The music that really counts, that stays with us, is the music we hear in the womb, or at

the very least in our pushchairs. When it comes to writing your first solo album, these

deep, primary emotions naturally rise to the surface. Party de Plaisir is a guided tour

of Teki Latex’s tender years. But very much a man of his times, Teki also draws his

inspiration from club music, starting with the Seventies and working his way to the

present day, from first degree vintage disco, futurist electro pop and indie rap to wild

party music, generational sartorial anthems, standard pop and everything that makes 2007

the most thrilling year in history. In short, this is one hell of a ride in a time
machine.



Like all true pleasures - and all major successes - Party de Plaisir stands out a mile.

It’s such a rare album that failure or “credibility” don’t enter into the equation. Fear

and angst don’t belong in the pop universe. Teki Latex knows it and walks the tightrope

without a safety net, or trucker cap for that matter, to reveal the logic (although in

many ways unexpected) behind his work right up to the present day with TTC, one of the

biggest names in French rap.



It’s no small miracle that Teki Latex and the Gonzales-Renaud Letang duo teamed up for

Party de Plaisir, a little like Timbaland and Justin. Renaud Letang, formerly Jean-Michel

Jarre’s live sound engineer, is one of the most respected artistic directors in France,

with a host of big names to his credit, including Alain Souchon and Manu Chao. Gonzales

emerged from the Berlin underground a few years ago as a hyper-hairy rapper, before

swapping his ironic attire for a pianist’s smoking jacket. He occasionally surfaces from

the intimate surroundings of the cabaret circuit to make the dreams of major stars come

true, in collaboration with Letang. Jane Birkin, Feist, Jamie Lidell and Charles Aznavour

have all benefited from their Midas touch. Teki Latex x (Gonzales + Letang) = Party de
Plaisir.
