Pepe Deluxé - Queen Of The Wave - out on Catskills Records

Friday 03 February 2012, 12:09

Pepe Deluxé - Queen Of The Wave
(CD/LP) Catskils RIDCD23, 2012-01-30

Queen of the Wave is the fourth record from Finnish duo Pepe Deluxé. Their first album, Super Sound, released in 1999 on Catskills Records, has aged quite much since then. Their second one, Beatitude, from 2003, saw them starting to write real songs, with arrangements to be filed between DJ Shadow, The Herbaliser and The Beatles. It was one of the major electronic album releases of the year. Pepe Deluxé came back in 2007 with Spare Time Machine, a tripped-out, psychedelic masterpiece that didn't really fit in any category anymore. So to say we were expecting this new album is no exaggeration, and this is indeed a new, in-your-face, kind of eccentric thing. From bizarre pop to 60's psychedelic rock, from science-fiction to metaphysics, from heavy drums to pastoral folk, this is an intense piece of music excellence that won't fit in the big beat/future jazz niche the band used to blend in. Favorite tracks include the prog-rock-ish Queenswave, the big-beatlesy A Night And A Day, the trip-hop ballad My Flaming Thirst and the ravaging Queen-on-peyote The Storm. Already a contender for the best albums of the year selection!

Upcoming Music

Gyedu-Blay Ambolley - Simigwa - out soon on Academy LPs

Sunday 08 August 2010, 04:06

Gyedu-Blay Ambolley - Simigwa
(LP) Essiebons EBL 6133, 1975 / bootleg reissue by Dix Records, 2010 / soon to be official reissued by Academy LPs, 2010

A very limited reissue of extremely rare Afro beat album from Ghana, 1000 copies only... alas it's a bootleg and you really should wait for the Academy LPs official reissue to happen later this year. Those US guys have a quality standard so much higher than cheap bootleg releases! And the album should be worth the wait cos' it's and amazingly rare 1975 Afro-funk album from Ghana! Gyedu-Blay Ambolley's name became synonymous with the 'Simigwa' dance craze, with the "Me Simigwa" single rocketing him to stardom in the mid 70s. This album followed, and is packed with infectious Afro-funk dancefloor treats - raw vocals, hot Hammond, big brass and those extended percussive grooves that can't fail to get you in the mood for dancing.

Interview de Stephen Coates (The Real Tuesday Weld, french version)

Thursday 12 January 2012, 14:49

Stephen Coates (The Real Tuesday Weld)
(Interview de Nicolas Ragonneau pour Paris Djs, janvier 2012)

Stephen Coates est un homme de masques, d'illusions et de faux-semblants. Depuis la fin du XXe siècle, et sous le pseudonyme étrange et féminin de The Real Tuesday Weld (l'actrice blonde d'Il était une fois en Amérique), il a signé des albums inclassables et mémorables comme I, Lucifer (2004), The London Book of The Dead (2007) ou The End Of The World (2008). C'est un monde baroque et romantique à la mélancolie douce-amère, dont Londres est le théâtre exclusif, et The Clerkenwell Kid (un autre de ses pseudonymes) le héros récurrent.
Bien avant la mode de l'électro-swing, Stephen avait créé son propre genre musical (l'antique beat) mêlant le jazz de l'entre-deux guerres, le cabaret, l'easy-listening et l'électro. Son nouvel album, Songs for The Last Werewolf (x.php/tag/SIX%20DEGREES">Six Degrees Records/USA), sort le 16 janvier. Présenté comme la bande originale du livre The Last Werewolf de Glen Duncan (Canongate Books, 2011), ce disque est commercialisé sous la forme d'un petit livre de format carré. Son autre projet, un groupe garage-blues psychédélique formé avec le chanteur Joe Coles, Lazarus and The Plane Crash (lire la chronique de l'album Horseplay ici), vient de sortir sur son label Antique Beat. Avec une grande sincérité et son ironie coutumière, Stephen Coates revient sur la formation de The Real Tuesday Weld, la façon dont il utilise ses rêves dans sa vie, son amour pour Londres, avant le mix exclusif qu'il a préparé pour Paris DJs, prévu le 17 janvier.
