my electro party

When you love electro in any of its forms (house, trance, minimal, electropop, hardcore, disco, industrial, chillout ….. or just “electro”) differentiating quality from crap or underground from commercial is many times impossible.

Saying Daft Punk are gods of the French Touch just because they were lucky enough to remix . Cerrone or Breakwater isn’t quite right. Saying the opposite……. is also a blasphemy.

As we say in Spanish, opinions are like asses, everybody has one. However we tend to agree (without thinking) when our favourite radiodj, website or friend gives us a trustworthy recommendation or late discovery.

Personally I use a varied number of sources …

1)    Residentadvisor: very clubby

2)    Discogs: The database

3)    Codamagazine (French) fairly objective & professional

4)    Electronicbeats: commercial but delicately chosen

5)    Beatsinspace: our weekly radio show

6)   …

Other universal sites where you may find more easy-listening (but still quality) artists: Pitchfork, Lesinrocks (French.. they’ve lost their objectivity), Rcrdlbl, Iguessimfloating, thehypemachine…

You also have some records which have “traditionally” released nice stuff, like… K7, Katapult, Haywire, Kompakt, Astralwekrs,…..

You’ll probably see I have a specific taste. Don’t hate me is just what my friends taught me.

Please enrich this list :)

See you @ Rennes

added value…

    • Whim: door for kids
      09/09/2010 | 3:39 pm

      Small door, big world… if you have kids you may consider this … an interior door with an integrated small door for children! An idea that Jjoo design (German studio from Karlsruhe) have started to commercialize under the Minjjoo brand…

      We just discovered this morning Bird Box Studio‘s works (who collaborate with the BBC in their comedy channel) and we completely agree with the guys from Headless Productions … our favorite animation technique is 2D… even though the trend is 3D right now….

      Victo is Victoria but her real name is Ngai Chuen Ching. She got her English name, Victoria, when she was in a British kindergarten and as Ngai Chuen Ching was too hard to pronounce for the foreign teachers and Victoria to weird for her Chinese classmates they all started calling her just “Victo”…

      We didn’t see this one coming, and you’ll have to admit big G (after licking their wounds & releasing a customized homepage in early June) do not want Bing to get anywhere near their search hegemony…

      Most of you probably know Yann Tiersen only from Amelie’s soundtrack, but he’s about to release his 6th album “Dust Lane” next month, and we honestly can’t wait until October 4th (12th for USA, sorry)….
