Grant Phabao and Djouls - Funk With Kids
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2008-01-19

Info :
A mix that's been nearly a year in preparation, a mix that started with the best 'Funk For Kids' dispositions, but ended in a 'Funk WITH Kids' way all grown-ups should enjoy too. We've been digging for months for those kiddie funk tracks, and thanks to the "ABC's of Kid Soul" compilation recently released by the Numero Group (ditributed by the friendly Differ-Ant people over here in France), we've finally managed to round up quite a surprising soundtrack of electic grooves with kids (or choirs of kids) singing...

Also a special big-up to Medeski Martin and Wood's new album of music for kids on Little Monster Records, 'Let's Go Everywhere', which showcases the versatility of our favorite jazz band out there. You'll aslo find John Medeski playing keyboards along with Steven Bernstein (from Sex Mob) on trumpet and Sharon Jones on vocals (with a few others...) on the 'Baby Loves Jazz' album - one that all parents should get when they get tired of FM Radio and other kinds of debilitating kids music, one that will ravish the youngsters in the backseat!

Finally, everybody must know the Justice 'D.A.N.C.E.' track by now, but we've taken the liberty of playing just before this one a bit of the track that must have inspired such a worldwide single, the MASSIVE hit from Erik Rug and MC Dynamax, remixed by L'Aroye and Ky, 'Tribute To My People'. If you don't own this 12 inch yet, find yourself a new record supplier cos' this was THE track of 2006. Nuff' said.

Grant Phabao and Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.8
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2008-01-02

Info :
We've prepared four new mixes in the 'Molesting Laura' series, which, as you might already know, are be all about covers, mashups and classic tracks reworked in a brand new style... And if you're still guessing who this mysterious Laura is, let's just say that the owls are not what people think they are...

Served first is Grant Phabao and Djouls are Molesting Laura Vol.8, an incredible funk'n'disco mix of smashing covers and clobbering re-edits. Expect to dig memories of Matata, The Meters, Rage Against The Machine, Kool And The Gang, James Brown, The Beatles, Vanilla Fudge or even John Barry's theme from 'Superman'... This is heavy dancefloor business for funk lovers, and we can only hope that our favorite incredible melting entertainment compagnons Grant Phabao and Djouls will keep on 'Molesting Laura' for a long, long time.

You might then want to check Grant Phabao and Djouls are Molesting Laura Vol.9, an 'All Directions In Jazz' dish of old and new reworks of soul, rock, pop, funk, house or even Ethiopian jazz. The covers range from Herbie Hancock, Eumir Deodato, The Cure, Outkast, Isolee, Mulatu Atsake to Marvin Gaye, in classy jazz dressings. 30 minutes of jazz hit-singles eclectism for an intense and swinging trip - don't pass out on this!
[ONLINE NEXT MONDAY - JANUARY 7]

If you're not tired yet of all this craziness in music, you might then be the lucky listener of Grant Phabao and Djouls are Molesting Laura Vol.10, a really 'out there' combination of soul, ska, funk, balakanese beats, swing, hip hop, rock and pop; with covers of Dusty Springfield, Herbie Hancock (again), Kylie Minogue, Outkast (again, too!), Van Morrison or Johnny Pate, but also some strange mashups of Peggy Lee and Iggy Pop, and of The Flaming Lips and Marvin Gaye. This has got to be heard to be believed!
[ONLINE THE SATURDAY AFTER - JANUARY 12]

Finally, to cool things down a little bit, we've cooked a wicked set of soul and funk reggae covers, Grant Phabao and Djouls are Molesting Laura Vol.11, which got us digging quite deep into our Jamaican funk compilations, albums and singles, for some smokin' takes on The Temptations, The White Stripes, Lalo Schifrin, Dusty Springfield, The Meters, Stevie Wonder, William DeVaughn, Billy Paul or Syl Johnson.

Info :
Arthur Borgnis aka Doctor Donuts pratique le deejaying depuis 92. Il defend une certaine idee du mixe eclectique et aime varier les saveurs loin des formatages habituels. Fortement influence par le jazz, il puise ses racines dans le large spectre de la musique black (soul, brazil, latin, hip-hop...), mais aussi dans les musiques 'electroniques' (Detroit techno, House, Broken...). Avec son compere Antoine Bertola, il compose sous le nom de Charivari (Downsall – Schema), dont les remixes et maxis ont ete largement playlistes (Laurent Garnier, Rainer Truby, Alton Miller, Quantic…...). L'album de Charivari est prevu pour le printemps.
Egalement realisateur, Arthur Borgnis finit le montage du documentaire 'Broken Vibes' consacre au Broken Beat (Bugz, IG Culture, Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova...) qui sortira en DVD debut 2008. Promoteur des soirees Jazz Freaks, Doctor Donuts souhaite faire partager son amour pour le jazz et les galaxies qui l'entourent: brazil, latin, funk, soul, hip hop, broken beat... sans oublier la danse et la convivialite.

Info :
The idea to make this podcast struck me when I heard that Winter Olympic Games in 2014 would take place in Sochi. There is a record in my collection which is called "Sochi". It is dedicated to this wonderful resort in the South of Russia. Well, Sochi status has changed to a would-be olympic capital now. The opening track in the mix is a song in Spanish recorded by a cuban singer Lourdes Gil together with the cinematographic orchestra of the USSR directed by Silantyev. The rest of the mix is compiled of records released by 'Melodia' over the years, including discs that were made just before the Olympic Games '80 in Moscow.

Loik - Bizot Is The One
(MP3 Podcast on www.parisdjs.com) Kraked, 2007-12-13

A small tribute to the immense Jean-Francois :
Bizot notre pape de la contre culture, fondateur d'Actuel et de Radio Nova, nous a quitte il y a quelques mois et la vie n'est plus pareille. Ses coup de gueule, ses entousiasmes, sa liberte d'etre et ses visions nous manquent deja cruellement. A l'occasion d'un Mensomadaire special, j'en profite juste pour lui jouer quelques songs qu'il affectionnait, de la musique pour lui. Pour lui dire qu'il nous manque!

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Roots Vol.4
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2007-11-18

Info :
A few months have gone by with only one or two new mixes appearing over here but thankfully, we haven't received much complaints yet. After this nearly-hiatus period, we're glad to announce we're back with bags and bags and bags of new records to play. Beside our usual record-digging over-activity, cool labels like Tru Thoughts, Ubiquity, Freestyle, Melting Pot, First Word, Ropeadope, Sonar Kollektiv, Les Disques du Telegraphe or T.I.M.E.C. have been sending us some incredible stuff recently, and we cannot thank them all nearly enough.

Things start heating up with a '21st Century Roots Vol.4', carefully selected by one of our most persistent DJs, Djouls, and especially blended by the number 1 french soundmaster, Grant Phabao, whose MP3s might sound better than your WAVs... As you might already know, this series focuses on reggae-tinted music that's been produced after the year 2000. Expect a tight selection of roots reggae, jamaican funk and dub - perfectly fit all the lazy iPod smokers out there. The Mr Vegas vs Grant Phabao bootleg is 100 percent exclusive and we'd love to get more info on The Flying Customs band/group/artist (??) who sent us this back-to-the-roots marvel...

Coming soon, a serie of 3 new Molesting Laura mixes for all lovers of surprising covers...
