Yeah. It’s Anzac Day and I’m giving props to Frenchies. Well with the news that We Love Sounds is going have Cassius as part of its line-up, along with Mr. Oizo, !!!, Lindstrom (yeahboyz!), The Whip and a Marina-less Bonde do Role, it looks like OneLove have actually done something right. Now for them not to let fluoro kids in their shindigs. My big up to Gallic kids this week is in relation to this, so Philippe Zdar is the man of the hour.
Apart from being uber-producer extraordinaire to artists like MC Solaar, Chromeo and our very own (as in Melbourne) Cut Copy, Mr. Philippe Cerboneschi has produced some tremendous work of his own. In the mid 90’s, his work with Etienne de Crécy under the name of Motorbass was as slammin’ house as slammin’ house could get, but there was still that touch of funk, most notably on the ‘Around the World’ remix.
After meeting Boom Bass whilst producing Solaar’s album, they formed the group Le Funk Mob, which then went on to be Cassius. There is not a week where I don’t listen to 1999. I simply love it. Their body of work over the years has always had that certain sense of now, along with some hip-hop roots.
Not surprising…they love Flavour Flav. Enjoy.

Nous sommes ravis que cela vous plaise =)
Loving the French friday posts guys! But I must say, i think you should leave the image design to whoever did this site. Bevel/emboss + gradient + drop shadow = every photoshop cliche possible. Makes the site look a bit odd. Top tunes though.
yea, i totally agree. sick tunes and remixes always, but i’m feel a bit ill with so many gradients and different (badd) fonts in one post.
stick to what your good at dudes i say.
zdars the man
i totally shirk responsibility for the image. i had a different one. handballing to patch on this one. cheers brother =)
Check Tacteel - L’hiver vous va si bien (Zdar A Bass Day remix)
One of the best tunes I’ve ever listened to.
Man, I only just got introduced to ‘La Ritournelle’ a couple of weeks back, but haven’t been able to stop listening to it ever since. Beautifully, beautifully done.
