la fete ep is a collection of 3 remixes of luc mariannis voyage vers l harmonie. they were made by crystal (beats in space nagano), john shade (bristol) and tin man (vienna).

more 80’s luc marianni unreleased material remixed on the flip by london producer bass clef (punch drunk, idle hands…). after timeless remix by fxhe’s o b ignitt on ddd, best 2012 album nominee bass clef samples 3 tracks in one providing an extended crazy minimal tech à la matthew herbert bass track (yes it exists now !).

we are particularly proud to bring you this 2xlp based on unreleased tapes recorded in 1975, way before mariannis first lp back in 1980! after 2 years remodelling the archives at jeangérards studio, they now deliver a brand new 75 minutes album, obviously not abided by any hype. not only does the music remind such bands like popol vuh or any grm act (where marianni taught himself), but also 90s artists like massive attack, boards of canada or even moby. although each track fills one side of the vinyl like in the 70s, you can listen to the detailed samples. check for instance a3 b5 c2 d1 and d2.

long awaited new release on the ddd label and now genuine record store in paris, here are two unreleased tracks made by luc marianni back in 1988 and resurrected from original tapes! new omar s protégé o b ignitt gives a brilliant reinterpretation of mariannis music and confirms the d still rules the world of dance music

luc who? marianni? this reclusive french composer paved the underground music history with a handful of mind-blowing lps but still managed to surprisingly fall under the radar. even the experts seem to have forgotten about him when there were clues all over the place! it is true luc marianni didnt belong to no family but his own, with his constant work-in-progress through the gathering of friends and the odd random musical chance meeting.
it is therefore with great pleasure that we offer for the first time in decades the scarce remaining stock of original copies from his first and last vinyls, hoping to turn some heads along the release of the remix ep on ddd records: ddd-lmr-t01 with remixes of jared wlison (detroit), dam mantle (glasgow) and nukubus (rotterdam).

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls
