Don’t Assume

By MERCURIUS FM on November 9, 2009

Word up Boppers.

For this week’s post we’ll go French again with some old school movers and shakers.

First off is the now-world-famous Alan Braxe with his classic House guitar anthem, Rubicon. Alan Braxe is most well known for his hit single Time Out and production work with Thomas Bangalter for Stardust’s Music Sounds Better With You. This track was also a favorite among fans. It also features bass by Braxe’s long time compadre, Fred Falke.

Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Rubicon

Next, we go even further back to a man who is one of the founders of French House… Etienne de Crecy. Although he is better known now for his much more distinctly “tech” sound (see Super Discount 2), he started off making slow funk and jazz grooves (see Super Discount). This cut happens to be a remix by SebastiEn Leger from Etienne’s own solo album Tempovision. This mix is a bit more abstract than Leger’s usual but is still quite superb.

B-Sides!

By MERCURIUS FM on November 2, 2009

Word up BOPPERS!

I hope you all had a great and spooktacular Halloween weekend. I know I did. The night before Halloween, I opened for Felix Da Housecat in Scottsdale, Az and we completely blew the roof off the joint. At the end we stopped for photo ops and signed posters together!

Now for the musique.

First off, to get your palettes wet, we’ll start with some thick basslinin’ by LifeLike along with Roman Salzger. This is a massive tune with some great production and great narration. This is basically a one-off project they did together and was the B-Side to Radio 84. LifeLike is going to be coming out with a new album soon and Roman Salzger is still churning out hooks.

**LINK NOW WORKS! MEDIAFIRE WASN’T ACCEPTING THE FILE***

Digging deep into the Daft Punk vault, I present you with Indo Silver Club Part II. This was only released as a B-Side to Indo Silver Club, which came out only on vinyl before Daft Punk was signed to Virgin. This is a heavy tune that is quite representative of that time and what I love about House and Techno.

Hope to see you Boppers soon at a party near you!

Take It To The Street

By MERCURIUS FM on October 26, 2009

Word up Boppers!

I’m in LA this weekend! City of smog, hipsters etc. (You know the song) I already bought 2 pairs of sunglasses in 3 days and I’m holding back! I don’t have my full music library with me but still I’m managing to bring you my weekly post with no skimp on the quality!

I took this photo. :)

So let’s get to it.

The first track is by French House producers and pioneers, CASSIUS, which consists of Phillipe Zdar and Boombass. The history and contribution to modern House Music these guys have made is too long to even try to cover here. So I’ll link you to their discogs so you can read all about all the releases going back to 1993. If you like what you hear check out Cassius’ new record “Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes” and also their fantastic iTunes only mix for Nike.

Cassius - Till We Got You and Me

Next, we have an old French House stomper by The Buffalo Bunch. This is a group comprised of Play Paul (Guy of Daft Punk’s brother) and Raw Man. They only had a few records, but it was a strong run.

The Buffalo Bunch - T.I.T.T.S.

Enjoy and keep the dancefloor 4 by 4.

French House Time Machine

By MERCURIUS FM on October 20, 2009

Well, Halloween is next week and we’re all planning our rad weekends. Of course, all of us at the Boppernation have party plans. Its the only way we know. (I’m not going to quote MSTRKRFT on this one.)

With that said, today I have 2 French House gems to share with you. The first one is from French bassline masters Dynamic Rockers. Practically every track they make has this fresh production style to it and of course that signature tube sounding bassline. According to their website they are working on a brand new album. Something to look forward to.

Dynamic Rockers - Thinking of You

Our next track is by Altered Beast, which means nothing to most people unless you have a Sega Genesis. Altered Beast is the project of Dirty Ali & Funky Farid, creators of the successful electro house group The Eternals.

Altered Beast - Ghost Train

That should cover it for today. One last thing I want to touch on is fellow BOPPER Melissa B. Her Drawings Group on Flickr is now well over 100 members and counting. She just finished her first Moleskine notebook (you know, the one that Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso used) and is preparing to start her second one. Above is one of her epic drawings, you should all check it out and join the group and show your support.

MERCURIUS FM MONDAY

By MERCURIUS FM on October 12, 2009

Hello fellow BOPPERS. This is my first post on Boppernation. My name is Mercurius FM and I am a producer/DJ/remixist. I’ve been brought on to this site to help get some different views and tracks on board. I hope to contribute and help this site grow with my insane collection of dance music.

So without further delay, each week I’m planning to post house classics with a tilt on the filtered/disco sound we (I) love. I will make a point of never posting 128kbs mp3s (since everyone has those) and focus on posting 200+VBR – 320KBS mp3s only.

Our first track should be familiar but maybe hard to find in quality.

Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon - Together

Our second track, which is equally great but less known,

Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell - Together

DJ Falcon MySpace – Daft Punk MySpace (Thomas Bangalter)

Sebastian Ingrosso MySpace – Axwell MySpace

Enjoy.
