DJ's love Contact by Brigitte Bardot - David Holmes used it in his fantastic Essential Mix, and now German minimal-heroes Booka Shade put an edit (with added beats) in their mix for the highly regarded DJ Kicks series. If you're into electronic dance music, you cannot afford to miss this edition, it has old faves, brand new tunes and some weird but good shit (Drums, by Tubes, for example). The song written by Serge is a spacey classic, it was even used by now defunct Dutch internet provider Zonnet for an add campaign. That version was sung by former MTV Europe presenter Simone Angel (in case you're wondering: Dutchie Simone is now living in Belize), who scored a hit with it around the year the 2000 in Holland.
Most covers stay close to the original, including the bleeps and the noise, but some (take John Zorn) make it totally their own. Japanese popgeniuses Pizzicato 5 throw in some Kraftwerk for good measure.
