While I'm still waiting for Steve's response, I gotta wonder if there's more out than just that Fred Falke thing. Again on the Cut Copy tip, 'Saturdays' is out as an AUS single and is easily one of the best things ever in 2004. The tragedy is that his remixers aren't French house or filterdisco producers.

the Cut Copy remix is alright but it hasn't grabbed me i must confess.

did anyone hear that Cassius track 'Losing North' that i mentioned upthread - love their basslines - they must have a new album out soon

i still need to hear the other Hystereo tracks

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I need to hear them full stop.

I love that remix so because it's 'Glittering Clouds' gone rock. You MUST hear 'Saturdays'.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

And you must also play both at a fuck-off volume to really appreciate them.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i love Saturdays, it was a bit of a grower. Glittering Clouds best thing evah obv.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you hear 'Live'?

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 22 October 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh - my intro to Cut Copy was via Flo-Motion on XFM a couple of years back. Luscombe only had to mention 'same stable as The Avalanches' and i was trying to find what i could. as it turned out then 'Glittering Clouds' and 'Live' were all i did find and i liked them both a lot.

I listened to the Rex Records EP/I Thought Of Numbers yet again last night. His 80s influences were better when he was more camp and wider-ranging. I'll send you the rest of the EP when I move back/if you need.

there were a couple of good Sonic Animation tracks floating around back then as well weren't there? not very French tho - u have?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

ARGH NO NOT SONIC ANIMATION NO! FLEE STEVE FLEE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:42 (twenty-one years ago)

ha, a friend of mine said the same after initally championing one track of theirs. i've not heard enough to know. 'I'm The DJ' amused me tho.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Sonic Animation are a fine example of everything that is wrong with Australian dance music.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 22 October 2004 13:00 (twenty-one years ago)

that just makes me want to hear them even more...

This is a good thread.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

search out Alyoa - It's Been Too Long, a wonderful feel-good anthem for the summer.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

it reminds me of a pet shop boys track. "always on my mind", maybe

Vahid! Jess & Crabbe's "In Your Eer" is the awesomeness!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 6 August 2005 07:12 (twenty years ago)

'Discopolis' is omnipresent these days. It's great of course.

― Omar (Omar), Saturday, 6 August 2005 07:57 (twenty years ago)

'Discopolis' may be the finest dance track I've heard in a while, omnipresent or not....

OMG! JJ Flores - Time for Love

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 15 January 2006 22:59 (twenty years ago)

JJ Flores and Steve Smooth, actually.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 15 January 2006 23:02 (twenty years ago)

(The trick is that bassline, which is where the dancing happens)

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 15 January 2006 23:31 (twenty years ago)

(listen to it here)

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 16 January 2006 01:18 (twenty years ago)

Its not really filterdisco is it? Oh well. In spirit.

anyone heard the new kris menace track, "Voyage"?

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone remember the name of french house song with a video clip that had a guy entering a club with a vinyl album in one hand and then he enters a club and tosses it to the dj that plays it and the guy then starts dancing off against other people. He eventually wins all the battles and walks out of the club.

Any help naming the song would be appreciated.

― Pologuy, Sunday, 19 March 2006 22:40 (twenty years ago)

i know that video but i cant remember the title either :\

the new Alan Braxe & Fred Falke, "Defender", is a pretty awful Human After All ripoff. the b-side is v nice though!

― fez, Saturday, 29 April 2006 17:24 (twenty years ago)

And although not French, the new Full Intention, "I Believe In You", fully qualifies for this thread.

I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu I believe in yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu

Joachim Garraud - Rock The Choice is kinda cool

where are the filterhouse dj sets??

― W i l l (common_person), Sunday, 30 April 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm in love with "High On" by Lifelike and desperately need more trance-house like it!!

― gaseous (gaseous), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 07:00 (twenty years ago)

I too love "Discopolis".

but i cant find it anywhere for sale any more, apparently being a full year too late.

also, didnt know siegbran was still around?

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 13:43 (twenty years ago)

I've seen this record around quite a lot in stores, so maybe that helps. And mixed it's on tons of compilations.

I'm still around.

I'm such a cheeseball I still can't get enough of this stuff. Especially Lifelike (the comp I made of his best singles/remixes is so hot I can't imagine what it would do to someone who never heard him before..)

I've even started making my own filterhouse cause I need more! That heavy compression + big kick(when it's done RIGHT) is like a hot injection of some interstellar space dust drug...

But yeah, I've said it so much it's almost spam but "HIGH ON" is the summer in outer space jam for all time

ah, 'discopolis'. were those other remixes any good? my copy has alan braxe (pretty good reshape of the original) and chris lake (bog-standard electrohouse, not my thing really).

actually, did anyone hear that kris menace "stars on 33" thing that came out last year? that was mega-filtered.

― slackety yax (H2-H4), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

you mean 'i feel music in your heart'? that was my fave track of the year!

― Jena (JenaP), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

yes that's it! SO good.

DJ Kittles - Brasil EP

http://www.junodownload.com/products/1232966-02.htm

this is almost too much fun.

― ☪, Friday, 16 November 2007 22:47 (eighteen years ago)

Vahid I've been listening to those Jess & Crabbe live on Cassius FM mixes again. So amazing. The beginning of the second disc that starts with that fantastic (who is it?) remix of "Killer", then goes into Romanthony, and then "Take Me With You"... Wow.

― Tim F, Sunday, 18 November 2007 12:37 (eighteen years ago)

I just picked up "Bad Trooperz" on secondhand vinyl. Great stuff.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 10:28 (eighteen years ago)

Anyone mention Motorbass 'Pansoul' and those Superdiscount 12s?
I feel like a lot of the filtering is drawn from a few chicago &
detroit records. Paperclip People 'Throw' in particular, though
filtering is a trick thats been used since disco djs hit the decks.

― Ulysses, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

I just tried to search for any mentions of Impulsion on ILX and only came up with an offhand reference to their greatness from Donut, who I know also loves The Micronauts, which is the group that Christophe Monier concentrated on after the Impulsion album Love Addict came out in 1998. (strangely I've never heard the Micronauts' album Bleep to Bleep even though it's a discount bin staple)

Anyways, Impulsion: I read a review of Love Addict way back in 1999 that said it was amazing and compared it favourably to Remedy. At the time it was harder to track down music not released in my country than it is now, and after a desultory search I gave up. I've thought of them later on from time to time and wondered what they were like, but never enough to do anything about my ignorance.

But I just picked up a secondhand vinyl copy of the single "The Trip" and it is the awesomeness, totally the sort of crazy dark french house I was talking about on this thread many years ago, but bleeding into jaxx/new horizons style, er, wonky punk garage, which is probably the style I most want to revive at the moment. I love the Van Helden style camp flashy agression of the snare patterns.

Also recently picked up Monier's Rockers Delight: The Rock Sound of Darkest Paris, which is a Monier retrospective (1990-1996) cunningly disguised as a compilation. It's neither as rocky, nor, TBH, as pivotal as it would like to pretend. But it's worth the price of admission for Dr. Love & Nature's "La Nouvelle", another classic slice of french house going into the dark void.

Any other recommendations along these lines?
