yo. With the advent of this blog and it being called “WAVESatNIGHT”, I find it only fitting that we pay our respects to the less appreciated half of Daft Punk and his label. Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo set up Crydamoure Records with Eric Chedeville under the moniker of “Le Knight Club” and released some quality tracks not only by Le Knight Club, but by Archigram, Paul Johnson and DJ Sneak.
In 2003, the artists on the Crydamoure label joined to co-produce the 12” “If You Give Me The Love I Want”. The track here, found on this release, is funkier than Sly Stone’s hairdo.
The Crydamoure Waves compilations encompassed the whole catalogue of the label’s releases and are more than a worthy addition to one’s music collection. If you can find it, you’d be dumber than your average footballer not to buy it. Compared to the all conquering solo releases by Thomas Bangalter with his Stardust and Together side projects, Le Knight Club is quite understated indeed. The “french touch” scene owes a lot to this label…and for this, unfresh raises the fist.
