Here’s a little something to help pep up your morning from Gabriell of the group Boys of Brianza. I know I needed it on my commute to work. I thought I was on the NPR station and ended up on a station that played commercials through my whole trip to work.

French electro trio Minitel Rose is back in the game. Two years after their critically acclaimed first album, The French Machine (Futur, 2008), Raphael, Romain and Quentin have teamed up with K7! Records for their sophomore release Atlantique.
Simple but sophisticated; Retro; Futurist; Positive; Romantic – just a few of the words that come to mind when describing Minitel Rose’s sound. Falling somewhere between rock and dance (the band loves rock drums and dance synths), Atlantique was composed largely in a rented house overlooking the ocean in Quentin’s hometown of Pornic, France. “We wanted to get an album composed in a special place during a special period, in a special time of our life,” Quentin says. “It’s very important for us to be in an atypical place to compose, we are always inspired by what we can see searching for a melody in front of the sea is different that in a big town or in a desert.”

Record Makers & French duo Acid Washed are proud to announce the release of their eponymous 12″ with remixes from The Hacker, Mickey Moonlight, DANGER, Daniel Haaksman, Digikid84, Lazy Flow, Jungle Fiction and Stuff.
Since the release of their debut album in March, Acid Washed’s luscious disco has steadily gained admirers from all corners of the globe. From Cannes to New York, Berlin to London with fashion designer Jenny Packham, their reputation as DJs and live performers is growing. Their collaboration with British designer Anthony Burrill has provided hypnotic visuals, accompanying them wherever they go on this non-stop tour.
The time has now come for Record Makers to release their signature track, Acid Washed. The euphoric finale to every live set has undergone the deluxe remix treatment from the very best in established and upcoming producers.
The Hacker, long-time Miss Kittin collaborator and old friend of Acid Washed, shows why he is universally held in high regard. His minimal adjustments have maximum impact, a massive horn rising out of this sublime effort. Man Recordings supremo, Daniel Haaksman, adds a touch of funk mondial to the original, resulting in a slow-burning tropical house re-rub. Harpsichords float over eerie, space electro as DANGER cements his reputation as the dark horse of the French electronic scene with a future classic.
Mickey Moonlight took time out from finishing his debut album to contribute, Ed Banger’s finest pushing the highs and lows of the original into a swirling, summery mix. The hell-raising Young Gunz crew turn up with two of their finest, Digikid84 and Lazy Flow demonstrating why the party never stops when they are around. Icelandic teenagers, Jungle Fiction, serve notice of their undoubted potential with a sensational slice of French-house. Wrapping up proceedings with a dark disco cut is Stuff, a Grenoble based producer signed to Space Factory Records.
