I'm begining to get into French techno music

[romantico]

Anyone else out there into this? If so, could you recommend some cds or bands? Thanks!

1. French Hip Hop is awesome too!

Their are alot of middle eastern rappers who grew up in France and Rap in French and Arabic...Me being able to speak Arabic makes it much more entertaining. :)

2. If you want guitar-based techno-styled electronic music,

rinocerose aren't bad.

[RagingInMiami]

3. Isn't that what we call "freedom techno" here in the states?

[MrScorpio]

4. You want to get into some French Electro-Jazz?

I've got tons of the stuff

[romantico]

5. hey thanks!

I've been listening to Sirius ALOT Area 63, The Beat, Remix,etc. & they play ALOT of French techno. I don't speak or read French, but the titles are in French & everyone of them they play I LOVE!!!

[Wat_Tyler]

[dolo amber]

12. Oooh...can't believe I forgot Cassius

:o

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. They are also shite.

[dolo amber]

20. Wouldn't that be 'merde'?

:shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. Oui, bien sur.

Va te faire enculer.

[dolo amber]

22. Mmmm....fromage

8. It's not all French

9. Try this:

Great compilation, about a year old. Jazzy electronica, current sound:



Yeah, St. Germain is on there too.

[romantico]

10. WOW!

I thought I'd be the only one into this. This is SO COOL! Thanks everyone! Vive le France!

11. also Dimitri from Paris

a bit more uptempo retro sound... a little older, but worth the time imo:

[tishaLA]

15. I have a few of Dimitri's CDs

and I think they're very clever....but they don't qualify as Frnch techno. They're just coooooooool.

[sundog]

16. no, not techno

I think we got off subject somewhere along the way.

Someone said "French" & "Electronic" & I got all excited ;)

Dimitri's mixes are an absolute mess sometimes... but they're so campy, you gotta love em. "Sacrebleu," I believe, was his only album of originals.

His other stuff is predominantly obscure disco stuff that he reworks (different beat tracks, etc) and mixes. :7

[MrScorpio]

13. Also the Saint Germain Des Pres Cafe and Hotel Costes series

Always on my CD playlist

[sundog]

14. Haven't heard them yet

killer no doubt... I love that sound.

[derby378]

17. Manu le Malin

If you want a little of the harder stuff.

[Moloch]

18. Mylo...

He is great "drop the pressure" is one of my favorite songs.
The CD is called "Destroy Rock N Roll" is good.


Of course, Daft Punk is always good. If you like them you will love Mylo.

Here's a BBC review of the album:
