bonjour. bonjour. bonjour. bonjour. bonjour. bonjour. comment-allez-vous?

allo allo! about a year ago (sheesh!) j'ai DJed une trés swanky function pour le Gershman Y dans Philadelphia, part of le Jewish Film Festival, aprés d'une screening of le film Gainsbourg. which, by the way, i thought was pretty fun but also super weird and too long. hm, maybe i should give it another viewing. anyway. basically i played a whole heap of french musique, vintage et moderne, for theoretical (and to some extent actual) dancing purposes.

alors! le traque-listé c'est below. and you can download the whole dang (fairly silly, and, unsurprisingly, rather serge-heavy, but still super fun) set [1 hr 37 m] right here, parfait for your next froo-froo frenchy soirée [try right-clicking if it gives you trouble].

2000s mixburst #7: frenchies

how about a quickie? these have been getting long, so i thought this one would be nice and simple. sadly, french house has not been especially dominant in the past ten years – at least, not as made by french people – despite the looming (er, gleaming?) shadow cast by discovery over the decade... even so, i felt like i was leaving out something important as i set out to make this mix, which at one point was just going to be multiple tracks each from daft punk, phoenix, and justice – then i thankfully remembered yelle, and i slotted in braxe/falke too to be nice. but it wasn't until i wrapped this up that i realized i'd forgotten the nuttiest, fruitiest frenchiest freaks of them all...those nutsos nôze! how could i forget "remember love"?? d'oh! oh well, will have to try to include it elsewhere. in the meantime, get yr filter-disco on:
