French Friday is back and it is indeed a mighty fine evening to re-launch the sucker.

Le Knight Club is made up of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Eric Chedeville. Guy-Man is of course 1/2 of Daft Punk and Eric aka. Rico the Wizzard is a co-founder of Pumpking Records (more on Rico with his new work on the Darling label can be read here and the bottom of here).

These two close friends started up the raddest, bad-ass French house Crydamoure record label back in 1997. This label screams the classic French filtered sound and it should NEVER be forgotton. It featured everyone from the Buffalo Bunch to DJ Sneak.

Le Knight Club had numerous releases on Crydamoure, around 9 quality 12″s. I’ve put up a nice spread of their work and also remixes they have done in the past. I really can’t express my love them. Bisous!

Well, it has been a while since I’ve posted anything on this blog. The start of the exam period last year to be exact. A lot has gone on in the world of music during my blogging hiatus, including me going to the greatest musical show inspired by Jean Michel Jarre in the history of the world. Not much of the new stuff out there has really tickled my fancy. I’m a huge fan of the Peter Gabriel meets Giorgio Moroder love fest that is “Sexuality” by Sebastien Tellier, to name a few. The quality of the release isn’t surprising when you look at who manned the production boards (Eric Chedeville, Romain Tranchard from Modjo fame and one Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo). If you haven’t bought it yet there’s something wrong with you.

Back on topic. Something as rad as French Friday was the only thing that would bring me back. What better way to come back than to have a special on The Buffalo Bunch. Recently, Guy-Man’s little brother Paul has received praise for his release “I Thought That” under the name of The Migrants, but today we’re kicking it back to the old school.

I’ve already shown love to the Crydamoure label before on this blog, but I just can’t help myself. Paul’s releases with Raw Man (Romain Seo) as The Buffalo Bunch releases on Crydamoure and Scratché are top notch. Their remix work of pretty much the who’s who of French music at the time, also hits the spot.

In an ideal world, the two get back together. Fusing Raw Man’s love for metal (he’s in a band called Amen Birdman at the moment. yeah.) and Play Paul’s obsession with the Blade Runner soundtrack…it’s pretty lethal. Alas, some things are just not meant to be. Doesn’t mean we can’t get down to their tracks, though. Enjoy!
