FRENCH FRIDAY: LE KNIGHT CLUB

FRENCH FRIDAY: LE KNIGHT CLUB

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 at 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!

ONE FULL YEAR

It has been exactly one year since JD and I started this blog. I was actually looking around lastweek for some backed up MSN logs of when JD and I discussed music blogs (which lead to us starting this humble little blog). Little did we know that our idea would actually hit off into something magical! Where has the time gone? Something that started so small, yet has now matured into something so beautiful - I’m shellshocked. Happy Birthday Waves. For the team, I thank you people, the readers out there, for coming back to this blog for tunes, news, watevs; it’s why I and the rest of us here do what we do. Thankyou again.

We will keep bringing you the sounds that crash to shore, to wash over you at night…. through another year!

love,
PATCH

Who’s next?

New Surkin “Next of Kin” out on Institubes 07/04/2008. Some may say his style has changed but I believe the ‘Surkin’ feel is still there and to be frank, I’m a huge fan. Todd Edwards comes back with another dope remix, giving the self-titled track a more “french-house” feel. I’m also quite glad he is giving more attention to today’s artists (Klaxons and Justice for example) because his work is simply amazing. If you don’t believe me have a look for his remixes of Benjamin Diamond’s “Little Scare” and also Zoot Woman’s “Taken It All”. Look out on Arcade Mode for “Next of Kin”, this release will pop around very soon.
