MARTIN DUPONT “I Met the Beast” (1985, Facteurs d'Ambiance)
I'm not sure this is really “dancefloor-oriented” but I know for sure it was a classic tune down in the Mistral, the club where I spent too many nights in my teens, in my hometown of Aix-en-Provence. Martin Dupont were the cult-new-wave-kings of Marseille and I must confess that “I Met the Beast” and its Anne Clark-ish synths are not really typical of their output (i.e. you can't dance to the other stuff). This song reminds me I was there, on the dancefloor, ready to witness the soon to explode House revolution. Oh happy days…
SHE'S IN IT FOR THE KILL
Sometimes I wake up and remember that I live in the naughties. Then I wonder, what music am I supposed to listen? Thanks to my friends at Popjustice, I manage to stay in the know. And when I discover something like “In for the Kill” by La Roux, I can rejoice: music today is still as vital and essential as I need it to be. That's good news.
From La Roux, you may also enjoy “Quicksand” and “Bulletproof”. I do.
