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.

Sunday Morning Soldier

Joe's journey through music started at the impressionable age of 17 when he got his first set of decks. At 21 he started on the jam band scene scratching records behind live music, and this only inspired him to write his own original tracks. Inspired by artists like Square Pusher, Aphex Twin, Autechre, LTJ Bukem and so on, Joe began his
migration into electronic music and he never looked back. It was in 2007 however that Joe gained interest in techno music when he met his production partner Matt Dillon and then formed Joint Custody who now has released on Traum and EQ Grey. Joe now looks forward to his solo career as well with releases on Crescent Records and Club 66 out of Brazil. His dark pulsating techno tracks are gaining the attention of Djs worldwide, this DJ/Producer is no joke and he is here to stay.
