the golden days are back again...

Times are good... Well, musically, I think they are. I am quite excited by the new music that is around, there to grab you if you accept to leave safe shores behind... I've never been one to complain about the lack of good records though but I feel so much more comfortable now than, let's say, two years ago...

It's not only the production but also the audience... There is out there a young enthusiastic crowd that surprises me more and more... They may be a mixture of kids growing up of Headbangers stuff and others bored by bongo conformism... They may be something else, who cares...

A noticeable ripple effect of this emergence is playing again records from the (personal) 'Golden Era' of 1999-2002: the proto-electroclash days, the rediscovery of punk funk, rock on the dancefloor, dark electronics and, for myself and above all, Kill The DJ at Le Pulp. For instance, I was amazed the other day, by the crowd reaction to In Flagranti's 'Just Gazing' and my parisian all-night long did have strong reminiscences of these days. I hope to be able to stick a few in London too tomorrow...

No silly nostalgia though, no 'retro set'. Simply because these records fits with a certain fringe of today's production. Bravo.

Here's an extended version of a minor classic of the period. An obscure one though, the more obvious being for you to (re)discover.
