I know a lot of the purists hate them, along with who sampled.com, but that's pure gate-keepery to me. Forgot it was a Schooly D sample! In a similar vein, this is a video I keep coming back to. I love how he still implements the old school gear into his music making still to this day. Owning and having owned some of the gear he uses, it's mental to think how guys like him did it back then with purely hardware synths and samplers, sequenced on an Amiga and all recorded onto tape. Using that gear to create music is such a long winded process, but it really does sound different compared to stuff made purely on a computer - regardless of what people say. I love how he skips over some of the samples that he never cleared and haven't been discovered... yet!

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 25, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2022 There was a who's who of French Touch out in force at Cannes yesterday for the Premier of the new Quentin Depieux (aka Mr Oizo) movie. Pedro Winter, DJ Falcon, Gaspard Augé, Thomas Bangalter. A couple of them did DJ sets at the after party.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Did Thomas put on a set? I hope he played his old song Rectum and made people feel sick as a throwback to the Irreversible Cannes showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 25, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2022 From what I heard it was Gaspard, Oizo and Busy P doing sets. I saw a report that Thomas has done the score to a new show on HBO Max called Irma Vep. It starts next month. https://theplaylist.net/alicia-vikander-irma-vep-a24-thomas-bangalter-20220513/ Has anybody seen the gold double vinyl reissue of Cross coming out soon for the 15th anniversary? I think it's part of a membership to some kind of swanky vinyl subscription service. Still looks nifty. Can't believe that album is 15 years old. It's 9 or 10 years since I saw them at the Academy. https://www.vinylmeplease.com/products/justice-cross?fbclid=IwAR1o6gbUsXqXyW1Vd4AHE3HLdmnjqhJ8n1fYqZgvYF7ZEGEO-pAKg1NApLs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Jim Bob Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I've been listening to Dance music for 20 years but I know very little about Balearic music. It was way before my clubbing time tbh. I was chatting to a friend of a friend the other day in the pub about it. He is an older DJ in his late 50's.. He is a notorious piss taker though. Its hard to take what he says seriously. He was telling me his favourite Balearic track was by Chris Rea. I completely thought this guy is taking the piss out of me.   Turns out he was right. What a fucking dance floor monster. I really need to deep dive into Balearic. Edited May 26, 2022 by Cousin Jim Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 26, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 26, 2022 Not electronic music, but now you've mentioned Chris Rea and Balaeric in the same sentence I've thought of this: Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say it was by ATB? I was kind of right.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 26, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 26, 2022 Yeah York, they had a couple of mainstream trancey hits with that one and The Awakening in 99 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Anyone old enough to go clubbing around 92-93 ever get in to the Darkside/Darkcore stuff? I found it in the past few years due to loving a bit of Breakbeat Hardcore and Jungle but this tiny shortlived disgusting genre slid in between them, I know a single person who's also really in to it but she's not old enough to have experienced it at the time either.

Merzbow Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Going back to '92 once again, it's amazing how fresh this still feels. There was a recent big fuck off collection of Acen songs released with all the classic versions and some truly amazing more modern remixes.

Merzbow Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Very much a Merzbow release this but the new Diamanda Galas album is some creepy shit like you'd expect from her early days, truly back on form as the queen of experimental lunacy. https://diamandagalas.bandcamp.com/album/broken-gargoyles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
