These days I’m finding that electronic music is just getting louder and noisier, to the point where you just can’t find its groove. Well it’s seems that a very talented 17 year old from the UK is trying to redeem that lost house groove, that we all grew up with, under his alias Louis La Roché. There was a little confusion when Louis first demo’d his track ‘Love’ on the net, fellow bloggers were convinced that it was a new track from none other than Thomas Bangalter, which, to me, could only be the biggest compliment you could receive towards your own music.
La Roché has just released his debut EP, Peach, online for all to enjoy for free from his myspace, www.myspace.com/louislaroche. It contains five amazing cuts of the purest house music, drawing inspiration from the old Motown sound through to the disco beats of (early) Michael Jackson and Daft Punk.
Louis also goes under the other alias of Night Facilities, where he is producing more of his own music, slightly different from that of his other project but with the same intention of retaining that groove. You can also download a collection of his amazing remixes, again for free, from his ’space’.
Keep an ear out for this up and coming talent, because i’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more from him in the near future…
Well, I thought now where on hype machine were getting a few more hits than we used to. Most of you reading wouldn’t have been around the grab some of the older tracks that I quite liked. Well here’s the re-post (if Hyperbole can regurgitate, so can I). Theres a few older songs you may have missed and a few classics.
If this doesn’t get you excited, nothing will. At this current moment it is the 10th of December, T minus 4 days til Daft Punk (the Friday show here in sunny Melbourne). This is what it all comes down to. My entire life has just been a large scale preparation for this day. Ok, maybe Im a little bit fanatical, but who cares. This sort of thing only happens once in a lifetime. Oh, and I just scored free tickets to ‘Daft Punk is screening at our house’, which should be playing around the country. Its basically all DP’s video content (clips, electroma, Interstellar 5555, etc) over two nights. Thats something to do I guess. So theres not much I can offer you music wise that you probably wont have. They’re not the most productive robots in the world. But just in case, heres a few little tidbits. The DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter track is the source of those vocals in the encore above. Theres a Daft Punk remix and a little Bangalter track from a while back. Pops up in the Digitalism essential mix. Enjoy, I know I will.
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.
