Electronic France

France is home to many world renowned electronic music artists such as Justice, Yelle, Digitalism, Télépopmusic and the legendary Daft Punk. 

Another day of bouncing around iTunes recommendations led me to Chateau Flight of Versatile Records.  The duo comprised of Gilbert Cohen aka Gilb’R and I:Cube have been producing music together since the mid-90's.

"Their Chateau Flight journey according to I:Cube follows 'no system, [has] no formula, [and is] always a bit different…' Not the worst take if you want yourself and your listeners kept on your toes. Continuously playing versatile DJ sets from Brooklyn to Bombay and back again, you can catch [them] playing heavy techno and house sets as often as free-spirited dance music affairs...According to music journalist wisdom, Gilb’r is simply what they call a DJ’s DJ."

Ed Banger Artists

French artist Breakbot of Ed Banger Records is featured on a new album released last month titled Let the Children Techno (Compiled and mixed by Busy P and DJ Mehdi).  The track is kind of a throwback with a chill funky groove-just the perfect kind of music to ring in the spring.  Since he just released an album last year, it will probably be several months before we see another one-hopefully he's got some more projects in the works for the near future.

Breakbot is currently touring around Europe and has a couple shows scheduled for Japan but no U.S. plans in the near future. It has been over a year since he last appeared at Terminal 5 with Justice, who is also in the works of producing a new album since mid-2010.  They set the bar pretty high with the release of Cross in 2007 and have fan base anxiously awaiting the arrival of some new tracks, but for the meantime....
