alan braxe (part of stardust) / french house

quote:


Alan Braxe / artists (A)
Real Name: Alain Qu�me
Profile: Alain Qu�me first jumped on to the scene with "Vertigo", released under Thomas Bangalter�s label Roul�. His alias (Alan Braxe) is an homage to his home town in France. Along with Thomas Bangalter and Benjamin Diamond, Alain produced the biggest dance track in electronic music�s history. Stardust�s "Music Sounds Better with You" was an instant hit, and they made a music video to go along with it. If you watched music networks at all in 1998 or 1999, you would have seen it several times a week.
He is the cousin of DJ Falcon (Stephane Qu�me) and Quartet (Delphine Qu�me).


from discogs



alain, along with one of the dudes from daft punk, made this bomb 10 years back. today, people like me are still waiting for this genre to rise. it looks like its controlled by the snobby french as new comers are constantly shut down :P but anyway, I heard a tune which was just released on a hed kandi cd set, and it blew me away. this remix is perfect for summer

c0r in music discussion version: download and listen to this song with the windows down, you're gonna enjoy it.

I had a copy of Curtomised by Quartet for ages, and I only found out about six months ago that it was by Delphine Qu�me. I shocked, but I love those little discoveries.

this is red carpet radio bubblegum zima tripe

french house is pepe bradock, early daft punk, nicolas chaix, dj deep, st germain, franck roger etc

it might be french, but this has little to do with house music


yuck, sorry

I was going to disagree with you, because I like commercial house a lot, but then I listened to the sample. Yuck is correct.

This has about as much to do with house as Rihanna does with hip-hop.

hey nef the first and last videos you posted sound more like chicago/deep house, carrying french influences


wicked tho


the genre IS expanding slowly, check this out. this is from a kickass italian producer i'm trying to push called Le Batman

mm, well they are definitely french house productions. the last one though is definitely more ny oriented, and it is a later production. the first is just a classic dj deep production, one of the central figures of the parisian deep house scene



here's another

I have found a lot of good stuff on french-express but this sounds like it's trying to be more of that nu-80's sound.

I'm stoked to check out all the other true french house tracks in here though, thanks.

Been a fan of both Kris Menace and Lifelike for years now. They both sort of went downhill for a bit but I dig their latest stuff.

i don't mind the cheesy commercial french stuff. it makes me feel good and that's all that matters.

Posted by Leon on Apr-24-2009 06:40:

hookers dont steal your vinyls and make them sound cool again


Posted by bas on Apr-24-2009 06:43:

Nicholas Chaix always cracks me up. Sounds like Nick Lechey

Sidenote: Had no idea that Pepe Bradock was French, neat.

I love French House. So similar with disco.

Together (Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon) - So Much Love To Give and Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You are my favorites.

EDIT: Wait, I realized these aren't french house.


Posted by Leon on Apr-24-2009 10:55:

say what! what made you realize that those quintessential examples aren't french house

Lifelike is always solid.
BTW: Ive found the best track from that Batman guy you are pushing:



such a good feeling from this music, trance has become so serious and over-girly-dramatic and 'busy' that its nice to get that feeling again - even if from other genres.
