the mighty one-man-band with the most notoriously misspelled airport pick-up signs in music history returns to his beloved hometown imprint musique risquée with a scorching three-track can of shake-ass. guillaume & the coutu dumonts is never one to shy away from fresh contrasts in his works, and we have no exceptions here - all manner of dark-to-light, flacid-to-hard, and identifiable-to-wtf? moments, sounds, and vibes abound. lead-off piece histories vraies brilliantly soundtracks the inevitable future moment when a season-premiere costumed viewing party for game of thrones unknowingly gets their punch spiked with moon rocks and teleported right to the middle of panoramabar at peak time. a2 jam far is the field counterattacks with the next level fusion of sun ra arkestra-esque transmissions wrapped around a humpty dance-on-steroids bassline, twisting and shifting away from the hands on the clock with beautiful ease - i am music.. indeed. finally, b-side long-burner whatevers inside rocks a sultry belly dancers theme song at an fm and modular synth bazaar on uranus, with g & the cds patented sharp percussion fills ensuring that the resulting melted faces and hearts will still be set in motion by the all-important collective flexing of the gluteus maximus.

weve waited really too long to release this ep. these tracks were given to musique risquée more than 10 years ago and waited since then on harddrive before they got rediscovered on a boozy night in tokyo. they have not aged a bit, fresh as when they were given to us. maybe we werent ready then. but we are now and hopefully you are too.

hailing from the rank depths of sf bay area back-alleys and only the grittiest of rundown nightclubs and dive bars, a taste of dj milanesa especials sleazy magic is finally here for the world to behold. fellow yay area freak and veteran fan of all things slightly askew for the dance floor, dave aju, managed to get dj milanesa onboard in the studio for this nasty ass jam of the highest/lowest order. chili dog surely finds its inspiration in the classic dance mania cannon of raw shit-talking party-rocking house trax, but ajus unique knob twists and turns here and there on co-production steers it clear into 2015 - the first wildly oversexed dance move anthem of the year is here, and hopefully only the first of many: if youre hungry double up, everybodys

calcutta destination danger is the common project of guillaume & the coutu dumonts and oleg poliakov. together they create a force of lethal dancefloor explosion. let them take you on their underwater mission or their fearful man hunt on this first ever collective ep on the always surprising and exciting musique risquée

akufen is back in great shape with some new original material for his own label musique risquée, the only label where you can find these unidentified musical objects. five tracks of swinging melodic madness like only akufen can craft. if these songs dont bring you a smile, well, too bad for you.

rediscover all the french radio hits of the 80’s in this 5lp boxset. from lio to rose laurens or images. and a few international ones like imagination or sabrina!

deleted - 180gram vinyl. first 200 copies come with limited hand-made screen printed sleeves (silver-white color on brown recycled sleeves), all further copies with full cover artwork. lovely the mole debut on meander. sun-infused, jacking and swinging house cuts with a very intuitive flow. in the past few years the canadian born, berlin based producer released a string of exceptional releases for labels like slices of life, perlon, musique risquee, wagon repair and his own maybe tomorrow. includes a remix from romanian genre-bending project amorf (vlad caia, mischa blanos and cristi cons). in 2017 amorf released their acclaimed debut album on understand, the label from cezar lazar

the third release on mdrnty rec comes from a longtime favorite and friend of the house: mr. guillaume & the coutu dumonts mostly known for his productions on musique risquée, circus company, oslo or for his many other projects and aliases! our fellow canadian has crafted this ep specially for us and we are happy to welcome him on the label. on remix duties we have argentinian ernesto ferreyra (partner in crime with guillaume in the project chic miniature)! this release is a deep excursion into the groove of house and the hypnotic beauty of techno. it is designed for those late hours when everyone is dancing eyes closed, digging a little deeper into the moment! modern sublime is a long burner cinematic piece of music with its guitars, epic vocals, drum fills and acid bass lines. this track has it all and skillfully drives the tension high as the story unfolds! landing on the b side showcases a very different but equally hypnotic face of this talented and longtime celebrated producer, with its arpeggiated melodies and lush pads guillaume guides us to safe ground with this beautiful and precisely calibrated track full of emotions! last but not least, ernestos remix reconfigures the rhythmical structures of landing and masterfully transforms it into a peak time house gem, guaranteed to move any living soul in the dance floor.

circus company and the mole have long been making eyes at each other across the same crowded dancefloor. colin de la plante?s primary project is synonymous with the off-kilter corner of house music we like to spend our time dancing in, and the labels he releases on are close cousins of the circus troupe. from wagon repair to philpot, musique risquee to perlon, it?s a wonder that we haven?t worked together previously, but finally that?s been put right with little sunshine. stripped back, understated disco grooves have always been the bread and butter of the mole?s sound, while infectious, cyclical melodic patterns are equally important in making his unique version of house music. on the title track, those elements are presented with full force, but in between the driving rhythms linger the most gorgeous keys, bringing a mellow introspection to the track as a neat counterpoint to the energy of the drums and arpeggios

guillaume & the coutu dumonts has been unstoppable over the past three years. since his debut album, face a lest, on montreals musique risquee label in 2007, the montreal-born berliner has released a steady stream of eps, remixes and compilation tracks for circus company, musique risquée, oslo, cocoon and many more. cannt have everything feat. dop, the first single taken from the forthcoming album breaking the fourth wall, was recorded in dops studio in paris.

we are delighted to announce the wagon repair debut of montreal native stephen beaupre. one half of crackhaus, a long time collaboration with deadbeat, stephen has recently released solo material on labels from musique risque and ~scape, and put out his debut album on mutek’s own imprint in 2006. in honour of the great ancient persian empire, ‘achaemenid’ roams stridently with tight kick, clangorous melodic cascades and prodding rhythmic tones. ethereal string pads and moaning atmospherics imply conflict, narrated by catchy vocal passages from beyond the murky depths. a reverberant rhythmic synth line injects life into ‘lotus eaters’, with static vocal samples and penetrative melodic tones forming sonic structures around deep tom and rattled hat. grossly intoxicating, elements lull into a mellow haze before reanimating into a wildfire finale.

colin de la plante is the canadian bred and berlin-based the mole. his unique and abstract take on modern disco on labels like wagon repair and musique risque put him right at the top of my wishlist….. so after promises of fulfilling filthy fantasies and a big share in the norwegian oil fund these 2 golden nuggets were handed over!

ltd 2013 repress in 180g vinyl! masterpiece of rolling minimal dub tech !! there he is again, boris steffen aka jichael mackson strikes back after more then a 2 years break with a statement of art, which only he can deliver in this unbelievable form. already known for his journeys on pastamusik, hartchef or musique risquee he has almost established his own brand of techno. call it jichael techno or mackson funk, his characteristic sound scapes were tried to copy many times. without success.

yoshihiro hannos project radiq as beautifully evolved over the last years. from his more dubby chilled out experiments to his present housier sound one thing always remain: his music as natural feel of groove and rhythm. what all good funk and jazz is made of. and it cant be clearer than on this new ep for musique risquée who demonstrates is different personnality. the housy groove of gun street shuffle to the soulful pharaohe and the funky stolen moments, this ep as it all!

for is 3rd release on musique risquee, after the well acclaimed dirty lipreading single and is first full lenght foe destroyer, stephen beaupre is back with a really solid record. thats all there is to say. gl’amour as the distinctive signature of stephen beaupré, his subtle use of vocals, strings colored with warm echos layered on a big and chunky drum beat. you can easilly acknowledge is natural sens of storytelling unfold in a brillant way. on the flipside, when you have it, would be an excellent way to summarise stephen electrifying live sets: funky, melodic hypnotic and sexy. we are very proud of this last one, hope you enjoy as much as we do.

after 3 years of long and painfull waiting our firiend jichael mackson is now back on musique risquee with 2 new great songs that we are happy to present here with this new release entitled just in time . on the a side locus pocus is what you can call a hard edged hypnotic techno track: loopy, bleepy, trippy and squiddly diddly. the b side, entitled sugar hill mountain, is what you can call a deep, warm and moody ambiant song: shiny, airy, velvety and mushy gushy. check it yourselves. its really worth the listening as it was worth the waiting.

guillaume coutu dumont has been unstoppable over the past three years. since releasing his debut album, face a l est, on montreals musique risquÚe label in 2007, the montreal-born berliner has released a steady stream of eps, remixes and compilation tracks for circus company, musique risquee, oslo, cocoon and many more. he has also kept up a nonstop touring schedule, wowing crowds the world over with a dynamic live show that never sounds the same twice. throughout, he has developed one of the most distinctive styles in contemporary house music-a deep, powerful and original fusion of afro-latin percussion, instrumental melodies, soulful vocals, and intricate rhythm programming. now, with his new album breaking the fourth wall, he takes another big step forward.

the mole is back on musique risquée with his 3rd ep to date called dreamer keep on dreaming. each track on this record is a story about dreams. dreamer is this weird one you cant get rid of, the with the annoying voice following you around everywhere. oh my stomach is the mysterious black & white dream, with cigar reek and bad whiskey breath. last ditch is the action packed one, with its car chase and the usual neverending sex scene at the end. and usually after, you wake up and the record is over.

scott monteith aka deadbeat is back on echocord with an absolutely killer ep. after his split ep with fenin on echocord colour this year, and his earlier ep with pole (d.p.) he is now back on echocord with his vampire ep. deadbeat is one scott monteith, a long time montrealer and recent berlin ex pat who has been releasing his own special blend of dub laden, minimal electronics since 2000, for labels such as cynosure, musique risquée, scape and spectral to name but a few. this continues in the same vain. dub is the key here and it is used with such class and insight. the flip sees a more twisted track that shows a slightly more edgy side.

the man behind some infamously amazing and joyful live sets, a successful first album for musique risqué, a great ep for oslo, and a brilliant debut on circus company with petit djinns-including the underground hit >sous l arbre<, guillaume & the coutu dumonts is now back on cc with >i was on my way to hell<. a delicious two-tracker for different moments, covering two distinct vibes perfectly. on the a side >i was on my way to hell< is a jam that bubbles over like a volcano with a marvelous synth pad melody building along with a gospel preacher sample. all the while a heavy groove powers away underneath- he’s got the secret! on the b side, we are taken to a more quiet but still melodic environment. >can’t argue with silence< opens up with a rolling bass line, a simple refined groove, and then gradually sprinkles tasteful acoustic hits and ethno-styled synth stabs on top. close your eyes and feel the heat of an >arabian night< inna guillaume & the coutu dumonts house sylee!

support comes from laurent garnier, mike shannon and karotte. one year after the release of his first masterful first solo album >foe destroyer<, on musique risquée and mutek_rec, stephen beaupre is back with with >fish fry<. for a first release on circus company we can say that monsieur beaupre is striking hard! on a side, >fish fry< is the tipical powerfull and psychedelic track stephen got the secret. thats the one you need to rock a dancefloor on peak time. we could compare it to a volcano. on b side, >stutter< leads us to a more straight 4/4 beat track

further support comes from luciano, jamie jones, luke solomon, polder, tom clark, italoboyz and many more. guillaume & the coutu dumont is quickly becoming seen as a prolific force in the electronic music scene. a strong defender of house music, he produces in collaborations as chic miniature, luci or egg, and on labels like mutek, musique risquee, hartchef discos, floppy funk and oslo, and now with petit djinns, his first ep for circus company
