After four years and 20 releases from La Vie En Rose, Terence :Terry: delivers his second solo EP on his own label.The Paris maestro, who is currently based in Madrid, has been hard at work in the studio to produce this brand new three-tracker entitled ‘Coney Island’ and all three tracks work as a perfect representation of his deep, sultry and hypnotic sound. ‘Zipolite’ gets things off to a typically groovy start, with snappy percussion and a robotic vocal ….. the intro. It’s not long before a mesmerising bassline creeps in and Terence uses numerous effects to create depth and atmosphere. Strange voices lurk in the background and bright pads swirl around the top line. As the track progresses more layers suck you deeper into the abyss. Up next we have ‘Nugati’, a chilled trip into dreamland. Throughout the track, a high-pitched, twinkling melody creates an air of mystery, while its deadly b-line does a seductive dance with the cutting percussion. This one strikes a great balance between sweetness and raw groove. Last up, we have the title track ‘Coney Island’, which works around hard-hitting hats and claps. Thick, solid bass rubs up against smooth pads and cosmic bleeps – while hip-hop vocal clips drop in every few bars to add that all-important hook. Like the other two tracks on this EP, ‘Coney Island’ progresses in a subtle and engrossing manner, keeping you hooked all the way until the end. Terence :Terry: has got the funk no doubt, and this EP is a testament to more than 20 years spent on the road, in the studio and in the club. Wicked vibes.

La Vie En Rose commences its 2016 campaign with a tight little package from the delirious Ibiza dwelling duo, Acid Mondays. The British lads are well known for their ability to concoct deadly dance floor weaponary for labels such as Rumors, Illusion, One Records and 2020Vision among others and now they’re back on the French label with two hot new tracks plus a remix from Greek grafter John Dimas. Lead track ‘Garaldo’ is a heady stepper with warped, galactic vocal snippets, glowing FX and a killer bassline. Coming in at just over 10 minutes, it’s a trip into the deepest recesses of Acid Mondays cosmic craniums. Lola ED family member John Dimas weighs in with his reinterpretation of ‘Garaldo’, putting the original on a diet and cultivating a slimline, though equally effective version of the track. His delicate use of twinkling melodies, barely there vocals and skippy percussion gives us a whole new piece of music, which is wonderfully restrained.On the flip, ‘Machette’ lives up to its name, with the percussion slicing and dicing its way through a gnarly bassline and bubbling toms. As the track progresses, the pace picks up and we’re gripped by its superglue-esque groove. A trippy breakdown around the five-minute mark is the icing on the cake. SupeR

During the rave explosion in Paris, beginning of the 90s, ravers & different kinds of people started to go out in big warehouse on the outskirts of the city. DJs from USA (Detroit, Chicago, New York) and European DJs (Italy, Holland, Germany) were playing together. Something new was happening and from all these tendencies, another kind of house was born. We called it “Progressive”. As Guillaume La Tortue, Jerome Pacman and Armand to name a few (truly the best Parisians DJs at that time), Sonic aka Jean-Charles Rousselle was a messenger from this period, educated by Producers & DJs likeDerrick May, Eddie Flashin Fowlkes, Francesco Farfa, Miki, Roby Jay, Baby ford, Joey Beltram or Lenny Dee. Sonic quickly became a key component of the Parisian electronic underground, playing in the biggest events in France and beyond. He started his own label Omnisonus in 1993 with the first release being produced by Jerome Pacman “China Shika & A Voice Spoke To Me”. As it received such acclaim from so many, we decided to repress this legendary EP from Sonic “Q.Bick & The Game” played recently by Ricardo Villalobos, Rhadoo, Nicolas Lutz, Raresh among others ..This two-track EP was truly the future house of the 90s : “Q.Bick (Excursion Mix)” has classic house rhythms, with shorts pads that really captivate, reminding us of the atmosphere of today. The strong bass line that comes at the middle of the track creates a feeling of future & mystery. Following this, a kind of harmony made with an acid bassline & weird voices results in something new & industrial, definitely a French approach! “The Game (Minimal Mix)” was more of a ‘peak hour’ track at that time, that now we might call tech house. It starts with a sample from Touché Records (Dobre & Jamez label), then utilises a heavy bassy beat. A simple yet effective loop that will grip you, helped by some samples taken from the Martin Luther King speech in Washington 1963 “I Have A Dream”. We are so happy to repress this legendary EP from such a period of happiness and madness that we had in Paris We send love to Jean-Charles Rousselle aka Dj Sonic… thanks for trusting La Vie En Rose.

Having spent three years tirelessly growing the La Vie En Rose label from strength to strength, championing avant-garde House music and helping launch the careers of fresh new talent, label boss Terence:Terry: now steps forward with a string of his own works. Inspired by his blossoming collective and following his recent remix of Marcos Baiano on LVR015, ‘Acid Heroes’ EP contains three original Terry productions truly for the club.The title track enters in strong punchy form, concocting deep industrial vibes and sinister vocals that echo into the darkness, until, half way through, it takes a more upbeat turn, lifted by reverberating synth chords. ‘Cliché’ slaps a little harder with a pounding bass and clashing symbols, before warming up with female wails and woos. A short, sharp taste of chord jabs and the journey builds up to what seems like the climatic futuristic ending, before melting into softer territory and a much welcomed infectious kick, for that last lease of life. Rounding off with the murky, splashing number ‘Testing The Water’, deep keys and the expert layering of techno effects equals a sublime underground House track, most certain to arouse the dancefloor.‘Acid Heroes’ is served as the perfect appetiser to get you salivating before ‘House Couture’; the first compilation from Terence:Terry: on LVR, mixing producers past and present, as well as a handful of unreleased future-gems to come on the label.
