Feel my Bicep

Extra dry cured bacon beats from one of the men behind Daft Punk. Nasty old school French techno that woulda been right up Carl cox’s street back na’ day! 
This tune actually also featured in the film ‘Irreversible’ mentioned earlier this week.

The standout track from the awesome Triplets Of Belleville (or Belleville Rendez-Vous as its also called) soundtrack composed by Ben Charest, himself a jazz guitarist. If you haven’t already seen this film, get it. In fact all of Sylvain Chomet’s stuff is addictively weird and extremely special, an all time great animator. His new film, L’Illusioniste is due sometime soon. Anyhow this track is an absolute jiggin’ bomb.

Ben Charest – Belleville Rendez-Vous [English Version]

Found this french 70’s space rock band earlier. They’ve got some cool synth-rich tracks and even a robotic vocoder cover of the Canned Heat classic ”On the road again”.
Galactic sleaze!

Great record here, sounds like it was made some 30 or 40 years ago. It’s tasty stuff in the vein of Human League, James White and the Blacks.
Included is both the chateau flight remix and a slightly more stripped back bones edit. The Original is still the country fair cup’cake winner.
