Yeah ! Chris Isaak meets Woody & Mia !... Cooool !!!



In April 2013 we were approached by the organisers of the Explore the North festival in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. They asked if we would use some footage of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour), the world's biggest ice skating race, and write some songs around it. So we did. A transcript in English is below

Elfstedentocht Part 2

This disc is one of the rarest Massive Attack promo discs in existence. There were only 200 copies produced and each is numbered. 

This disc was only given out free to the first 200 patrons of the Nocturne club in Bristol on the night of the 12th March 2002. It was the third in the series of such very limited releases from Nocturne to feature exclusive one track mixes from well-known DJ's and musicians from Bristol. 

This particular one was mixed by 3D and offers a interesting look at some of his favourite songs over the years. Even more interesting to Massive Attack fans is the two previously unreleased Massive Attack songs that 3D mixed into the running time of the one continuous track on the disc. These songs are I Against I (which would go on commericial release as part of the Blade 2 soundtrack in the next few weeks time), Inflight Data (previously only heard on the porn film's The Uranus Experiment soundtrack) and an new untitled remix of Risingson probably remixed by the Mad Professor.

An new updated Nocture Sessions mix from 2010 can be streamed in mp3 quality for free at delnaja.com

New album 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 out now: http://tristessecontemporaine.lnk.to/UNITED

TRISTESSE CONTEMPORAINE : Leo, Narumi and Mike.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE BASS.

We will always have that fantastic feeling inside us of hearing that bass getting louder and louder as we are carried closer and closer to the heart of our favourite dance floor.
We will always have in our minds that bass line of that rock song that will stay with us for all our lives, Peter Hook, Simon Gallup, Mani...You name it.
Tristesse Contemporaine is glued together by three adopted Parisians, a Japanese girl and two guys, one British, one Swedish.
Raw, desperate and hypnotic energy engulfed by memories of Shoegazer and Krautrock.
The trio flirt in the shadows of Suicide with catchy melodies and synth-pop, held together by that androgynous voice, suspended on the razor's edge of that beautiful vintage bass.

Romantic and flamboyant, arrogant and haunting, their first album imagines a world in chiaroscuro, where the electrical illuminations of shoegazing merge with electronic beats, with a heightened new wave sensitivity.
Climb to the dark side of modern pop as you enter the fractured, hypnotic, dance of Tristesse Contemporaine.

1st album released 12 March 2012. (Pschent/ DIRTY)
2nd album released September 2013 from Record Makers. (DIRTY/ RECORD MAKERS)
