mighty robot kicks off 2009 with the first vinyl release from french electro artists katelectro and jauzas the shining. the original version of >plug< is music custom-made for a dark room and a strobe, the spoken vocal adding to the sense of vague unease. newcomer ottomatique takes his >plug< rework in a different direction, retaining the vocal, adding some eighties synths and underpinning it all with a throbbing industrial meets disco bassline. the legendary ultradyne push the discomfort and discord up a notch in their remix, staying fairly true to the original, but drenching it with their unique sinister atmospherics. things take a reflective turn for closing track >art of noise< as ghosts crackle in the circuits and bring the collection to a close.

its about time that i put you all up on some more electro...yeh, i know, ive been pretty biased with all the hip hop & sneaker posts! the blogs going to have a bit of a facelift soon, including some of the content, so stay tuned! anyhow, this gem comes from french duo donovan. to sum up their style, theyve got a chromeo-esque kind of sound to them, crunchy electro with an 80s feel. theyve also banged out some sick remixes for the likes of sebasiten tellier & in the club (their remix of turn you on is straight fire). breakin sounds great dave spoon (radio 1 - worldwide) yet another quality release from work it baby. this label really has developed its own sound release by release and its always a great quality especially in these days of all the same.matteo esse (cosmonote srl / various worldwide) charlie fanclub remix is real nice dj neoteric (many / dubsided records / national + international touring) i fucking love the charlie fanclub mix, totally up my street. i will be hammering it.

kitsuné kicks off 2009 with a melodic and romantic gem, remixed by new york legend todd edwards and californian avant-garde artistes acid girls. praised for their unconventional opening sets for cat power, appaloosa is born from the chance encounter of a london-based producer from berlin and a french globe-trotter recently returned to paris. together they have written the ultimate chanson damour presented here with a raft of stylish remixes. todd edwards, the living house legend, offers an enrapturing and mystical rework of the original track. a house groove and a heavenly touch propel us into ecstasy. acid girls paints the song in loud fluorescent colours and rips it up in an explosive finale. finally, appaloosas own dub version extends the experience with a burst of free poetry, an offering which brings to mind the orbs nebulous reveries.

after several months of hard video- and filmwork, and several awards, french-vietnamese cutie tk.kim aka. pop-3 will finally release some new tracks, on vinyl and online, and by the way, she promised to release more stuff in 2009! so, the new release, chicks and cuts, with 8 tracks online and a 4-track vinyl 12, is definitely dancy, clubby and loud. definitely in the tradition of pop-3s former releases, that never perfectly fitted a precise music category and prove that tk.kim still refuses to be house, tec or minimal. shes all of them or none of them. and what does chicks and cuts sound like, then? boomy squeaking analog sequences combined with delicious samples of her sweet voice will delight the dancefloor, lo-fi audio splinters coming out of old analog drummachines play something like very reduced melodies, and well shaped bassdrums and deep synths will delight your tummies. the very minimal lyrics are in french, as usual. and, goodie: sonja moonear and akiko kiyama contribute with amazing remixes to this fine girls-only oeuvre, rhythmical and minimal but still very harmonious the one by akiko, deep and mysterious the one by sonja. and by the way, the cover is really sweet, people say.

poni hoax poppiest moment comes reshaped by chloe, one of our favourite french producer and djs. she managed to turn the original into a long hypnotic house journey driven by repetitive voice drones and cut ups and a pounding bass. deep, subtly melancholic, cold and warm at the same time, everything we love about chloe is there. on the flip side, principles of geometry exercise their passion for detuned synthetisers on the beautiful juno 106 chords of poni hoaxs paper bride, the opening track of their recent album.

deadmau5 is back with huge smash hit >ghosts n stuff< and the minimal >peddler of misery<. ghosts n stuff was written especially for deadmau5s essential selection live from the warehouse project manchester. a new musical direction for the mau5, ghosts n stuff is a gigantic slab of french house. big organs and synths collide alongside a killer bassline and tight percussion. ghosts n stuff looks like being one of mau5s biggest hits to date. peddler of misery is the complete opposite to ghosts n stuff with its minimal arrangement and trippy double beat. the percussion is delayed and crazy, helping to create real messed up dancefloor moments!
