PICKS OF THE WEEK:

One of the key records of my ‘dance-electronic education’ was certainly the “Super Discount” series, released in 1996, of four 10 inches which, in mosaic, made up the cover of the full-album titled ‘Etienne De Crecy Present Super Discount’ via the Alex Gopher / Etienne De Crecy’s label Disques Solid, which shortly thereafter would have dropped the debut EP of Cosmo Vitelli (aka Benjamin Boguet).
More than 2 decades later I’m a Cliché, the label founded by CV in 2004, is going to unleash a triple vinyl album compilation, permeated with the imprint’s distinctive, imaginative and eclectic, electronic sound walking the line between dance club and home listening, just as the first hypnotic preview by the ever addictive French producer Julienne Dessagne, aka Fantastic Twins, with a whimsical dance-inducing fusion of hypnotic psychedelia with post-punk discordant grit, propelled by bass-heavy pounding rhythms.
