Feist "Honey Honey"

Aeroplane x Grace Jones

Oh, my...

Grace Jones "William's Blood (Aeroplane Remix)"

I've read on Discobelle that remix was rejected by the label with no reason.
They will regret about that!

Prime Suspect "Bang!"

American artist Ariel and German electronic music producer Jan Muller have joined forces to produce the criminal sounds of Prime Suspect. With a blend art pop disco, industrial techno, new wave, electro, go go punk and live vocals this duo creates a distinctive, futuristic hybrid of dance. The compelling mix of electronic punk features both Jan and Ariel's emotive vocals, adding a taste of yesterdays anarchist sarcastic flavor but never interferes with the music. Jan as progammer and composer uses as many analogue sounds as possible, bringing musicians into the studio and creating a virtual band. Featured on various tracks on "Bang!" is the guitar mastership of the legendary east bay Ray of The Dead Kennedys. Supporting members are Johann Bley on drums (ex member of KMFDM and Juno Reactor) and Jasper Scholtz (bass guitar and vocals).

"Bang!" is out today, released by Nachtstrom Schallplatten.

Jazzanova presents "Secret Love 5"

"With the release of the Secret Love compilation series Sonar Kollektiv have succeeded in encapsulating this spirit shared among friends and fans of the label and in delivering a very personal vision of what soul-folk music is. And given the success of the previous volumes of Secret Love with more than 30.000 copies sold, JAZZANOVA faced something of a challenge in putting together this 5th issue in the series. Of course, expectations are high following the acclaim received by the previous four Secret Love compilations. But JAZZANOVA have hit the nail on the head yet again this time with another delightfully diverse compilation rich in some of the best new soul-folk around."

Agoria "Go Fast"

An album. To 'Go Fast', because that's its title. With a composer who also goes very fast, often.
A composer who is also a DJ. A DJ who goes around the world to make it dance by mixing his three turntables, fast. Often.
The speed that scratches at the faces so harsh that it disfigures them also possesses a few virtues. Amongst which that of putting every creator in a state of ultimate trance to bring a project to the top. Often.

The most difficult being to do something well and fast. Going fast to attain one's mission can become perilous. Go Fast is hence the title of Olivier Van Hoofstadt's movie. The flick that should give the French thriller genre a brand new energy and a top speed almost capable of breaking the wall of sound.

The sound here is Agoria's, the luminous prodigy of the French electronic scene is capable of teletransporting dozens of thousands of clubbers in a state of ultimate joy that gives them feet of wind.
This same DJ composed and produced the two albums that are necessary and indispensable for any proper immersion in the complex heart of electronic music. 'Blossom' in 2003 (with the classics La 11ème Marche, Spinach Girl) and 'Green Armchair' (including Code 1026, Europa and Les Violons Ivres) in 2006 have hardened the Lyon born musician who found himself glorified with the greatest awards: Best DJ with Laurent Garnier in 2004, Best Album for France Inter in 2006, most startling ambassador DJ for the Lyon Nuits Sonores, an award that he reaped once again this year at the term of a 7-hour battle with big brother Laurent Garnier.
All 15000 dancers who attended came out worn out and shattered by the intimate, abrasive dialogue between the two giants of the electronic planet who invented the language of turntables.

All this does tend to give a taste for speed. Agoria does remain a discreet person. Indeed, when we first met him on the occasion of the Nuits Sonores, he failed to tell us that he was working on a project for an original score for a film co-produced by Luc Besson.

This action movie focuses on these famous 'Go Fasters', the automobile pilots with a fury for ultra-powerful, armed convoys who transport over a ton of hashish at 200 km/hour or more on the European motorways, with an aim of outsmarting the police forces. It just so happens that producers Emmanuel Prévost and Stéphane Lecomte listened to Agoria's album 'The Green Armchair' completely by chance. They were soon to fall head over heels in love with the album, and decided to synchronise two scenes of the film with tracks 'Code 1026' and 'Europa'. Agoria asks to see the scenes. Soon, he enjoys it so much that he is asked to compose the entire score for the film. Apparently, imagining music over images is a job in itself.

Agoria soon realises this when someone tells him. But it does not deter him as he tools to compose another album, which could naturally become his third, simply inspired from the images and the scenario of 'Go Fast'.
