Rubix, a Dutch DJ, is getting a bigger and bigger reputation. It is necessary to say that he surfs on the disco house wave which returns on the top, top of the charts as the success of Duck Sauce in England illustrates it. Always the same recipes, a great groovy disco sample, a house funky beat and it's done for a tour on the dancedfloor! "Baiser Sur La Disco" is the best track of Rubix and the music video is worth seeing!

One of my favoutire hip-hop labels, Big Dada, lives maybe a bend because its pure hip-hop releases are not really interesting. On the other hand, when MCs put their flow on electronic dance instrumentals, Big Dada rocks! Remember Wiley with his incredible "Wearing My Rolex"! This recipe based on 90's house and baltimore music seems the future of the label, especially when we discover this young MC, Jammer, and his "Party Animal". What an animal song!


The name Shadow Dancer does not maybe say to you much while his album "Golden Traxe" appears in the list of the albums of the year. At the menu "maximal" techno typical of the German label Boysnoize Records. In the middle of this profusion of maxi basselines , of extreme speedy breaks, we find "Drivetime", an incredible space odyssey. The fans of Vitalic will love it, for sure...


Danton Eeprom has just released out his first openly interesting electronic album. Such revolutionary as his name suggests it, the guy from Marseilles makes of "Yes Is More" an trans-style opus, mixs of rock, techno, cold wave... And prooves it with this new wave cover of a disco funk 80's track of Sister Sledge, "Lost In Music", with in addition the singer of Au Revoir Simone, Erika Forster. Unexpected and divine at the same time.

What a year for the French producer, Flairs, who, after the success of his first album, releases out a new EP which is really great. "Truckers Delight" is an instrumental electronic pop track with a little taste of psychedelism. Beyond the tune it is the music video which I like, a porno trash track race cartoon looking like an old video game which reminds "Crazy Cars", old fans of CPC6128 Amstrad will fell childish nostalgia!


As Little Boots, Florence & The Machine is an English young woman Florence Welch, musically talented. Great on stage, she has something special I can not explain which makes her scheming and really attractive. Surrounded for the recording of her first album "Lungs" by nowadays figures of production (Paul Epworth, James Ford, Steve MacKay), Florence and her machines push far her surges accompanied with masterful orchestrations. And when her cover "You' Ve Got The Love" of The Source is remixed by The XX, then we are not far from nirvana.

Be careful, click in sight! "Hungry For The Power" is maybe the track of the year thansk to the unknown Azari & III. I am unconditional of this retro 80's house style grabing the groove of this period of which the label DFA Records is the new ambassador. And what say about the music video, a masterfpiece as the tune.The hungry of the power is dangerous for health but it is so good!





Alors que l'album des Crookers se fait toujours attendre, les italiens viennent de mettre en ligne un clip particulièrement original, pour certains peut-être même dérangeant ou déroutant. Le morceau "Put Your Hands On Me" où l'on retrouve du MC qui monte Kardinal Offishal est quant à lui étonnant, un mélange de R'n'B façon Estelle, de hip-hop tendance Kanye West, d'électro inspirée de Count & Sinden et une inspiration forte de Diplo pour les rythmiques. Je vous laisse découvrir.
While the Crookers' always is still awaiting, Italian have just put online a new music video particularly original, for some maybe even disturbing or puzzling. The track "Put Your Hands On Me" on which we find the MC, Kardinal Offishal, is surprising, a mix of Estelle's R'n'B, of hip-hop tendency Kanye West, of electro inspired of Count and Sinden and a strong inspiration of Diplo for the beats. I let you discover.

Le buzz de la semaine est la lettre de la chanteuse anglaise Lily Allen qui se retire de la musique à cause du piratage. Celle qui soit disant s'était fait connaître grâce à Myspace, finit par retourner sa veste montrant du doigt tous ces vilains de pirates qui spolient ces artistes tous proches de devenir SDF. Manipulée, de mauvaise de foi ou tout simplement idiote, elle a au moins le mérite d'avoir donné une idée géniale à Dan Bull de publier une vidéo et un morceau en guise de lettre ouverte à cette malheureuse Lily. Non sans humour et sincérité !
The buzz of the week is the letter of English singer Lily Allen who is just retired from music because of illegal downloads. The girl who had become known thanks to Myspace, ha just changed sides pointing all these naughty music hackers who despoil artists, closed to be homeless. Manipulated, of bad faith or simply idiot, she has at least the merit to give a brilliant idea to Dan Bull to publish a video and a track by way of open letter to this unfortunate Lily. No without humor and sincerity!
