Have you ever had one of those moments as you stroll down the street and you imagine playing yourself in some sort of blockbuster movie about your own life? Maybe you have, or maybe you haven't and we at Ransom Note are a bit eccentric. Who Knows? Anyway, this would make a good accompaniment to that scene.

PREMIERE: Kid Francescoli - Does She (Zoon Van Snook Remix)- Alter K Records

Minted

A1. Minted (Alligators Mix)

Out 8th July 2016
Compilation sorted by COSMO VITELLI.

Cosmo Vitelli's label I'M A CLICHÉ might have run pretty low-key to the eyes of some but during its 12 years of activity, it managed to display a very clear artistic direction strong of 70 releases with a much enviable sonic cohesion while have a fine nose for talent: among other proud achievements, the label hatched the career of Israeli super-duo Red Axes and released Azari & III's "Hungry For The Power" 6 months before it became a worldwide classic.
A dozen years during which the label's tastes bended more and more towards a very peculiar type of synth pop and synth wave, too.

This year will see the release of a few retrospective compilations, each exploring the main traits and moods of its vast catalog.
The first one, "10 TRACKS THAT MIGHT HELP YOU FOR COOKING BUT WOULD CLEAR THE DANCEFLOOR" is obviously not touching I'M A CLICHÉ's arsenal of club weapons.
It's fair to say most of the music here either displays a feel of in-betweenness, or menace and tension—not unlike preparation scenes from a heist movie.

Cosmo Vitelli rounded up a selection spanning over the last decade, from UNCLE O's skeletal beats to ETIENNE JAUMET's modular synth jam, from ENTERTAINMENT's droning melodies and warehouse-reverberating drums to DIRTY 30's (actually Alixander III from Azari & III) twisted jazz-funk-leaning disco, the misty psychedelia of RED AXES' "Dreams Like A Tale". 

It's also a look back at COSMO VITELLI's own discography, through his 2006 single "Delayer" here remixed by Quiet Village over 10 minutes and two tracks from his band BOT'OX' second album (2013), all linked by the idea that escapism can somehow be a modern affair too. Here and now.

Bot'Ox — "Fathers And Sons"

Arnaud Rebotini is a singer, songwriter, producer and remixer, he has become one of the most emblematic figures in electronic music today, adept at straddling genres, both avant-garde and timeless, and bringing them together. 
For example, his Zend Avesta project (Organique, Universal 2000) married electronic music with a chamber orchestra. 
With his analogue synthesisers, he became a central figure on the scene of new international techno, marking renewed enthusiasm for the use of electronic instruments rather than just computers. His live shows have always been unanimously celebrated (Music Components, Citizen 2008, Someone Give Me Religion, K7 - 2010) and his remixes for pour Depeche Mode, David Guetta, Rammstein, The Rapture, Bloc Party, Acid Washed and Tristesse Contemporaine are as indicative of his sets at the biggest clubs and festivals (playing live or mixing) as his collaboration with the highbrow Groupe de Recherches Musicales, especially with Christian Zanési for their Frontières project.
