On the innanetz and in various towns, large and small, gentlemen and ladies alike are going ape shit over all the Ed Banger records music, justice, sebastian, uffie. Some of the music is awfully corny, like that raunchy 20-year old minx Uffie vocoding over Kenny G loops, I guess it's suppose to be ironic or whatever...the best stuff are the old glitch induced disco re-edits, but damn, girls are having seizures over these sausage toons. "THIS IS UFFIE AND I'M-I'M-I'M-I'M READY TO FUCK"

Girls learn how to be trashy and master the skin flute with the help of her lyrics and concepts...I don't mind, she's a novelty, a hot one at that.Does anyone seriously bump this music? or do you listen because you find it ironic to listen to other peoples music based on the irony of their own pretentious meatholes.YEAH SAHN!

It's exciting fresh music aimed at the dancefloor.
Enough with the bashing of ironic caucasian hipsters.

"i LOVE IRONY lol i lisenm'd to theis new record (yes it on VYNEL!!) of sharen jons and the Dappkings lol it sounded like a MOTWONO ROCORD! IRONIC"


id love to never hear the word "ironic" be used to describe something again. its like if anybody on here dislikes something, and then ties it in with "hipsters" its immediately "ironic" therefore "elitist" and "bad" since they dont "get it". this french dance stuff is just plain good solid danceable music, and one of the first really "popular" music crazes ive been very ok with in a LONG time.

plus it seems kinda late to even be talking about this, its definitely not a "new" phenomenon...
 
hmmm. I think there is merit. I like the french "second wave" much much less than when the original french touch thing came through in the mid to late nineties. daft punk and super discount and all that. It was more traditional house music but made with chunky samples and 12 bit samples.. a bit off kilter. I bought it all.

This stuff is post-electro clash post-2manydjs and it you can tell.. it has more of a rock element, it caters to the "dirty electro rock" heads (ie 9/10s of europe not already hooked on the "minimal" of villalobos et al).. and i find it less straight up, more "pseudo ironic cool", maybe a bit less fresh and fun, than your daft punks etc.

plus they use the supatrigga plugin on every fuckin track, which i think is cheap.

If you haven't heard the jackson & his computer band remix of "D.A.N.C.E" you should check it, however. Epic. I really like that one.

Also the Sebastien remix of "killing in the name of" will make you laugh.

peace
 
Everything Pedro Winter (Ed banger boss and daft punk manager) is touching instantly turns to gold. The man is a genius. Live with this.

The funny thing is Mr flash from Ed banger is a rare groove collector. He even probably already post in here.
 
Dj Mehdi obviously is french hip hop royalty

nice cortex special on the french attack site by the way.
 
I really like that justice record.

Word.

What's wrong with music that makes hot chicks dance?


I'm not seeing your so called irony connection since there is no culture that this music is trying to be that it's not.

Shit is dope.
 
It's kind of like ginger beer and that one bar in Los Angeles, what was it in the fifties? Well the story goes that they had all this ginger beer laying around and didn't know what to do with it, so they added a little (maybe a lot) of vodka, and it became a pretty popular beverage, the Moscow Mule.

It's pretty much the same phenomenom -- they had a bunch of old French records and a ton of leftover filtered house records from the late-1990s and decided to mix in a little vodka. Much to the delight of the DJs, the ladies liked it.
 
I love a lot of this stuff.
It kills at parties and in the clubs especially dropped at the right time.

The bad thing is the 12"s cost about $12 a pop (in the US).

The good thing is you can get most of it off Hype Machine (if you're rockin a dildo):

I was a big fan of the Daft Punk/Super Discount/Cassius/1st Wave? French touch genre, so I really looked forward to the Justice debut CD. I couldn't get past 2 full listenings of the album...thought it lacked melody and "the funk" present in the best Daft Punk-styled material. Color me

I'm not sure if this is the kind of music we're talking about, but I kinda like it:
