Motorbass

French House-music band (Phillipe Zdar and Etienne de Crecy), which released only one album, but THE album. It was the first so-called French Touch album, which gave a great impulse to the elegant housy revival of the best of disco, mixed with hip-hop (no lyrics or so few), with an impressive quality of sound, combined with very fine inspiration. Check it !

"Flying Fingers" was the first's Motorbass title i've heard. It was weird to hear hiphop's scratches on a techno-kind-of-music, the groove was possessing me, so I directly bought the cd. I still cherish it, I can't say so about all the records i've bought in this kind of music.

Cassius

French House band, of a rare quality.
First album "1999" from the same year, you will be amazed by the quality of their productions.
Second album is fine too. Check the hit single " The sound of violence".

Wow, you know that band called Motorbass, which released the first's French Touch 's album (Pansoul - 1996) ? Well, they're back with their new project : Cassius ! Damn, if I can't afford it, i'm gonna steal it.

Blackstrobe

From the creators of the band (Ivan Smagghe and Arnaud Rebotini), Blackstrobe is aiming to make "scary music", which can be defined as Electro, with a powerfull Metal background, with Groove.
Cold music can make people dance, they said.

Check :the "Chemical Sweetgirl" Blackstrobe's single, with titles as "the Abwher Disco", you will understand why I love it.
