That’s My Buddy Bambounou
07 30 2010
Drums! It’s all about the drums these days and French producer Bambounou knows all about’m. He’s clearly bridging the gaps in house and tech house with his tunes and while he’s very young in age, his beats sound like the work of a seasoned veteran. Just check out his debut release, Animism, it’s full of so many drums tightly woven together that it’s like a tropical workout. The EP includes 3 original tracks and remix work from LOL Boys & Teki Latex, French Fries, Art Nouveau, and Dre Skull. Probably the must-have record of the month.

Scion A/V x Sound Pellegrino
07 28 2010
Scion A/V teams up with Sound Pellegrino, one of the hottest and most consistent dance music labels around, for a compilation of what only be described as some serious heaters.
Scion A/V presents: Sound Pellegrino – Straight From The Spring (zip file, direct link)
“Sound Pellegrino’s former mystery man Gucci Vump is back again with another inventive (and kind of creepy) track. “Shashtilism” updates Gucci Vump’s first single “Sha, Shtil!” with an even bigger klezmer influence and crazy ratatatatatatatatat drums.
Bambounou turns up the tempo with “Abodan,” a kicking combination of tribal percussion, laser pings and the whirls of a spaceship taking off back to the beginning of civilization.
Probably the mellow cut on this collection, Para One gets remixed by LA’s LOL Boys, bringing in spacious synth lines and understated vocal percussion.
Bart B More & Harvard Bass’ “Listen to This” hits hard from jump street with a pounding bassline and militaristic drums. From there things only get more commanding as the cross-continental duo of Bart B More and Harvard Bass piles on monumental build-ups and cliffhanger breakdowns.
Out One’s “Altamont” is a chill but pulsing track with a glitchy beat and dinner bell shine. Out One is an old friend of the Institubes crew, previously working with them as a mixer and a video director, but only started producing his own music in 2009. Welcome to our iTunes playlists!
Finnish house duo Renaissance Man’s Sound Pellegrino release from 2009 get a soulful remix from Paris’ dOP who offer a classic 4/4 beat, spoken word vocals, smooth keyboards and a hypnotic breakdown. It comes directly from outerspace(d out).
For this compilation, Momma’s Boy (an alter ego of Paris producer Mikix the Cat) brings “Bot Band Concerto.” The track sounds like it’s name would suggest – a futuro dancefloor smacker played by an orchestra of robots, blipping and blopping through the night.
On “Next Novel,” Myd & Sam Tiba manage to incorporate traces of house, electro, minimal, dubstep and Baltimore club into their track with impeccable European sophistication. We’re not sure what the sampled vocals are saying, but we’re pretty sure it’s not “Harry Potters,” like we originally thought.”
Animism
07 26 2010
The “Animism EP” release from French producer/dj and member of the Youngunz crew – Bambounou – came out today and it’s a tropical storm ready to pulverize dancefloors on both sides of the Equator. The EP contains 3 original tracks + remixes from Teki Latex & LOL Boys, French Fries, Art Nouveau and Dre Skull. Thanks to the good people over at Mixpak, we can give you the track “Dogon” which albeit is not on the EP it’ll give a sweet taste of exactly what Bambounou is all about.
Romane

Encore une grosse sortie sur Sound Pellegrino. Un artiste de renommée international (Bart B more), des jeunes talents au remix (Rubix, French Fries…). Tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour avoir un EP de qualité. Les artistes tels que Bart B More et Rubix se sont adaptés avec brio au style Sound Pellegrino. Nous attendons avec impatience l’EP de Tekilatex sur son propre label.
