SONG002 A1: Benoit & Sergio - Full Grown Man

the second release on thesongsays seems to find what we might call "romantic techno" in a happier place. sort of. while bruno pronsato's 'the make up the break up' focused on the darker side of romance, benoit &amp; sergio's 'what i've lost' raises a similar question: can we ever be really satisfied?

benoit &amp; sergio chose 'full grown man,' as the opener. the bravado of the initial vocals--'i need a lady to understand i'm a full grown man'--references the masculine posturing of, say, led zeppelin's "whole lotta love," but also calls attention to the vulnerability and neediness of this masculinity. and when we are seduced into drinking a little wine at the track's midpoint, we realize that this seduction is a mere maneuver to avoid a deeper loneliness. if, lyrically, 'full grown man' points to certain emotional complexities, so, too, does the music: somber synth lines overlay short, brassy stabs, as the intricate sequencing shifts its moods like so many teenage boys.

This is the official Benoit & Sergio remix of Matthew Dear's track Drop Science. This project was very unique for us to work on because he took the acoustic signatures and sounds from thousands of GE machines and worked with their Acoustics Engineer to create an entire original musical composition. We then put our own Benoit & Sergio spin on the track.

You can find the original Matthew Dear "Drop Science" here: https://soundcloud.com/generalelectric/drop-science

Drop Science – Matthew Dear (Benoit & Sergio Remix)

We gave Jessie Ware's track 'Tough Love' some B&S treatment. A lot of crowds have been asking about it..... so here it is. Enjoy...!

Tough Love (Benoit & Sergio Rework)

DFA / Visionquest duo Benoit & Sergio return mid October with some fresh and typically unique new material via Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom Limited imprint.

French artist Benoit & stateside producer Sergio’s collaborative career took a huge leap in 2010 with the release of their anthemic ‘Walk & Talk’ on the Visionquest imprint. Since then the duo have gone on to release via James Murphy’s DFA, Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, L.A imprint Culprit and now, adding another leading imprint to their affiliations, Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom.

As always from Benoit & Sergio this new single sees the duo offer up something refreshing, unique and undeniably catchy. Across ‘House With 500 Rooms’ subtly progressing, near ten minute duration, the pair scatter an array on deft production techniques throughout with echoing vocal swells, multilayered bass and piano hooks and soaring synth leads running alongside their signature memorable vocal styling’s.

The latter half of the package sees the duo provide a ‘Dub’ take on the original cut solely focusing on the its smooth and hypnotic vibe, while the ‘Radio Edit’ trims things back to the core of the opening composition to shape up the package.

Benoit & Sergio’s ‘House With 500 Rooms’ is out on Leftroom Limited 16th October 2015.

Tracklist:
1. House With 500 Rooms
2. House With 500 Rooms (Dub)
