Tracks from 107.3FM Reprezent - 23rd February 2012


Here are all the tracks that were on the show yesterday night on 107.3FM Reprezent Radio. They were all great, I hope you will agree:

Bingo Players - L'Amour 

new release “L’Amour” has a pretty massive sound and I don’t think the release being right before spring and the start of festival season begins is any coincidence, they want to be part of it!

Timo Juuti & Hector 87 – Cheap Bad Moves 
My friend, Tom The Hatchet, has just informed me that Hector 87 is a old Japanese snes game called starship hector which came out in 1987, it was called Hector 87 in Japan. That is a fact people, store that in the memory bank.

Le Crayon - Lucky Couple 

I was given a little message from Le Crayon just after I walked in the studio who said 'that track was made for a 100% made in France nu-disco compilation, but ironically enough it's really inspired by English producer Starsmith and Aussi prodigy Shazam. It's just a very repetitive synth-based track, obviously unmastered and produced in my very small room/basement in Paris with the help of a lot of smoke, which is prob why the sidechain is so wrong :) 

More after the jump....

Thony Ritz - Moonwalker 
Frenchman Thony Ritz (29 years) takes history where these glorious elders left it.
Based in Vernon, as a teenager he discovers the filtered house music and the samples of this movement, and sees them as a true revelation. Influenced by funk music, disco music and Jean Michel Jarre, he has listened to since his childhood, he produces his first pieces at the age of 10 with a binary synthetizer and records his first tracks on Amiga trying to imitate the author of Oxygene. His beginning as a DJ in the Parisian region at the age of 18 – where he gets venues by daring to propose his services in nightclubs – confirms his instinct: the dancefloor is his calling.

My Heart Your Heart / Sebastian Sackewitz, Leipzig, Germany
This is another track that comes from the compilation ‘Le Delight Club – Indisco Vol.1’ that I played something from last week
One of Q’s Faces For 2012 Moon explained the inspiration behind this new, one-off sample-heavy track, telling Q: “Yeah Yeah is like a capsule of what I was listening to when I made the track – James Brown, The Meters, Amerie, Wu-Tang, Kanye West, Nas. I just wanted to smash it all together and see what happened!”
The track is built around a central sample from Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F’ Wit’. This was recorded straight from the depths of his home-studio in Hackney.
Simply one of the best tracks I have heard, ever. 
Orna - The Anthem (Flume Remix)
Flume got his first taste for producing at age 13 from the most unlikely of places – a music production program he found in a cereal box. It began Flume’s obsession with all things synthetic and started his addiction for plug-ins, sample packs & vintage analogue hardware. “Sleepless” is Flume’s debut EP and has enough lush pads, chopped and chipmunked vocals, saw synths and awesome percussion to impress any fan of Hudson Mohawke, Flying Lotus, Seekae or Space Dimension Controller.
Twin Turbo label released on the 7th February, this is Zoo Brazil’s second release for the label and it captures all the restless energy of the City That Doesn't Sleep, or mnost techno fans would agree.
John Andersson and Johan Emmoth from stockholm are the creative force behind Zoo Brazil, The pair are prolific producers and DJs, having worked with some of the world’s best known artists - for example Human League.

Santigold - Disparate Youth Pre-order the Disparate Youth EP on iTunes out 8th April: It’s funny how MIA and Santigold seem to bring out things at the same time, I still believe that MIA I a poor man’s Santigold, which I believe is widely agreed with considering the vast critical slamming on her latest track Bad Girls. Even though the video is pretty special. I have a great place in my heart as at Lovebox festival last year she was my stand out act, shining through when others seemed to be dampened by the rain. This the first single off Santigold's "Master of My Make Believe" due out this May.
