D.A.N.C.E x Rinôçérôse / Jessie Chaton = Fancy

I don’t think that equation makes sense, but anyways Jessie Chaton is the frontman of the French glam rock band, Fancy opening up for Justice on their upcoming US tour. Apparently Mr. Chaton wrote D.A.N.C.E which increases Fancy’s music street cred. Jessie Chaton makes a guest appearance on Rinôçérôse’s album Schizophonia on the track “Bitch”. I’m excited to see these guys open for Justice, they look like they put on a great show and just rock.

Todd Edwards

I just got my hands on Todd Edwards’ Odyssey and am listening to it and really digging it and I think to myself, wow Daft Punk really rips him off, especially his vocal style. I then do some research and find out that Todd Edwards co-produced “Face to Face” and is the guy singing on it. Ha! Oh and he is mentioned in “Teachers” off Homework. Daft Punk Discovery
Todd Edwards is apparently the godfather of the Garage scene in the UK, a producer from Bloomfield, New Jersey. I love what he does with vocals, he has this cut up sound that reminds me of Prefuse 73, just listen to what he does to the the vocals in the Klaxons remix. I love his synth bass sounds, they are so slick and the way he uses Fender Rhodes in his tracks. I’m so glad I finally discovered him.

The people at Fabric rejected the Justice’s Fabriclive mix because it was too short and the mix was not what they were expecting, too much French pop and disco. They even wanted to add Donna Summers’ “Dim All The Lights” and Supertramp’s “Another Man’s Woman”. Instead they just made a few copies and gave it awwayas a xmas mix. Who has a copy? 🙂 I got my hands on most of these tracks and love this mix, it gives you some insight into what is going on in Justice’s musical minds.

Filter R&B: Estelle & Rihanna

I am really feeling this new track by Estelle featuring Kanye, it is very French disco sounding. Notice the track gets filtered out during the verse and the bassline is so slick. Estelle sounds a bit like Donna Summer on this and Kanye does his thing as usual, he kind of sounds British. Cheers.

Estelle – American Boy (feat. Kanye West)

Estelle Wikipedia

“The forthcoming album is rumoured to feature production from the likes of Will.I.Am, Wyclef Jean, Mark Ronson, Cee-lo, Swizz Beatz and John Legend.”
o0o0o Exciting.

Rihanna x Ed Banger x So Me x The Cobra Snake

So I just heard this song on the radio the other day and was really impressed by it especially the sample that she uses that sounded to familiar to me, it was of course Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Something”. I then found out that Michael Jackson took that hook from a 1973 track by Afrique, “Soul Makossa”, even copied bassline. Either way I love how the Rihanna track gets filtered out during the verse. French Filter House is everywhere!!
Rihanna – Don’t Stop The Music

Michael Jackson – Wanna Be Startin’Something

Who are the Dex Pistols?

So who are these two Japanese hipsters that get to hangout with Daft Punk & the Ed Banger Crew? Well they are DJ Maar and DJ Daruma and they haven’t released their productions/remixes/mixes out in the US and they only spin in Asia. So I don’t know much about them or can figure anything out by reading their blog/record label/clothing line site, Roc Star News since I can’t read Japanese. There are a bunch of photos of them chilling with Boys Noize, Intitubes artists, DJ Falcon as well a s bunch of photos form the dafunkfest Japan Tour ’07.

Scroll down and check out their post on the “COOL COOL PHOTO BLOG “COBRA SNAKE”, ha. Roc Star

New M83 track that reminds me of Depeche Mode off of Saturdays = Youth which will be released 4.15.2008. It’s not your usual epic M83 sounding track with lush vocals and synth that wash over you.
