Boppernation

Welcome back Bopperz.

This week I found some less conventional French dance tunes. I’m also planning out a mix/podcast for BN which you can look forward to in the weeks to come.

First up, we have a remix by Mr Oizo of French mega band, AIR. This is an electro remix of one of Air’s top singles, Don’t Be Light. I know this remix isn’t like this big groove track, but if you speed it up when you’re DJing, I could see this track working pretty rad in a set. Very minimal and electro (actual electro) style production here… as if you would expect anything else from Mr Oizo.

Next up we have a synth pop House track by Cosmo Vitelli. This song is all about vibe and feeling. Great production work here and a fun song. This came off of Cosmo Vitelli’s great (and only) album, Clean. He is also working on his own Parisian label, I’m A Cliché.

Hope you have a good week and enjoy those tracks. Also, voting is still open for my remix of YeaSayer on MadDecent.com. Till next time…

Here’s another post of some classic gems. We’ve got a 90s classic remixed by a modern House master. Then we have a classic French electro hit, predating (and perhaps, in part, creating) the mega trend in the mid 00′s.

Our first track is a remix of the 1997 Basement Jaxx hit, Fly Life. Its a long and deep mix by UK House producer and dub hero, Switch. This is a good remix if you want something more mellow to play in your sets. Nice baseline too.

To close things off, I present to you one of the most critical french dance trax ever made, Flat Beat by Mr. Oizo. Driving baseline and a simple beat keep this track going. Mix it up with some filters and a few minor cuts, and you have yourself a floor filler. Also, check out the classic music video for it.

Keep it fresh.
