Men of the moment are Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, better known as Justice. Heirs to the glitzy throne Daft Punk left vacant a couple of years ago. Their album † (dagger) is a big hit among dancers and bloggers, single D.A.N.C.E. (an ode to Michael Jackson, apparently) should become the soundtrack of this summer. Gaspard and Xavier recently made a 2 hour Essential Mix for BBC Radio. And yes, that mix features a famous fille: France Gall. They put her infectious eighties-pophit Musique in the melange, see tracklist here, download a radiorip of that mix here (megaupload).
Back in the 80s Michel Berger wrote another disco-y song for France with 'musique' in the title: Tout Pour La Musique. See the video for that one here.
The Justice-guys also worked with a beautiful girl on their own album, Anna-Catherine Hartley, better known as foul-mouthed Uffie.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenVisit your blog regularly and love your comments and clips. A computer crash saw me lose France Gall's "Musique" and I'm desperate to get it again (usual sources for these things seem to be dry at the moment). Any chance? Perhaps a yousendit or something?
