{"product_id":"vox-low_relecture-vinyl_2020_lad","title":"RELECTURE (vinyl)","description":"A re-reading of one of the most striking French electronic albums of 2019 by some of the current scene's finest, including Pilooski and Tolouse Low Trax.The story of Vox Low is that of those Parisian disco and punk fans who tried their luck, under the name of Think Twice, during the hysterical period of the Parisian French Touch in the early 2000s. This movement, which was sold to us at the time as an unprecedented musical revolution in the land of baguette and sausage, turned out to be nothing more than a bling-bling scam worthy of Rocancourt: whatever you do, in the end, it's always the bourgeois who come out on top. Despite solid backgrounds, Think Twice's music didn't find an echo at the time. In 2018, times have changed: who still wants to have fun? Jacques Chirac is losing his mind, bedridden in a private mansion in the 6th arrondissement of Paris behind heavy velvet curtains, the Daft Punk hide their baldness under motorcycle helmets and everyone now listens to music via Bluetooth with a monthly digital subscription. No more hedonistic right-wing disco, put away your Donna Summer records - no longer in the mood for that - and take out Eliphas Levi's big black book: Can, The Fall or Genesis from the Peter Gabriel era. It's time for punk urgency, depressive and skeletal Krautrock and great shamanic hypnosis. It is now under the name of Vox Low that this gang of black jackets from Porte de St Ouen officiates.PILOOSKI:DJ and composer, Pilooski became known through his edits (notably Franky Valli's Beggin'), the DIRTY compilations, his electro group Discodeine, his productions for Tristesse Contemporaine, Perez or Hypnolove as well as his collaborations with Jarvis Cocker or Baxter Dury.TOLOUSE LOW TRAX:The ethos of Tolouse Low Trax aka Detlef Weinrich stands out in his numerous releases on labels such as Idle Press, Infiné, Karaoke Kalk, Kunstkopf, Neubau, Themes For Great Cities, Antinote or Cómeme. The German producer is no newcomer to the scene: still an active member of Kreidler and Toresch, he is the man behind the famous Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf. His productions as Tolouse Low Trax explore afro-baroque elegance through obscure arpeggios leading to a slow and hypnotic liberation.ABSCHAUM:Since 2010, the French trio Abschaum, led by Chris Poincelot, has been navigating wild territories. As if to better release the subtle tension of their music: a definitively krautrock heritage mixed, intertwined, kneaded with the influences of an enraged Alan Vega. Because this heritage, its context, its aesthetics are not insignificant. Hypnotic, synthetic loops, saturated riffs and dark vocals, Abschaum, \"vermin\" in German, has rocked its ears to the sounds of Spacemen 3, Ash Ra Tempel and Can.ORESTT:Boss of the Evrlst.inc label and the famous Nice record store of the same name, Orestt is also an eminent and rare producer.A handful of maxis have been released under his name, notably on I'm A Cliché, Cosmo Vitelli's label.He is here for his first \"remix\" in the same vein as his productions: synthetic, dark and hypnotic.« INCANTATORY KRAUTROCK. » --- LES INROCKS ---« A MASS OF NEW WAVE AND ROCK! » --- CULTUREBOX ---« The rhythm is stubborn, it bangs its head against the wall of sound, in an incantatory krautrock, in a mechanical new-wave: normal, Ivan Smagghe is producing. Survivors of the group Think Twice and its furious pile-up of house, hip-hop and rock, the duo Vox Low continues to gallop, like James Murphy, on the borders between these different factions of music to dance to in the cold room or the straitjacket. And comes back with an album as frigid as it is lascivious: the light in question can only be a black light. » --- LES INROCKS ---","brand":"Vox Low","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310287208792,"sku":null,"price":20200228.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381559200_f1a1af5e-c85a-43d2-b925-93c2d8b2d519.jpg?v=1760317942","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/vox-low_relecture-vinyl_2020_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
