What is it about the dark side that so attracts French techno producers? Perhaps it’s a reaction to the glitz of Guetta; instead of the silky French touch, much of the country’s underground could better be described as a Gallic smackdown, with sooty atmospherics and post-punk dread underscoring cold, metallic grooves.
That’s definitely the case with the latest release from Catalepsia, head of the Days Of Being Wild label. ”Les Seigneurs” offers a druggy, slow-motion groove that combines death-gurgle acid with dubby horns and more than a hint of early ‘80s Sheffield gloom; it’s scary and yet kinda sexy all at once. The Optimo Music artists Naum Gabo up the tempo and intensify the drums, resulting in a real nail-biter of a remix. Just the stuff for Halloween.
We asked Catalepsia (aka Jérome Bazzanella) to share a selection of his current faves, and he turned in a list that dovetails perfectly with his own productions, including tracks from Kill The DJ, Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space label, Throne Of Blood, and that fantastic new Death In Vegas record.
