Benoit & Sergio

i can get w/ paul simon. im all about these guys but paul simon is by far my most listened to.

i mean full grown man is straight up peter gabriel though, i would have said peter gabriel.

"Full Grown Man" is still my favourite I think.

From FB:
Benoit & Sergio
it is with outstanding pleasure to announce that BENOIT & SERGIO's slow motion homage to daft punk's "AROUND THE WORLD" (COVER) will be released on VINYL ONLY.....NEXT WEEK......

Yah I totally hear paul simon on this stuff, as I did on that ndf song from last yr

"around the world" is the first thing by these dudes that i'm not feeling

that slow hands "sweetest taboo" cover lex posted is dope tho

Everybodys is still my fave, but 'Let Me Count the Ways' (just heard it this past week) kills it as well, albeit in a more in-your-face kind of way.

let me count the ways
the ways that I love y-

Is it just me or is there a much sleazier vibe to these guys than the rest of this Sade-house movement?

otm, and a less stoned, more big-room, poppy vibe imo

I think "Sade-house movement" (though a nice coinage) perhaps doesn't capture the "movement" as such, only isolated examples of it.

ugh "everybody" is so shit and such vapid polar french house, i seldom am moved to criticise but it's really not fun. it's like "take me with you" minus all the joyous hysteria.

oh shaddap

these guys!

:)

yeah a lot of deep house in general could qualify for "Sade house", really

Saw these guys play last month at Voltt Loves Summer in Amsterdam. I have to admit I was a little disappointed and left their set early to drink cocktails and watch Scuba. They didn't seem to know how to create a sense of live dynamics, drama or momentum, came across as anti-climatic and flat. Probably didn't help that they came on after Actress, and were so early in the day. Then again, maybe people have had other experiences seeing them play out?

And the new remix:

Lovely remix!

im going to see them on saturday, will report back

pretty delightful

yeah, that's nice

superb. so i take it they were commissioned to do a remix but they did a cover instead? like aeroplane did with friendly fires?

Yeah, really beautiful, can't stop listening to it. On a side note, from the Metronomy remix record, 'Loving Arm (Soul Clap's Shake A Leg Mix)' is also pretty great.

y'all should be listening to http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=91481#unread

like aeroplane did with friendly fires?

iirc all the old-school Aeroplane remixes are Vito playing new parts and keeping the vocals - ARS are on the original track.

oh, i didn't realise that. i think i've only listened to the original track once.

iirc, Au Revoire Simone's vocals were mixed out of the original "Paris"?

If they're there, they're only doing "ahs" or something

yeah I mean they're barely audible as backing vocals in the chorus, but their whole parts were there on the multitrack for Vito to discover and use

woah i never knew that-- i just assumed aeroplane was like "fuck this dude let's re-record the vocals"

"Corrine" is amazing!

Their Resident Advisor mix is fantastic. So summery!

ha i am working on a mix right now and had a hard time deciding between using sabbath's "planet caravan" or "laguna sunrise"-- really glad i went with the latter now!

Loving the RA mix. New Look's "Nap on the Bow" in particular - swoony kate bush disco.

yep this mix rules. love it when they translate their k'd out sad indie electro house spiel to a summery context

also - Birds & Souls - Socially Conscious... is this them? it's great! (the "since i heard your name..." one)

Birds and Souls is Sergio and Ryan Crosson.

ahhh. his voice is p recognizable i suppose i should've known. didn't realize that they released something in 2010 - http://www.discogs.com/Birds-Souls-Birds-Souls/release/2260976

streaming previews of three new songs http://aboveboarddist.co.uk/visionquest/VQ018

title track = incredible

all three sound fucking awesome tho

mmmmmmmm

This new EP is really good, yes.

It is EXCELLENT

plus I just heard "boy trouble" for the first time yesterday and am HOOKED

Lipstick and Lace reminds me of Prince in some weird way

Benoit & Sergio - Bridge So Far (Lee Foss Cut)

"Bridge So Far" coming out on Hot Creations in a few weeks. SUCH A BANGER.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RJ6hE8a29E

I was weary of this because "lol Hot Creations" but this is brilliant. Is the intro meant to sound like they're singing the words "walk and talk" with some sort of self-referencing?

Glad this is finally coming out.

& it's out!

“Principles” is great, though I do think they peaked early where with “Full Grown Man” and “What I’ve Lost”.
