japonaiserie was the term the dutch post-impressionist painter vincent van gogh used to express the influence of japanese art. artists including manet, degas and monet, followed by van gogh, began to collect the cheap colour wood-block prints called ukiyo-e prints a mini lp by benoit b, the boss of banlieue records, on which he creates a futuristic environment influenced by the japanese electronics of the 80s. a musical japanaiserie that can melt your cold cold heart.

this promo album only send to radio and tv in 1980 is now regarded as one of the best cosmic library lp of this period. from the disco tinged of test and spot to the ambient and kosmische landscapes of spectre or synchronisme you can easily see why.

i discovered benoit b through his own label - banlieue records. he’s part of a new breed of young french producers who make music without any hang-ups and that are inspired by the entire history of house and techno and everything in-between. i liked the combination of club beats with a deep, super melodic approach. the 6 tracks featured here almost make up an entire album that reflects benoit’s skills and sense of production. everything is here -from ambient experiments to heavyweight club tracks and beyond. here, bear witness to the new sound of france (even though he lives in berlin!)

tropico timelexia is a rare tropical disease. in the midst of oppressive heat and humidity, the subject loses notion of time and experiences delirium. fearless explorer benoit b takes us through his elevating journey in the depth of an atemporal and sweltering world with this beautiful new ep for peur bleue records. from the hazy and voluptuous atmosphere of zanzibar sunrise and weekend girl to the rough and throbbing vibrations of crystal fuselage and a night in gobi desert , tropico timelexia ep is a flushed expedition where humans seem to have lost control over nature.

benoit b returns to banlieue for the imprints third 12”! scatter gun arpeggios ride on top of bolstered machine rhythms. sitting somewhere between techno and experimental electro this ep is benoit b’s most accomplished material to date.

dfa / visionquest duo benoit & sergio return with some fresh and typically unique new material via matt tolfreys leftroom limited imprint.

marquee production team and live act in dance music benoit & sergio return to culprit for a second fantastic release in as many years. after last years deliciously off­kilter adjustments, the berlin­ and rome­based duo delivers a 3­song statement of dancefloor intent, with thats the party talking.

renowned for their sublime, lyrical take on dance music, dc / berlin based duo benoit & sergio return to their spiritual home of visionquest with some freshly crafted groove ridden thrills. more set in the smoke and heat of the club than their vocalised bittersweet visions, the your darkness ep showcases the duo at their dancefloor focused playful best whilst incorporating infectious vocal samples, searing melodies and pulsing rhythms

culprits 39th ep release is an altogether special affair. the masters of epic underground pop, one of the most exciting and respected songwriting/production teams in dance music, benoit & sergio enter the labels artistic canon in emphatic fashion. their two- song culprit debut glows with the duos forward thinking musical ideas, at once sweeping and intimate, and which depth and sophistication represents a leap in the los angeles-based imprints growth

dfa revisits several classic and in demand 12 inches with a new series of hand stamped white labels called *dfa white out series*. only 200 copies worldwide. dont sleep. coming soon.. benoit & sergio, lcd soundsystem and many more.

moving into 2013, the hot creations camp shows no sign of slowing down with one of their biggest releases to date from the mighty production duo benoit & sergio. debut release on the label bridge so far is an utterly stunning two tracker oozing distinctive style and pop sensibility.

after inaugurating the visionquest label with the now canonical where the freaks have no name - an ep whose a-side anthem, walk and talk, inundated the dance music world with a lovelorn soulfulness benoit & sergio return to the throne of visionquest with new ships, the more beautiful younger sister to their debut.

after a flurry of winter releases, benoit & sergio return to dfa with the >principles< ep–beach boys techno for summer nights. following in the footsteps of their >boy trouble< and >where the freaks have no name< eps, benoit & sergios >principles< continues to explore underground pop sensibilities in the context of the big-room dance floor

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

after several years perfecting and honing their art, the four musketeers: seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves, collectively known as visionquest, unleash their sonic imprint upon the earth. its debut release is an introduction to new members of the visionquest family as their great friends and production maestros benoit & sergio deliver the freaky and flavoursome >where the freaks have no name<.

the >midnight peopleö< 12inch includes two careening techno remixes by technasia, in which the paris-based producer sends the track spinning into the delirious, club-amped stratosphere. >technasia dub 1< features a series of head-spinning climaxes, >technasia dub 2< specializes in shoulder-rolling syncopation

ltd coloured edition
from his early releases as lusine onward, jeff mcilwain’s electronic explorations make up one of the more diverse discographies of the past decade and a half. effortlessly blurring the lines between techno, electro-pop and experimental composition, the texas-raised/seattle-based producer’s arrangements are meticulously constructed, but also filled with emotion and soul. with an introspective turn that’s hinted at in the record title, lusine’s fourth album for ghostly sees mcilwain diffusing the pop-leanings of 2013’s the waiting room with opaque, brush-stroked melodies washing over these new buoyant productions.
the double vinyl release includes a download code.

banlieue records starts the year 2017 with the release of blasphema eternal, the imprints sixth record, which will in fact be the only va release of the year as the label will focus on artist eps. it features five very different cuts that somehow fit perfectly together under banlieues common thread: a timeless feel, tracks that are full of detail but often understated, a breath of fresh air ready to lift up bodies and minds on the dance floor and anywhere else. first comes a club-ready dubbed out track by duo nummer, then a rather ambient tune reminiscent of idms finest moments by michigans own dmarc cantu. on the flipside, a machine funk track of an electro persuasion by label boss benoit b, followed by uptempo dance floor abstraction by mir and some lo-fi jackbeat deepness courtesy of wulffius featuring lyrics in french by jack tezam. limited to 300 vinyl copies.

ghostly founder, production maestro and experimental pop visionary matthew dear breaks out a roll call of remixers for the release of *fighting is futile*, the third single off his acclaimed album beams. the single comes accompanied by four remixes, each holding a mirror to the original and refracting it into a surfeit of fascinating new forms.
