It's the Supersound

As the seasons are slowly shifting, the music follows suit.  Light and cheerful riffs are slowly paving the way for deeper disco sounds.  Sounds that will resonate throughout a nighttime hideout and keep the kids dancing.  Steel drums and synths are still there, just down-tempo and with a heavier groove.  Peel the paint off the walls and lets boogey.

“The waves ≠ raves consists of hand-picked gems that inspire us, tickling and tempting our creative juices. Some are old, some are new, but it is what we are listening to now. They are groovey, flowing, and sun-kissed just like that perfect wave. They are uplifting and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They sound the best with a babe in one hand, a cold brewski in the other, and the sand beneath your feet. Stay Dreamy.”

Pony Pony Run Run – Hey You by Sainted PR

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.

French electropopsters in Pony Pony Run Run, are returning after their superhit “Hey You” (which we’ve mentioned here on Discobelle in the past) and also their Victoire de la Musique (the French equivalent to a Grammy award) with new single “Walking On A Line”. The new track has remixes for miles, we’re glad to be able to give you these two remixes from two fresh French producers who have already begun to make some major noise. HighBloo and Raziek each gives you their take on the new single where Belgian youngin HighBloo stretches out the original version galavanting into more of that bouncy Dutchlike house territory and Montpellier bad boy Raziek transforms it with the help of hypnotic accordions into a Funana sounding tune.

BONUS: The Fluokids crew have the French Fries remix for download.

BONUS 2: They’re holding a remix contest with the people over at mxp4, it goes on until April 26th and the best remix selected by the band will win a b-side spot on the digital release + runner-up prizes such as signed vinyls, concert tickets, t-shirts, and stuff. Check this page for more info.

In my wrap-up of 2k9 post, I mentioned that you guys should be on the lookout for some brutal bass wobbles from some English dudes named JEUCE. Little did I know that they would come blazing out of the gates so fast. Crookers‘ new single ‘Remedy’ ft. Miike Snow is due out on March 3rd on Southern Fried Recs, but I’ve got a rather large preview to share with you that could very well tear the skin off your freckly face. Also, keep an eye out for Jeuce’s new single ‘Flavour’ that will be released this April, and go peep their new site Get Hype Collective

Je les ai découvert l’été dernier en première partie de Pony Pony Run Run, leurs amis (en passant, ils sont nominés aux victoires de la musique donc allez voter pour eux !). Sur disque, j’ai de quoi être perplexe sur la portée de SayCet : leur musique expérimentale, ce que certains appellent IDM, pourrait en rebuter plus d’un. Et pourtant en live, on est totalement porté par l’émotion d’un schéma pop atypique dans la forme. A coups de nappes retentissant comme des echos en nous, la musique composée par Pierre Lefeuvre mêle puissance et douceur grâce à une texture et une sobriété que tout unit. La voix feutrée de Phoene Somsavath et le ballet d’images, de lumières et de couleurs contrôlé par Zita Cochet éveillent un niveau sensoriel supplémentaire. J’en suis sorti tout chose. Un conseil : allez les voir en live puis acheter l’album mais pas l’inverse.

One of the reasons (honestly, there are many!) there have been fewer posts is because a mate and I started a weekly. (LOTEK and MANALOGUE have been tag-teaming as THE SHAKE for a few years now.) I feel as though I’m only putting in half the amount of time needed to get this night off the ground, but that’s all I can give at the moment considering other commitments that are a bit more pressing, paying the mortgage for example. If you’re wondering, blogging doesn’t really make any money, well I haven’t figured out exactly how to do it anyway. (Tips are welcome.)

Back to the post. This week I’m pumped to host JAMALL KNIGHT and BERBS. Winnipeg is saturated with djs, and I’d be hard pressed to find any jock in this city I like more than the former. Perhaps it’s because Jamall Knight plays like I/we do – which is a bit all over the place, and every time I’ve seen him behind the decks he consistently drifts to the likes of Proxy, and other noisy producers. Also, big thanks to our freshly minted vj, MRGHOSTY who gives everyone something interesting to look at when they’re dancing or not. This guy’s incredible. I’m totally looking forward to tomorrow!

Like every week though, I have no idea what I’ll lay down but perhaps it might include a schmorasborg like the one below.
