Albums, Electronic, Techno | Alesia – Andrea EP
Posted by Spice on December 4, 2013
Our favorite genre-hating French duo dropped their debut EP yesterday via Skrillex’s OWSLA, and genres be damned, this is not one to miss. Chock full of chilling industrial vibes that don’t skimp on the punches or energy level, Andrea is a fast paced and relentless ride that may lead you wonder what, exactly, is going on in Alesia’s head. Some of the tracks will be familiar to those of you who have been following the duo/team OWSLA — the clanging, eerily-pitched “Otho” was released as a single earlier this year and the techy, titular “Andrea” has been making the live set rounds. The electro-tinged “Jezabel” is a dark, hard-hitting banger best suited for the kind of deranged dance floors typically found in basement clubs and warehouses, while “Industriae” slows it down, packing a wallop with some truly guttural, metallic synths that would make even Gesaffelstein salivate. Stream it below in full and head to Beatport for the download if you’re dark and twisty like we are.

Electronic | Phazz – You
Posted by BP on November 20, 2013
Today I’ve got a new track for you from French artist, Phazz, out on the Cream Collective. This track is incredibly mellow, but not in the typical sense of the word mellow, with very prominent drum work. The strings and piano make it soft and haunting. Overall, it’s a very unique and chill track, and it’s free!

If the name Ed Banger is not familiar to you, then I am sure pioneering French duo Justice are. Started back in 2003 by Busy P, the label has turned into a sanctuary of quality dance music, helping to launch the careers of Justice, Sebastian, Breakbot and others. On Saturday, November 2nd, the Ed Banger world tour will be making a stop at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC with a cast of Busy P, Breakbot and Justice (DJ set). Tickets are still on sale, so grab them here.

French producers KRONO whom I featured last week with their remix of Bruno Mars’ “Lazy Song,” are back at it this time with an original catchy electro record “Run” featuring vocals from Linying. I love the retro French house sound they’re going for with this one layered with jazzy smoky vocals. I definitely hear room for a big pop remix to make this track even more mainstream, for all you producers reading this! This is a must listen and a must download!

Progressive House | Magnus & Timon – Svart
Posted by Middy on October 7, 2013
After taking some time off to work on their studio and get their career on the right track with some labels, French duo Magnus & Timon are back with a new single “Svart” to remind their fans why they liked them in the first place. “Svart” has a nice blend of club and festival elements, lending to more live side of their sounds. Look for more from these in the coming months.

House, Indie | Two Door Cinema Club – Changing Of The Seasons (Belarbi Remix)
Posted by VMan on October 5, 2013
Wish I was more knowledgeable on Two Door Cinema Club, but thanks to Parisian producer Belarbi’s remix of “Changing Of The Season,” I am now properly introduced to their sound. There’s a growing trend lately of remixing indie records into dance tunes, and Belarbi does the trick with this one. If you’re into light and sexy tunes with a hint of French house, consider yourself served for the day. Now if only there was a free download…Either way, this is a must listen! Enjoy your Saturday!
House, Pop | Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song (Krono Remix)
Posted by VMan on September 22, 2013
Lazy Sunday calls for Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song” remixed by French duo Krono. Brothers Mickael et David Couderc bring the bass, and twist the Bruno Mars pop record into a French house dance floor banger. Can’t say this record is my favorite from Bruno, but this remix I’ll listen to any day! Krono managed to make Mr. Mars sound like the 6th member of the Jackson Five, and it’s all soul! Enjoy the free download, and look forward to hearing more from these 2!
