LISTEN

Air & Jean Jacques Perrey - Cosmic Bird

That track was available on a “vinyl only” Source Lab compilation end of the 90’s. It’s so kitsh but so lovely! I still play this track at the end of some of the best nights, when the crowd is ready for this.

Clubfeet - Everything You Wanted

Available on the last opus of this nice australian band, it’s my favorite track of the album. I should try to remix it…
Thee Madkatt Courtship - Cosmic Pop

Thee Madkatt Courtship is one of the side-project of the dude Felix Da Housecat. I think that this album was never released except on vinyl… And i got it. I used to play this track a lot during my residency in Brussel’s Dirty Dancing Club. It was one of the club’s classics.
Common Factor - Get Down

I discovered house music with Common Factor, and this track. I was search for the vinyl for more than 5 years! I finally found it in a vinyl shop in Paris.
Alba - Only Music Survives

So good. It’s one of my “end of the night” classics.
Street Corner Symphony - Symphonic Tonic

This track was playlisted in the Claudio Coccoluto’s Mixmag compilation in 1998. One of the best old school house/disco tracks ever.
Nu Spirit Helsinki - Take It Back

One of my favorite tracks on one of my favorite old-school-deep-house music labels, Guidance Recordings. This track is full of melancholy and love.
La Funk Mob - Motor Bass Get Phunked Up (richie Hawtin Remix)

I used to play this track in all of my sets! I’m a huge fan of Mo’Wax (90’s period) and I have the whole collection on vinyl. This minimal funk track is a killer!
