der französische elektroniker m83 schrieb den soundtrack zu -you and the night- (-les recontres d apres minuit-), dem ersten spielfilm seines bruders yann gonzalez, der 2013 in cannes seine premiere feierte. musikalisch weicht m83 von seinem bekannten sound als künstler ab, und orientiert sich für den score an der intimität französischer filmmusik der 1970 er. Ähnlich wie beim soundtrack für - oblivion - ist auch hier wieder die norwegische sängerin susanne sundfor mit von der partie.

the groovers sound is the result of a lot of late nights, forged and crafted with utter devotion to creating a unique sound. all our influences were bought into the studio and from the tension between a love and knowledge of various musical styles and modes, of temperament and personality we found that it clicked. the result of this collaboration between finn campbell-notman and steve ferrand is ten track collection of songs from slow to mid to house tempos. each time we worked on a track or song we asked ourselves >is this a groovers track< and the only criteria in deciding if it was was >does it feel like one or not< this feel that we were searching for is: that bittersweet, syncopated and soulful one that we both love regardless of genre. our influences range from deep deep dancefloor house, early downtempo, latin soul, boogie, southern funk, and shimmering techno
the mfa return in style with synth-pop spectacular throw it back - a timeless squelchy acid, crunchy guitar and vocal blend worthy of classic new order
