"Phred Noir" started the “La dame Noir” project in 2008; back then, it was a blog meant to spread the darker side of disco music. He has, ever since its creation, been a good friend and an inspiration to the Feinstoff platform.

Early 2009, Phred met Hugo Jurado and they decided to open in Marseille the first European venue 100% dedicated to Nu-Disco, Dark Disco & Indie Dance music.

“La dame Noir Bar“, was born, and so was the Marseille Indie Dance scene. That’s how the locals like Did Virgo, FK Club, Amevicious, Fred Berthet, Danton Eeprom, and Sebastien Bromberger got the chance to share the booth with artists like Andrew Weatherall, Superpitcher, Rebolledo, Michael Mayer, Munk came to share the booth in a small 70 square meters bar… That’s also how artists like Mano Le Though, The Revenge, Mark E or Woolfy had their first gig in France!

In 2011, still under the art direction of Phred, “La dame Noir Dancing,” a 250 people-capacity club opened and 3 times a week hosted acts of the emerging such as (urses, Damon Jee, Chloe, Ivan Smagghe, Manfredas, Pachanga Boys, Sacha Funke, ALFOS to name a few..

Playing 3 times a week in “La dame Noir Dancing”  during 9 years, Phred Noir had the outstanding chance to play music with all the artists that matter from the dark disco/indie dance scene, but now, “LdN Dancing” is closed since COVID so it’s time to move forward to new projects & parties…

Today, he has weekly residency & Art direction every Thursday at Le Vice Versa (Marseille) and every Friday at Le Vice Versa (Paris).

The great ArgenMexican Thomass Jackson returns to Playground with a tasty EP consisting of 3 original tracks and a remix by the talented Bristol boy Chez de Milo.
Fat basslines, lysergia and plenty of groove await you on this release destined to be savoured on the dancefloor.

In dawn's gentle hush, where time's whispers rush, birds in flight, a trance, nature's noise dance.
In this trance, we find our place, amidst the wonder, the boundless space, where whispers merge with nature's song, and in its depths, we truly belong. Each beat a rhythm, ancient, free, a dance of grace, for eyes to see. In the movement we find peace, in their soaring embrace, a moment, a sigh, beneath the open sky.

The Trance Of Bird Watching

Thomass Jackson - Amargaux Simil

En este episodio muy especial de Songmess damos inicio a una nueva mini serie enfocada hacia Sinaloa! En Octubre 2023 viajamos al norte mexicano, dónde visitamos las ciudades de Mazatlán, Culiacán y Los Mochis para empaparnos de la música que suena en la capital de la banda sinaloense. En ese viaje encontramos punk, folk, corridos y música electrónica, y este primer episodio nos pone en conversación con la banda de psych y garage-punk, Holy Sunn!

Conformada por Pablo Montoya e Israel Beltrán, Holy Sunn llevan unos 10 años como puntas de lanza del under y DIY en Culiacán, lanzando una serie de EPs que transitan el ruido y desenfreno y gestionando festivales, merch y hasta su propio foro. Nuestra conversación abarca los inicios y trayectoria de la banda, la más reciente edición del Holypalooza, su productora Casa del Sol, y cómo el pank sigue adelante en la marea ranchera.

Playlist: Holy Sunn, Canela, Gratis y Trampa Para Hadas.

XPRESS-IONS Radio Ft. JAMES ROD. EP.64 (29.4.24)

Over the past decade the French duo of Tepat Huleux and Giac Di Falco, aka You Man, have made a name for themselves on the underground disco scene with their stunning live shows, Huleux's hypnotic visuals created and releases on labels such as as Tronik Youth’s NEIN and Eskimo Recordings. Now a decade on the pair are revisiting their acclaimed debut EP, and its lead track Birdcage, inviting some of the many friends they've made over the years to help them celebrate. 

Originally released on the now defunct Alpage Records, Birdcage's chugging 109bpm beat and a melody that switches from throbbing minimalism to something that stands tantalisingly close to a full on Ibiza sunrise moment made it the kind of track that is never far from a discerning DJs record bag and perfect for reinterpretation. https://soundcloud.com/you_man

First up to rework the track is Mexican DJ/producer and co-owner of Duro Records, Theus Mago. Upping the tempo, Mago works Birdcage's familiar, pulsating bass line, twisting it into new acidic shapes, whilst the addition of menacing rave stabs adds a dark techno vibe to the track. The result is a sparse yet exhilarating number, perfect for when you need to kick the night into gear. https://soundcloud.com/theusmago

You Man - Birdcage (Theus Mago Version) [Eskimo Recordings]

MM Discos returns to Asia for their next release, specifically to Seoul, to present the talented producer "Celex", yet another example of the inexhaustible quality of underground Korean music. 

Celex, formerly known as Cabinett, is no stranger to electronic music, having spent years developing his own sound where house and deep were his common dominators. This time, the Korean producer moves towards a more "disco" and organic sound. 

In "Capa Disco Works", Celex delivers 6 tracks in a "balearic" key where arpeggios and psychedelia go hand in hand, creating the perfect soundtrack for a Mediterranean vacation. Indeed, the album was crafted by Celex following a holiday in Mallorca. 

Imagine what the result would be if Giorgio Moroder had spent a weekend at the legendary "Pikes" with only his synthesizers and a good dose of LSD for company; that's what "Capa Disco Works" sounds like.

PREMIERE – You Man – Birdcage (Rigopolar Version) (Eskimo Recordings)

Deep in the fantasy he found himself buried between books and parliamentary papers. He was attempting to solve a riddle as to the whereabouts of the guns of rixdorf but little insight was to be gathered upon this evening it seemed. The little candle flickered abruptly on the mantlepiece and sizzled into the abyss upon the breath of wind. He was surrounded by little but the night and the cold crackle of a stereo. All of a sudden a great voice beckoned down the corridor. 

Franz Matthews returns to release a new EP on the much loved Days Of Being Wild record label.
