In the vein of Monty Python, polish humorists scoff at the basic “boom boom tschak” in idiot techno music. Continue reading

[En] 3 great video clips (Drexciya / Minilogue / Swayzak)
Minilogue – Hitchhikers choice
Wao… THIS is a really exciting thing. No complex FXs or a lot of money spent here. A bit of talent and some ideas are enough. There are so many drawings that you can view this clip many times, you’ll always see things you didn’t pay attention before. Endless fun which can remind the D.A.N.C.E. video clip of Justice.
[Fr] Fcom n’est plus. (1994-2008)
C’est un peu la mode en ce moment d’annoncer de fausses nouvelles de décès (Manoeuvre, Sevran…), mais il semblerait que cette fois-ci nous ne soyons pas vraiment dans le registre de la plaisanterie. Continue reading
[Fr] Interview : Remote (kill the dj)
Cette semaine est (enfin) sorti le premier album du duo français Remote. Boing Poum Tchak! les avait déjà suivi pour leur premier live au Pulp, ainsi que pour leur premier maxi Get a real job, il était donc logique de revenir vers eux pour leur premier long-format sur Kill the dj : la petite bombe dark italo / electro techno moderne Dark enough. Décryptage en règle des dix hits underground potentiels par Seb Fouble et Eric Guillanton, pour qui “la musique électronique n’est [décidément] pas faite pour les spotlights”. Continue reading
[En] The Tuss – Rushup I bank 12 video (rephlex)
The music of this video clip is taken from one of the best – and mysterious – album of 2007 : Rushup edge by The Tuss on the rephlex label. A lot of words have been written about the identity of The Tuss. First, everybody thought The Tuss was Brian Tregaskin, a never-heard-about-him guy, new gifted composer on the prestigious rephlex roster. Maybe too much talented… Continue reading
[En] A Number of Names – Sharevari @ The Scene (tv show) – detroit (1982)
The music the dancers perform onto in this amazing video is considered by many as the very first Techno track: it is called Sharevari, played by A Number of Names. Continue reading

Talkin’ all that Tsugi night
Arrivé vers minuit, la piste de danse semble déjà bien agitée. Qui est responsable de la mouvance ambiante ? Continue reading
[En] Swayzak – 10 years @ Rex Club
October 20th. English duet Swayzak was celebrating their ten years of collaboration at Rex Club, Paris, and also their last album Some Other Country (!K7).
After a great groovy deep / dub (with some little dark oddities) warm-up by Roger 23, and the short concert of Richard Davis, David Brown & James Taylor finally came to the stage. So, what was going on? Just two sweet hours of laptop-live, as usually totally improvised, with some vocal tracks sung by their old friend Richard Davis (Another way back, No sad goodbyes…). Then, Roger and all the crew played nice records until 6 am. A really good night!
[Fr] Interview : Dondolo (tiny sticks / la bulle sonore)
