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!

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!

House, Mix | Klingande – Jubel & Musique Chic Mixtape

Posted by on September 16, 2013

It’s a very rare thing to experience an artist live for the first time and immediately and unexpectedly fall in love with them right then and there. When I got the chance to see the French duo Klingande, I went in with an open mind and ended up being totally mesmerized during the entire hour and a half long set. How these guys have gone under my radar for so long, I’m not sure, so I’m thrilled to be sharing them now. Their live set was by far one of the most energetic I’ve seen yet this year. Imagine: Big Gigantic meets Disclosure, with a twist of that upbeat nu-disco from the likes of Dimitri From Paris. It was the perfect medley of funky jams, house, and indie electronic, which sounds like a crazy combination of everything but I promise, these guys make it work. And you better believe there was a live sax player rockin’ out up there, too.

Their first track I’m sharing, titled “Jubel,” seems to be one of their most popular tracks around these parts. It’s a got a great, vivacious melody, delicate vocals and a super groovy appearance by the sax.

This second one is a summer mixtape they produced for the French music blog, Musique Chic, which gives a much better feel for what their live set was like. I’ve had this one of repeat for days now and would encourage you to take advantage of this free download as well.

Looks like these Frenchmen have yet to make their way to the states, so for now, keep posted on their social media for upcoming releases. Fantastique ^_^

Electronic | Amerie – Gotta Work (Phazz Remix)

Posted by on September 4, 2013

Unlike most girls, I LOVE surprises. And boy did this Amerie remix from French producer Phazz knock me off my feet (or swivel chair, whatever). It starts off pretty trill and then about a minute in… well, I don’t wanna spoil the treat. All I can say is you better not pass on this soulful free download. Browsing through some of Phazz’s older tracks you might find that not only are they all free as well but they’re actually all very dope. In fact, the name should ring a bell if you’ve been on top of your music blogging game. So check it ~

French Kiwi Juice is that dude, anything he remixes, you can be sure is going to hit the spot! With that said, the producers from the UK, Bondax, called upon his services to remix this gem “Giving It All.” The drop around 40 seconds has that signature French Kiwi Juice feel, with a funky bass, and a light guitar layered with soulful vocals. If you’re looking for that cool track for your Saturday, we got you. Unfortunately no free download for this one, but stream at will. This track reminds me a bit of Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice,” let me know if you hear it.

And if you’re just getting acquainted with the French producer, listen to this tune “So Much To Me,” you’re going to be converted!

Posted by on August 12, 2013

BeatauCue - 'Aeropolis (Birdee Remix)We brought you the original plus the dubbed out remix from London dubstep duo, The Others a few weeks back, and now we have an exclusive download of another remix of “Aeropolis” from another Londoner, Birdee. The Brit produced more in the realm of disco, but with this remix, he works more with the original composition, adding his own touch to bring out the best qualities of the work from the French duo, while adding his own touch. The remix is has a brooding quality to it, yet manages to be very upbeat, tipped with with disco and funk, using a classic soul growl to make it unmistakable that the disco touch has been placed upon it. Grab the download below exclusively through us, you won’t regret it.

Electro, House, Videos | Stromae – Papaoutai

Stromae - Papaoutai

Stromae, the Belgian producer that was slept on until Kanye West rapped over “Alors On Danse” and the track went viral, dropped an awesome video for his track “Papaoutai.” We haven’t heard much from the Belgian producer since the release of his first album “Cheese” but I am glad he released this single as a follow up to the album. “Papaoutai” is the right song for the summer, with that island sound, full of energy, and perfect for the clubs. For all you French speakers, notice the clever play on words with the hook “Papaoutai” phonetically sounding like African dialect, but literally translating to “Papa Ou T’ai” or “Dad Where Are You” in English.
