Packed with brilliant collaborations, Sun People is a pan-continental party not to be missed... at least that's what the press release says! We'd love to verify those facts so, if anyone's got a copy to send, we'd be able to hear it/play it/review it... (Djouls)

Grant Phabao & Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.7
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2007-05-16

Info :
Sorry for the hectic updates, and don't worry, many special mixes are scheduled for the upcoming summer... starting with this 7th volume of the "Molesting Laura" series.
Those following the story from the beginning might have understood by now that when T.I.M.E.C. honchos Grant Phabao and Djouls are "Molesting Laura", it can mean EITHER that they're going into a latin music frenzy, OR that they're plunging into the deep world of covers, bootlegs, parodies and rare remixes... That's the case here, with an EXCLUSIVE bootie of Cee-Lo's "The One" (of Gnarls Barkley fame - check our Cee-Lo mix) acapella over a Grant Phabao instrumental. This has been sent to us through the p2p from the Booty Smash Soundsystem, who wish to keep their identity under wraps... We've also took the liberty of playing the Ty remix our dubmeister did last year, which was only available here for 24h! Don't say thank you yet, cos' you'll also get some tasty covers of the Stranglers, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, George Harrison, the Strokes and many more... (ok now you can say "Hoorray!")
