For a long time, Jay Alansky has always had within him the complete music culture, from decadent folk to pre-punk. His Balearic House project 'A Reminiscent Drive' was electro reinvented without samples or computers, by hijacking Burt Bacharach and/or The Residents. Enriched with modal mutations, down-sampled drums and creeping tempos, created prophetic electronics by tapping into a giant jukebox, which served as its brain. Otherwise, simply caught up in the emotion, oblivious to references and obsessions.

(Technasia remix) Limited edition remastered, originally released on F Communications 1998.

Andreas Köhler studied cello and piano at Musikhochschule Karlsruhe and at Musikhochschule Basel. He experiments extensively from a soft base on the cello, for example, in the composition of the short elementary symphony. Then came a time for other musical experiences, alongside his formal training, experimenting with digital recordings, composition and arrangement skills. Sound Of K digs into the idea that the computer is to be treated as an instrument.

Limited edition remastered, originally released on F Communications 2004. A beautiful release for the French label here provided by a man that very rarely puts a foot wrong. - RA review (4.5/5)


The brilliant Jori Hulkkonen returns to the French based F Communications to help the label celebrate 10 years in this volatile industry by gracing them with 2 original productions of his own in his A Letter From Cardassia EP. Expect trademark quality house that Jori has become famously known for in his years of producing.

First up on the EP is Fermi Paradox. Retro at its finest, the track features some very nice crisp drum patterns and a bouncy baseline to get very excited about. As the track builds, the baseline forms into a bouncing retro synths, accompanies by fantastically produced drums and percussion. Funky house with a electro and techy edge, it really must be heard to understand the appeal!

On the flip is the Live Version of 7 Strange, 7 Faith. The beats are quirky, and the baselines bouncy in this production that is just as impressive as the tasty a-side. A brilliant groove is created by the low end sounds, and also by the beautiful string patterns that ride the track for the majority of the record. A quirky vocal line doesn’t harm its allure in a track that increases in emotion as it progresses.

A beautiful release for the French label here provided by a man that very rarely puts a foot wrong.

Those who have followed Laurent Garnier for a long time know, to what point, how multipurpose this artist is and how his status as "best DJ in the world" is only a shortcut used by default. It must reemphasised that this man has been gifted with an extraordinary sense of combat, and that he has been fighting for many years to impose good music onto the public. Laurent Garnier has always refused chapels and privileged actions; he does not support repetition, even less compromises, and certainly no downtime.

(Limited edition, remastered) This story is a very personal reflection of our lives: our emotions, our feelings, our hopes, our ambitions are transparent. The best way to have a speech as universal as possible is to manage to remain deeply yourself. Some experience on the stage taught us never cheat with the public: the truth is an exchange. This is the uncompromising credo of The Youngters!

INFO

A free and unconstrained expression – permanent and cutting-edge creativity - complex and amazing personality, Mr Oizo is always where you don't expect him. On the popular peaks and in the depths of the avant-garde, he counts his fans as well as his sceptics with its sounds and images of surprise, destabilizing and disturbing.
In his universe, neutrality does not exist. The bridges, and bridges between sound, image and writing are perpetually destroyed to be reinvented.
