Our HQ will be closed during August so let's celebrate with all the pals from Electrone, Alt_r, Minimal1st & Labelle the last week end scheduled. Will be there this friday spinnin' with my mate Pix from 2'30 to 4. I swear I will not drink too much !

Learn from the past to understand the present

A gold mine, full of pepits !!! On Dj History's website you'll find interviews of all the godfathers of electronic musics, Franckie Knuckles, Dj Pippi, John Peel, Mark Moore, Fabio, Gilles Peterson, ... very long and detailled interviews, certainely the best ones I ever read !

LEARN FROM THE PAST

Action ... cut !

In Lille lots of talents are concentrated, djs, vjs, liveacts, performers, ... here's another actor of our scene, Eric Llabres. Go & check his website ELLPROD, you'll find on it interviews and lots of video footages of parties such as Name 2007 or 10daysoff (Laurent Garnier, Ivan Smagghe, Ellen Allien, Richie Hawtin, ...). His work is impressive as it's always hard to find good & professional documents about electronic parties.

You're not alone

A website called "Vie de merde", huge, hilarious, real, sorry girlz & boyz it's in french.

VDM

"Aujourd'hui j'ai été au ciné avec la fille qui me plaisait depuis des mois. Après les pubs, elle a dit qu'elle allait aux toilettes. Elle n'est pas revenue dans la salle..." VDM

"Aujourd'hui, j'ai avoué à mon père que j'étais lesbienne. Le seul truc qu'il m'a dit c'est : "Ça ne m'étonne pas, toutes les lesbiennes sont moches..." VDM

"Aujourd'hui, un petit garçon dans la rue m'a montré du doigt en disant à sa mère : Regarde maman, c'est Sarkozy !" VDM

Beautifull Looser ... one more

Please consider me as a dumb guy with a pathetic sense of humor and I'll be proud of it cos' here's one of my favorite beautifull looser. Will Ferrel, formerly known for his appearances in the famous Saturday Night Live, is definitely in the club of the hilarious actors but not the french one as the majority of the movies he appeared on arrived directly on the dvd market in my France. "L'exception culturelle" only goes in one way, so why not considering Will as Underground ? Hmmm ok I push a bit too forward I know. Hav' a look on "Blades of glory", "The Legend of Ron Burgundy" or "Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby", 3 masterpieces of complete mental disorder !

You used to be allright. What happened ?

07/06/08, Main Square Festival in Arras on the main place of the city, 27 000 people, a magic moment ! So great to see Radiohead again in France, the last time I saw them it was on the day of the release of Kid A. The best concert I saw in my life so for this day in north of France the level was higher than ever. I was just disappointed by 2 little mistakes on "Climbing Up Walls" and "Exit Music" but hey we're all humans ... hmm no, Thom Yorke and the whole radiohead crew are not, they're much much more than that.

Legendary !

Hav' you ever think of what/who you'd be if you weren't engaged, for those who cared or who searched a wingman here's a mentor to follow eyes wide shut, Mister Barney Stinson.
Hav' a look to his legendary blog and more specially to his awesome "Bro Code" :
