The video of the beatiful ass shaking in your face for Sebastien Tellier’s single “Look” has been on the interwebs for more than a week now, and we initially resisted joining in the fray, but caved in eventually. It was made by Mrzyck and Moriceau for Record Makers in celebration of their 10th anniversary.

It seems that this new album was thought out, conceived and put together whilst a new baby (born in the Kitsuné family recently) was being breastfed in the room next door. He’s called Yumé – ‘dream’ in Japanese.

French label On The Fruit have been carving out a nice little crystalline niche for themselves in the big sparkling glacier of space-electro (or whatever it is we’re calling it this week), trading in an anthemic, synth heavy sound that lends itself to comparisons with fellow Frenchies Valerie Collective.

Where these guys really stand out though is the rawness of their sound.

Tracks like Freak You’s ‘From Nowhere’ have a brashness and fervor that really sets them apart, layering edgy, ethereal melodies over dark monotonal basslines straight from a Dario Argento slasher flick. ‘Torn Over’ sounds like a partially-reformed metal-head reimagining the collected works of The Human League for a hypothetical 18-rated arcade game. The real deal for us though is ‘Ballad For A Diskjockey’ which takes you on a dreamy space journey you will never forget.

If you hadn’t guessed we rate these tracks REALLY highly, and if you haven’t heard them waste no time in checking out the links below.

In just a few days On The Fruit are launching another quality act – Midnight Club. With over twenty years in the production biz under various guises these guys are no spring chickens, and their experience shows with deft touch and a maximalist approach that fits the label to a tee. It’s the kind of stuff that will make mincemeat of the right dancefloor, and each of the five tracks on the The Machine EP are more than deserving of your attention.

No duds here, but we particularly like the big electronic bangs and crashes found in the original and B-side ‘Replay’. Look out for the release later this month.

This also gives us an excuse to give props to another ‘On The Fruit’ stalwart in Worship. A bit more restrained but no less assured, ‘The Dome’ was one of our top EPs of ‘09… a real dark horse that demonstrates an obvious skill for sound sculpture and the dark arts of prog-disco. EP number two is apparently in the pipeline, so watch this space for more details…

Le Le has had a good year and it’s time to unleash the remixes of one of the key tracks on their last EP (Marble).

“Disco Monster” has been hammered by the likes of DJ Mehdi, Busy P, Breakbot, Brodinski, Joost van Bellen, Erol Alkan, Tom Trago and many more.

Bot’Ox is Julien Biffaz and Benjamin Boguet (AKA Cosmo Vitelli and one half of Tekel).

In just five releases, Bot’Ox have cemented their place on the international scene with productions on prestigious labels such as DFA, DC recordings, Grand Central and I’m a cliché.

French girl band Plastiscines were one of the first few signings on Nylon Records in the USA and they have supported Little Boots on tour the past few months.

Summer comes along and brings about refreshing change at times.

An awesome music mix done for the season can revitalize even the most weary of souls.

Pierre Laroux and Victor Le Manse are Housse De Racket (literally translated as racket cover) and surprisingly, their choice of band name
was much more than a reference to tennis, rather their way of signalling their aim to make a ‘racket’ of house music itself.

The band behind the craziest track of Maison 6 makes a welcome return with one brand new one off Maison 7.
Heartsrevolution has a spanking new video of just that latest track “薔薇と彼女の王子” which translates to “The Rose And Her Prince“.

The French like to take digs at the rest of the music world and sometimes they sing in French so we cannot understand them.

Make The Girl Dance are a sleek electronic rock duo who make music essentially to make girls well, DANCE.
