DRAGONGAZ FEAT REMIX BY TAMBOUR BATTANT "TATTOO EP" - EXPRESSILLON |
|
|
Member of the French underground electronic live scene Dragongaz has been active in free parties, festivals and clubs in France since more than a decade with his former band Interlope. Dragongaz' solo live act is based on playing and improvising with a computer, a beatbox and various controllers delivering each time a different set based on Breaks, Techno and Drum and Bass, with some bites off Rock and dirty House, always dedicated to the dancefloor. For this new release on Expressillon records, Dragongaz delivers a dance track with Techno Breaks influences peppered with some guitar riffs taking him back to his roots as guitar player in various bands during the nineties. The B side brings forward the new comers on Expressillon aka Tambour Battant and The Unik for a unique and very dancefloor remix of Dragongaz' track Split Dance. As a cherry on the cake the fantastic artwork from Sebastien Pons will make this new E.P. as pleasant for the ears as for the eyes!

TAMBOUR BATTANT "0N THE GROUND REMIXES" - EXPRESSILLON |
|
|
We thought it was time to give him a second youth with a bunch of refreshing remixes. As often these times, fresh air comes from overseas, with a great dubstep remix by Cali producer Coma, and a Baile Funk remix straigth from Brazilian Leo Justi. Frenchies are still on the edge though, with an adrenaline-fuelled disto-electro refix by the mighty Zol (preview), , a vocal-crazy Dubstep version by new kid on the block Habstrakt (preview), and a couple of electro bangers from Redux (previewt) and Just for Fun.
So put your Handz Up as we stay On the Ground! |
| UZUL & N'TYPE "RUFFNEG E.P." ON DUB TECHNIC |
|
After years of work as samplers and electronic textures operator in the famous French live dub band Kaly Live Dub, Uzul discovered Dubstep and felt in love for its huge sound and sub-frequencies focus. His true solo live performances shooting Dubstep into live unexplored areas gave him much respect from the heavyweights in the scene such as Skream who did a remix for his “Under Pressure E.P.” on Dub Technic in 2009. A few months after Uzul is back on record with an ultra heavy devastating track - “Ruffneg” – and a not less prestigious remixer: The award-winning Dubstep DJ / producer and label owner N-Type, for the first time on a French label ! 2 perfect weapons to boost a dj set when the pressure seems to fall.

TAMBOUR BATTANT "ON THE GROUND" E.P. ON EXPRESSILLON |
|
|
After their critically acclaimed Chip Jockey in December, Tambour Battant strikes back with an EP that's got the best of both world: UK bass and French Touch, house and nu break, somewhere between Jack Beats and Mr Oizo. A-Side's On the Ground has been termed “a 2010 version of Mr Oizo's legendary « flat beat »”, with its typical wahwah bass line, combined with an electric house beat and excited vocal samples to hype the crowd. This track simply never stops going, taking only a short breathe on the breakdown. A perfect club banger. On the flip Handz up starts with huge snaps and aerial electro lead synths that set the mood for another Tambour Battant banger. Their signature: staccato synths and clipped vocals, keep putting the pressure till the end. OUT NOW - VINYL & DIGITAL - CAT N° EXPR404 ° Video Teaser HERE ° Listen to previews HERE |

| 'FREAKS SHOW' E.P. BY REDUX ON EXPRESSILLON |

Even if it’s only in 2007 that Redux name makes it appearance on the electro scene , Nikko – the man who hides behind this guise – has been a familiar name in the more up-tempo register with not less than 20 releases along with Karbon 14 sound system in the mid 90’s. Keeping his experimental approach of music, Redux, having achieved maturity, doesn’t need to force the pace anymore to captivate and electrify the crowds and starts to flirt with a vibe more close to electro-tech-house and breakbeat.

69db’s music literally grew up on the sound systems of the 1990’s. Over this period along with Spiral Tribe and its sub label Network 23 69db has been developing a scheme that fuses live improvisation with electronic music and programming. The result is 50/50 split between these two poles and gained much respect from musicians inside and outside the world of electronic music as improvisation within the electronic media breaks the barrier between performers and listeners. The first real project found its place on Paris based label Expressillon where in 1999 the album ‘69db in dub technic’ - a voyage into improvised jams fusing dub, techno and breakbeat - was completed, followed by ‘Dragoon dub’ in 2002.

So what made this one special? Unknown to 69db that night was how much this particular mix was to become his benchmark mix. One that would follow him even to this day. A mix that sold 5000 copies around parties and for years has been passed hand to hand from fan to fan till it has become impossible to know how many people have listened to or have been influenced by this mix. Here today through the constant demand from fans we have re-mastered this work for vinyl in order to liberate it from the hiss of cassettes and the confines of car stereos in order to give Dj's a chance to let the dancefloor have a go.
