Floating Points - Future Soul from Sun Ra to Madlib

Floating Points - Future Soul from Sun Ra to Madlib
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-01-24

Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points has been shaking the electronic music world for two years now, through a string of releases on his own label Eglo as well as Planet Mu and R2, and remixes for the likes of Shawn Lee, Sébastien Tellier, Bonobo, Basement Jaxx or Four Tet... His smooth, dusty, soulful House sound, his techno-disco-boogie bubblism are rather Detroit-flavoured, while his samples are craftily cut into heavy bumping crunch-beats, paying respect to the lineage from Sun Ra to Madlib and onwards. He's still a twentysomething, but has already stepped out of the DJ action, recording and mixing his full Floating Points Ensemble 16-piece group at the legendary Abbey Road Studios for the Ninja Tune XX twentieth anniversary celebration. This is future soul at the edge of modern British music!

Colored-Inc. presents Carlton Livingston
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-02-05

Carlton Livingston is one of the great, sort of lost singers of the early eighties dancehall scene. He's just released a new album on the Colored-Inc. label, Bridge of Life and it's a killer. Under the production of Grant Phabao, Carlton's smooth style and voice made this album full of both dancehall mashers and lovers tunes.

Grant Phabao & Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.3 (2005 reissue)

Grant Phabao and Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.3
(MP3 Podcast) T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC085, 2005-10-07

A covers and bootlegs special, mashed-up by the famous insane lazy ones of the Telegraphe station (Paris 20th), in the shape of a rarities and improbable covers jam. Includes a bootie made especially for the occasion by the mild lunatics duet, with a Mel Brooks pie dough (It' s Good To Be The King), apples slices imported from Grandmaster Flash's (The Message), and some Beastie Boys caramel wrappings. The Quantic Soul Orchestra is also characterized by its surrealist covers: a take on the Red Astaire bootleg which had mixed an acapella of D'Angelo with an instrumental from Cal Tjader (Follow Me), and a raw replay of Mr Scruff who had completely pumped Moondog (Get A Move On, actually Bird' s Lament).
