Il y a des EPs qui vous marquent. C’est comme ça. Le dernier de Lifelike entre dans cette catégorie. En version normale ou en version Club, l’écoute est toujours plaisante. C’est encore mieux que certains de ses remixes et de son dernier tube So Electric.

Lifelike / Yota / Namebrand - Love Emulator (Club Mix)

Lifelike recently launched his label, Computer Science, and kicked things off with the Love Emulator EP- out today. Check out these previews- ’cause when it comes to synth-driven goodness, Lifelike is the best o’ the best.

And for good measure, here’s his stellar rework of Pony Pony Run Run wonderful “Walking On A Line”- I always love Lifelike’s remixes.

Pony Pony Run Run – Walking On A Line (Lifelike Remix)

whoops, little late on this one..

So with very little time in the run up to Creamfields our friend and lover Moonchild (disco-bro, did some mixes and that track ‘girl’, notably funky) had a phoner with over-all french producer dude-person Lifelike (just pretend this was 4 weeks ago).

A weeks ago i had the pleasure of speaking to Lifelike right before he began touring all around Europe again. I’m surprised at how down to earth and chill Laurent Ash was throughout the 45-minute phone call. We spoke about baguettes among other, more important, things. Here are the highlights of this conversation.

Last year was the first time that Australia welcomed Lifelike on its soil. The artist claimed that he really enjoyed it here, describing the Australian scene to be a lot more relaxed and calm compared to Europe. (Which surprised me to be honest, you Australians are party monsters.) A year later, he comes back to us eagerly as the only Disco/French house act to be headlining Creamfields alongside The Bloody Beetroots, Steve Angello and MSTRKRFT. Fear not, if you can’t make it to Creamfields, he will also be doing a few sideshows around Australia, which you can scope on his myspace.

When asked what current artists inspire him, Lifelike said he was really digging the sounds of In Flagranti, The XX and even what The Bloody Beetroots have been doing recently with their new DC77 live act. Lifelike will also be trying out something different for this tour, adding a brand new LIVE aspect to his show. I was told to expect hearing a lot more Lifelike prods.

Finally, Lifelike shed some light on his new forthcoming release coming out on his own label “Computer Science” in May/June. The release will include 2 brand new original Lifelike tracks “Silicon Valley” and “Love Emulator” and will only be available digitally. Looks like vinyl collectors are gonna miss out on this one!

Moonchild.

Rad, only confirmed the overall bro status of lifelike!

Pony Pony Run Run had the best idea to help promote there new release, You Need Pony Pony Run Run. They had their lead single remixed by a ton of the hottest names in the scene and then gave it away for free. The track “Walking On a Line” features remixes from French Fries, Highbloo, Mikix The Cat, Raziek, Beataucue, Lifelike, Blata & Inesha, The Subs, and Surfing Leon. There’s something for everyone on the remix collection, from raved-up electro house to accordion-fueled booty beats to popped up dubstep to… Well, you get the idea. I picked out my favorites, but if you want the rest of the release, head over to the bands website. The full-length record will be released June 15th.

yet again france has to go ahead and re-establish its grip on the indie dance scene. greedy, i say… almost not fair. nor is it fair to be completely crushed over a tune and find yourself easily falling to the merciless temptation of playing out a track until you’re totally sick of it… so far i’m on day 3

on the quest for musical conquest comes the french power pop/indie outfit pony pony run run as they push their latest single ‘walking on a line’ off of the label 3ème bureau. along with ‘walking on a line’ is a remix of legendary status by none other than the french house champion lifelike himself. this has got to be my favorite of 2010 as of yet

now this isn’t the usual lifelike makeover we have here… this is more like the perfect gateway tune for those appreciative of the indie pop rock sound but unable to handle it raw. what we have here is a high-octane cocktail of energetically charged, dreamlike melodies dancing to a fit beat and whispy, angelic vocals. that kind of gig… a real trip, the real deal. atmospheric. airy. ultimate indie dance interpretation. EPIC. only so many tunes sport such a surrealistic nature to them — this is one of ‘em

specially included is the extended mix if you’re a dj or just can’t get enough of the radio edit. also notable to mention is the walking on a line remix contest 3ème is running in partnership with mxp4. selected by the band, the contest winner will receive one totally unopened box of bragging rights to be included in the pony pony run run digital release with a secured spot on the b-side, an autographed vinyl, and 2 tickets to any chosen tour date. the contest runs until april 26^th – so hurry up and inch in all you last minute speed producers

grab your 320 of walking on a line and get at pprr via myspace to check the original mix and music video coupled with it.

Chez 3ème Bureau, on fourmille de bonnes idées. Quand on connaît la bande de geeks qui se cache derrière, on ne s’en étonnera pas. Ces joyeux lurons savent exploiter au maximum les nouvelles possibilités de l’internet. Ils ont, entre autre, popularisé le lecteur mxp4. Autant vous dire que du moment que la 3G passe, ça tweet/facebook à fond les ballons. A l’occasion de la nomination de Pony Pony Run Run aux Victoires la musique 2010, le label a multiplié les opé : un beau clip, un concours de remix allongé exceptionnellement jusqu’au 26 avril, un concours Pony Pony Run Run en concert… chez moi. Une série de remix officiels a été lancée : Blatta & Inesha, Beataucue, Rafale, MiKiX The Cat, Lifelike, French Fries, Raziek, High Bloo, The Subs, Surfing Leons… On inaugure.

Maintenant que Pony Pony Run Run a gagné son trophée, on peut à juste titre dire que ce fut payant ! Donc pour la peine, champagne et on fait péter le second remix par deux blancs-becs qu’on vient tout juste de booker pour une soirée Boule à Facettes.
