Mr Oizo – Positif

A totally solid record by Mr. Oizo has got my attention (or lack thereof) for every one of these short songs on “Lambs Anger”. While most of the songs are based around a tight hook and that alone, experimentation keeps it fun and listenable but at the same time acknowledging that song is based around one riff therein; keeping it short and to the point. I compare it to a 45 minute meandering of the French nightclub radio stations (see the moments of jumpy skippyness between songs). My choice select is “Positif”. Get the rest of the album “ici” (a steal for 18 songs at $6.99).

Pony Pony Run Run – Walking on a Line (Lifelike Remix)

The quality of French powerpop and electro always leaves me wondering – what the hell do they put in the water? This track begs you to break out your oversized headphones and skip down the street like some kind of lovestruck fool on amphetamines. I have a feeling this one will get some serious work this summer.

Pony Pony Run Run and Lifelike all seem like pretty chill dudes.

F – Perspectives

Last month, dubstep label 7even dropped French producer F’s ridiculous debut LP Energy Distortion. As my friend Jason pointed out, “a dubstep album so good even the New York Times reviewed it.” The track “Perspectives” is a moody trip through the realm of Detroit-flavored, garage-tinged dub.

You can buy the LP here on Boomkat.

Alan Braxe & Fred Falke – Love Lost

This past weekend a good friend of mine started bumping The Upper Cuts, a 2005 compilation put out by French producer Alan Braxe. Immediately I was floored – why hadn’t I heard this before? I sweat this style of classic house big time. Better late than never, and long live the low-pass filter sweep…
