The latest house duo to emerge from the Parisian underground bid us bonjour with this stellar debut on Dialect, fusing retroist 80s leanings with brain mulching techno voodoo. Title track ‘Scandale’ and ‘Lame De Fond’ share the same pulsing sequenced heart, transplanted from Carpenter soundtracks and Italo disco classics and then zapped with a thousand volts of warped, detuned and malfunctioning synthesizer electricity. ‘El Topo’ replaces the bristling sequences with a spiky post punk snarl courtesy of live guitars, bass and organ (a la Suicide no less) but retains the twisted electronics for a woozy half time experiment in dancefloor psychedelia. Essential for fans of Joakim, Ivan Smagghe and early Gesaffelstein productions.

Today in the share-zone:
An abandoned, unfinished dub of Client Liaison, back from when we were going to release them on Multi Culti. Fun fact: Duke Dumont also did a remix that never saw the light of day (or night). I gave up on this one because it was too 'white' and I couldn't imagine ever wanting to be seen playing it. Now's the time when you tell me I was wrong and crazy and it's actually making you groove away from your computer terminal and into the outback of your mind.
If this reaches 1 million plays I'll upload the vocal version.

Client Liaison - End of the Earth (Von Party's Balearic Dub demo)

In a crowded room of laughter and light, you see the truth no one else can. The years have refined the illusion, every gesture polished, every shadow disguised. Yet somewhere between the piano’s ache and the ghost of a voice in France, the façade flickers. A Dark Adapted Eye is that instant of clarity when beauty turns translucent, and darkness finally comes into view.

Craig Bratley has been carving out a distinct and somewhat peculiar discography since his debut release ‘Free Music’ landed in 2004. The foundations of his tracks are often weighty and driving, leaving the outer layers to go intricately wild.  

Andrew Weatherall stands tall among British dance music’s most prominent figures. He’s been killing it for decades, and shows no signs of stopping. ‘Play The Game (Andrew Weatheral remix)’ stretches the track out into a mesmerising, 10-minute masterpiece that goes both minimal and maximal as it traverses through spidery percussive lines and crashing guitar chords. Check it out below.

Finally.....
Lithuanian bandit and current Multi Culti tour poster boy Manfredas (who delayed the package by 3 months + some) weighs in with an incredibly dope, hook-filled revision. Worth the wait for his weight in cult gold.  
This is the final remix on the package due to hit the digital shelves in a couple of weeks, followed by the vinyl which is making its way through the presses at the factory as we type this message.

Joan La Barbara & John Cage - Eight Whiskus (Sutja's Edit)

The jungle was alive with the sound of music, distorted and loud it echoed through the trees. The drums of passion banged loudly amidst the midnight hour as the villagers danced and chanted in a glorious display of love and adoration. The leaves of the trees cast strange shadows across the soggy ground as the rain began to pitter patter in the puddles beneath. The night air smelt like the wild flowers and strange plants which grew all around, she began to dance.

Our brother Bawrut has released a new EP on Lyon based record label Hard Fist. A beautiful collaboration between good friends we are delighted to be able to showcase this one.

♫ About ♫
PREMIERE : Iñigo Vontier - Chiquitita on Acid (Original Mix) [Lumiere Noire]
Buy: https://lumierenoire.lnk.to/XuXu
Release Date : 2019-10-11

It was just a few months ago that the Mexican DJ/producer released Aluxes, his first EP on Lumière Noire. 
That record‘s four astounding tracks (complete with a Tolouse Low Trax remix) further re- fined the producer’s approach to dark disco: off-kilter and bordering on the iconoclastic, but always dancefloor oriented. At the same time, the Jalisco native demonstrated how one can very much stand out on the worldwide electronic music scene while remaining faithful to one’s roots, infusing the EP’s hypnotic mid-tempo grooves with haunting incantations to Mayan deities – and other mischievous mythological creatures. 
In keeping with Chloé’s A&R policy, Xu Xu’s two tracks and two remixes continue in the same vein, indulging in off-beat signatures and innovative electronic flourishes, taking the listener on a languid tour of a dense, luxuriant jungle – as if floating on a raft of mysterious percus- sion and hallucinated voices. 
Just like on Vontier’s previous effort, the listener is left with the impression of being slowly taken over by a spell, sinking into a ritual trance prompted by the bewitching chants of Tel Aviv’s Xen (a vocalist who runs in the same circles as Red Axes). 
Vontier doubles down on the electronic hexes with a version of the title track (Otra Version) giving the bold mystical invocation a slightly rougher edge. 
The track also gets the remix treatment from the incredible Roman Flügel (a pioneer of labels Playhouse, Dial and Klang), who has recently put his stamp on tracks by Daniel Avery and  C.A.R. 
The EP concludes with a second original track, Chiquitita On Acid, with its alternately tuned keyboards (a Vontier signature) and whispered vocals that place the listener at the cross- roads of universes, between dawn and dusk, resulting in a lascivious dancefloor groove that is equal parts haunting and hedonistic. 
Just like Xu Xu, Chiquitita’s original version will be part of Iñigo Vontier’s debut album (co- ming to Lumière Noire sometime in the next few months), a full-length that will build upon the young artist’s strengths, bringing his many facets to light.

PREMIERE : Iñigo Vontier - Chiquitita on Acid (Original Mix) [Lumiere Noire]

Sascha Funke takes control of the first remix, in this case it is 'Lazer In The Jungle' which begins with a heart beat, sounds and percussion accompany, charming minimalism until you start the journey through a conversation of synthesizers marked by arrangements that bounce from one side to another, a celestial pad appears, the textures are acidified giving way to the bass that ends up to get us into the trip. Suddenly, everything disappears, empty, air, the percussions return, the groove begins, the hook of the original theme appears for the first time so that your whole body ends up dancing until the end.
