<description><![CDATA[
J&#8217;ai commencé à écouter Theo Parrish un peu après avoir découvert les disques de Moodyma]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.boomkat.com/media/stock_images/theoparrish-soundsculp1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="160" /></p>
<p>J'ai commencé à écouter Theo Parrish un peu après avoir découvert les disques de Moodymann et j'ai longtemps pris l'un et l'autre pour des sortes de jumeaux, notamment parce que j'avais entendu dire qu'ils avaient travaillé ensemble, étaient originaires de la même ville (Detroit) et avaient sorti des disques sur les labels l'un de l'autre. D'ailleurs, le premier maxi de Theo Parrish que j'avais acheté (chez Rough Trade, à Paris), Took Me All The Way Back, était édité par KDJ, le label de Moodymann. Puis, ces dernières années, les disques de Moodymann m'ont moins intéressé (notamment depuis son virage jazz, que je trouve trop inégal - et le fait d'avoir été déçu les deux dernières fois que je l'ai vu jouer) tandis que ceux de Theo Parrish me passionnent de plus en plus. Theo, d'ailleurs, semble dans une période très prolifique : plusieurs maxis, dont une série d'edits, sortis ces deux ou trois dernières années, qui comportaient tous des moments très ravissants. J'aime notamment son sens du rythme, des rythmiques synthétiques assez minimalistes mais qui conservent, malgré leur nudité, quelque chose de très enrobé, enlaçant. J'adore aussi sa manière de mixer dans ses morceaux des accords joués au Fender Rhodes : les réverbérations de ce piano électrique me rendent toujours assez bête, assez heureux. J'ai même rencontré Theo une fois, dans une chambre d'hôtel à Paris, avant son premier passage au Rex (organisé par Serge Nicolas). On a parlé longuement (je crois que la DJ Eva Peel était dans la chambre avec nous, avec son petit chien - mais ma mémoire me joue peut-être des tours). Je me souviens notamment de ce qu'il racontait sur Detroit et, surtout, sur l'influence de John Cage sur sa musique. John Cage ? Oui, et cela fait toujours plaisir d'entendre un producteur de house mentionner les théories de Cage, histoire d'aller au-delà des clichés hédonistes sur la musique de club. Theo parlait notamment de Cage en relation avec la musique comme bruit (ou le bruit comme musique plutôt) et j'ai toujours gardé cette liaison entre eux deux en tête. Du coup, le titre de l'album tout juste sorti de Theo Parrish me parle encore plus : Sound Sculptures - sculptures sonores. Cage aurait sûrement apprécié. Et je l'apprécie d'autant plus que, sous sa forme de double CD, cet album est un des plus hypnotiques et délectables que j'ai écoutés ces derniers temps. D'habitude, je n'ai pas le temps pour les albums doubles : trop longs, trop gavés. Mais là, il n'y a pas une minute de trop. Et cela, même si Theo fait durer ses boucles comme personne, leur donne le temps de s'installer, de prendre possession de l'espace, des oreilles. Chez lui, sur ce disque, tout dure une éternité. Mais cette éternité passe avec une délicatesse incroyable, un sens de la précision et du temps qui coule avec fluidité. A peine un CD terminé, que j'ai hâte de mettre le suivant, pour me laisser porter plus encore par ses inventions rythmiques qui sont autant de mélopées hésitant entre l'atmosphérique et le funk, la berçeuse et la danse, la ritournelle et le bruit pur. Comme un mélange entre John Cage et Prince. Sans plaisanter, ni forcer, voilà un des disques de l'année, déjà.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<li>Juan Maclean - Happy House We are serving up the freshness (sorta) here. Today we have the upcoming single from the Juan Maclean. I guarantee that this is going to melt faces and destroy dancefloors for the remainder of the year. Super emotive lyrics over a funky bongo infused dub track. I hope y'all like it.</li>
<li>Compare and contrast...I have included the recent Todd Terje edit of Chics I want your love which is getting a lot of play these days. It's a grand song and has always brought a smile to my face when I have heard it out. The edit is pretty slick too. I have also included a Moodymann (I can't kick this feeling when it kicks) where I believe Todd lifted the  idea for the intro of his edit. Either way both tracks are stellar and I am glad everyone is freaking out over Chic again.These tracks are in divshare (undownloadable) format not because we don't love ya but cuz we want to support the bands and labels that produce the tunes. PLease have a listen and go out and if you like em enough go out and by them.  Cheers.</li>

<font size="1">A sign of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/artomwambe">influence</a></font></p>
<p>As much as I love Beatport, I rarely find myself trusting the playlists they hype or the people who binge on them. But sometimes you're really bored at work and Beatport slips you an email of staff recommendations; you just have to look. Among other things, label manager <a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1177/1393502075_c798e95eef.jpg?v=0">Dave</a> suggested "Ombala Mbembo" by Arto Mwamb<span class="nametext">é</span>. According to his <a href="http://www.myspace.com/artomwambe">Myspace</a>, Mwamb<span class="nametext">é</span> is from  						Ouagadougou,  						Burkina Faso, and his latest release, "Mudhutma!" (on Munich-centered <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#38;friendid=80744406">Brontosaurus Records</a>) is perfect for someone coming off a Moodymann bender. He starts right in with tension-laden string melodies, plucky whistles and a relentless female vocal loop. Highly recommended for those who pine for soul to overtake minimalism in modern deep house.</p>
<p>Arto Mwamb<span class="nametext">é, "Noh Ngambebo" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/916981">Brontosaurus</a>] </span>(<a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/1243771-02.htm&#38;highlight=arto%20mwambe">buy</a>) (<a href="http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=916981">buy</a>) (<a href="http://www.soulseduction.com/common/item_detail.php?ItemID=171109">buy</a>)</p>
<p>On the flipside is "Noh Ngamebo," which expands Mwamb<span class="nametext">é's palate and gets my rating. Wrapping a cowbell jangle around a dark and meaty bassline and simple piano chords, the tune starts off rather low to the Earth. But it soon finds its feet at the arrival of zealous pads which attack and then mellow out. In other words, it's a potential monster on the dancefloor. If you enjoy these tunes, make sure to get yourself a copy and check out </span>Mwamb<span class="nametext">é's other tunes, which can be purchased <a href="http://www.boomkat.com/artist.cfm?a=9152">here</a> and <a href="http://www.forcedexposure.com/bin/search.pl?search_string=arto+mwambe&#38;searchfield=keyword">here</a>. Keep on eye on Brontosaurus (who were kind enough to lend me the track <strong>exclusively for one week only</strong>) as well, they've got a unique ear for talent.  </span></p>

<font size="1">Not my grandma, but a cute picture, no?</font></p>
<p>The other day I drove my grandma from my parents' house to her assisted living center.  I figured a little music would make the 45 minute drive go by a little quicker and she told me she didn't mind. Nearly blind, Grandma still stared eagerly out the window while Âme's self-titled debut filled the car with their brand of deep house vibrations. She turned to me several times during the ride to tell me she really liked the tune at the moment and chat a bit. She told me she and my grandpa and everyone they knew used to go dancing all the time. She was glad to see our generation still valued the merriment and release of simply shaking our bodies in time. I asked if I could make her a mix. Since then I've been going through my collection and <a href="http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&#38;threadid=59407#unread">asking others</a> to add in finding tunes my little old grandma would enjoy. Here are a couple which make the cut.</p>
<p>I:Cube, "Picnic Attack" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/8650">Versatile</a>] (<a href="http://www.beatport.com">buy</a>)<br />
Start your walkers! I:Cube serves up a sizzling slice of house that's all raw energy. Its descending synth riff cuts through the knotty funk bass line like a lightning bolt. Not for use before bedtime.</p>
<p>Innerzone Orchestra, "At Les" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/9922">Talkin' Loud</a>] (<a href="https://www.beatport.com/deeplink/335ce1c5f548075d281ab027471203f6b59fe542d89cbac94482bde169ac575254bfc491607c19e74d31e532f6e9c734275fc1988f356245e879aa681d47836f608e49e5f1eac2f6">buy</a>) (<a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/47483-01.htm&#38;highlight=innerzone%20orchestra">buy</a>)<br />
Perhaps the "classiest" selection of the bunch, the piano work in "At Les" is simply stunning. The tune thrums in anticipation conjured up by those blurry chords. I'd like my grandma to namedrop Carl Craig every now and again.</p>
<p>Moodymann, "Mislead" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/1025">Planet E</a>]<br />
When you've been alive long enough to have seen a massive Depression, world wars of all sorts and the birth of pop music -- all that fun stuff, you probably want to cut to the chase: So where did this stuff come from? Moodymann imbues midnight blue vibes with this scene-setting track, awash in dreamy drones, and answers politely.</p>
