Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: A Hidden Gem

Leave a comment

Garoto (Steve Cobby Solid Doc Rerub Mix) – Cusmos
Garoto

I got this track about a year ago, and since then I’ve been meaning to find a place for it in one of my mixes, but so far all I have done with it is enjoy it in the comfort of my studio or car.

So, time to share the love…

Cusmos feat. Joyce Muniz? Not a household name yet, that much is clear.

However, the Mos in Cusmos stands for Moestl, as in Karl Moestl, a name associated with Kruder & Dorfmeister and their G-Stone label.

As for Joyce Muniz (picture), her Discogs profile sounds like she’s a very promising up-and-coming DJ and MC.

As for Steve Cobby, you might better remember him as one half of the EXCELLENT duo Fila Brazillia.

Now, to me, that is the recipe for a great track!

Do check out the original and Dorfmesiter remix, they’re just as good!

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: From One Chicoine to Another

Leave a comment

I’ve recently, as many people who were in attendance, had the chance to catch Matthew Chicoine, better known under his moniker Recloose, spinning a GREAT set at Piknic Electronik.

Now, I’m not the star-struck fan-type, but I did look up the man on Facebook once I came home that afternoon, partly because I wanted to ask him directly whether he really is from Montreal, because since he’s also named Chicoine, I’m curious about the off-chance that we might have common ancestry, and to thank him for his set — especially for dropping Galaxy 2 Galaxy’s Jupiter Jazz.

So, couple of weeks later, he accpeted my contact request on FB, which in turned allowed me to learn about Matthew’s blog, Hit It and Quit It.

Blog?

No!

The place is a treasure trove of podcasts by Matthew and others, but also download links to some of his productions and other goodies, like, forexample, links to seven recordings of Jeff Mills’ radio show in the 80s!

Whoa!

Don’t miss out on this one!

Hot on the heels of his new album, DJ T. — who you might know as the co-founder of German label Get Physical — offers us a two hours and 13 minutes mix of nice House and TecHouse floorburners via FACT Magazine, a site you can’t live without unless you just didn’t know about it.

Two hours and 13 minutes…

Hhhmmm…

Looks like I’m no longer the only one doing post-CD-length mixes! 😉

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: MIMS

Leave a comment

Some of you might already know the man, but DJ Lexis, better known to his mom as Alexis Charpentier, maintins a kick-ass website/blog with tons of great (and I mean GREAT) podcasts and edition number 025 released yesterday is one of the best, in my humble opinion.

Music is My Sanctuary should be part of your RSS Feeds and bookmarks, take my word for it!

Enjoy!

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: clap ya hands!

Leave a comment

I give in!

I’m jumping on the bandwagon and I sing their praise: The Phenomenal Handclap Band.

After seeing their name pop left and right over all my usual Web sources and friends’ FB statuses and tweets, I decided to check out their eponymous album. So I forked over 10$ to iTunes (didn’t feel like waiting for a CD, but stupid me, I didn’t think of checking on eMusic, first, if they had it, and they did) and gave it a good listen.

WHOA! Cool!

What’s more, I discovered in the meantime that the band is fronted by Quinn Luke, better known (to me at least) as Bing Ji Ling, a name I discovered through the Ubiquity’s Rewind series of covers complilations, where he had notably done a very cool cover of AC/DC’s (You Shook Me) All Night Long.

Now, I’ve read here and there that TIHCB were come kind of 70s revival band, but if you ask me, they are just doing an americanized (I mean that in a nice way) version of Cosmic Disco!

In other words: if you like the Handclap band and don’t know Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, you need to get into them, and if you know L&PT but haven’t heard of the Handclap band yet, don’t waste any more time!

Wigald Boning and Joris Voorn
Wigald Boning and Joris Voorn

This was announced a few weeks ago by Compost via Soundcloud and it hit the stores this week.

It will definitely be featured on my upcoming Cosmix vol. 4 mix!

I’d never heard of Boning before and he seems to be quite an eccentric and interesting character…

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: today’s two giveaways

swns

The excellent young band Standing Waltz, from Quebec, are releasing their first video off of their first album, Non-sens, released in early May.

Cité phosphore is a cover from 80’s band Rational Youth (still have that on 45!).

You can watch the video here (sorry, I couldn’t embed it) and you can download the mp3 by right-clicking the album cover image.

As for today’s other givaway, it is Champion’s new single off of his upcoming album, Resistance.

Fairtilizer Track 42904 s

That single should be re-released, if you ask me, because he was majorly upstaged by some guy called Michael, yesterday.

The song is called Alive Again and you can download it by clicking the image to the left.

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: what’s YOUR favourite Michael Jackson song?

1 Comment

Mine is either

or

I admit I’d have a harder time picking a favourite solo MJ track, but if I was given no choice to do so, I’d say Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, and a special mention to Scream for the amazing video (embedding disabled by request in both cases).

Oh! And

Now, I wonder what was Marie’s favourite MJ song, cuz now she can get a private show!

La suggestion musicale du jour de Monsieur Seb

Leave a comment

Je vais faire un petit effort pour pas effrayer les ayatollahs de la langue et du nationalisme en ce jour de Fête Nationale du Québec, alors j’écrirai mon billet quotidien de suggestion musicale in French.

Voici donc ma suggestion du jour:

Paul Piché, ce pilier du temple du 24 juin.

Toutefois, mon nationalisme à moi ne peux pas se contenter des nostalgiques versions du passé.

Alors voici pour vous, < ironie >Québécoises et Québécois de souche, francophones et adeptes du Nous inclusif!< / ironie >

Y’a pas grand chose dans l’ciel à soir (remixé par Frivolous) – Paul Piché
Paluche

Je vous laisse sur cette petite pensée de Marc Desjardins: «Il ne faudrait pas oublier que Saint-Jean-Baptiste est mort martyr, la tête coupée, en récompense pour une danse à 10… Il faut tout de même un brin d’auto-dérision ou de cynisme pour fêter le Québec ce jour-là…»
