The best is to listen to it and sing it as loud as you can :

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today

I want to be a part of it - New York, New York

These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep

And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it - in old New York

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you - New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps

And find I'm a number one, top of the list, king of the hill

A number one

These little town blues, are melting away

I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York

And if I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere

It's up to you - New York, New York

Struggle everyday

Ok, Amy didn't show @ Rock en Seine this week end but you know how rock star life's hard, look what she had to do every day after waking up !

Dancefloor Philosophy

I never mentioned this x-cellent blog ruled by the parisian D-i-r-t-y crew http://www.alainfinkielkrautrock.com/ . U can find tons of pepits concerning dance music (songs, mixes, itws, pixs, ...). The team sent 2 late summer mixes which blew my head, one for the dancefloors and one for the sofa

Now I know why i'm happy everyday

Scientists found that after listening to just 50 minutes of uplifting dance music, the levels of antibodies in volunteers' bodies increased.
They also found that stress hormone levels, which can weaken the immune system, decreased after being exposed to the music.
Volunteers who played a percussion instrument along with the music also benefited from the immune boost.
The researchers, from Sussex University and the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, say their findings demonstrate how music could be used to help aid patients' recovery while in hospital.
In a separate, unpublished, study they also found that playing music while a patient was under anaesthetic during an operation also helped to lower the levels of harmful stress hormones.
Dr Ronny Enk, a neurocognition expert at the Max Planck Institute, who led the research, said: "We think the pleasant state that can be induced by music leads to special physiological changes which eventually lead to stress reduction or direct immune enhancement.
"Stress reduction probably plays an important role, but the stress reducing effect seems to be different for various types of music."
The researchers tested 300 people, asking them to listen to 50 minutes of happy, joyful dance music or to a random collection of tones.
They found that levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, decreased significantly in those listening to the dance music compared to the control group. After listening, the levels of the antibody immunoglobin A, the immune system's first line of defence, were heightened.
The researchers did not test whether different types of music would have different affects, but other studies have shown that personal preference for music can also influence the stress reducing impact it can have.
Dr Enk added: "We'd expect that different kinds of music might show different physiological and immunological effects. Not only the music itself is important but probably the personal appraisal of the listener will also be important. We did not use relaxing music, but rather exciting music that were joyful dance tunes from different centuries.
"Listening to music in hospitals might show benefits for patients and may for example lead to shorter recovery times, but we are still to test this ourselves."

Loco ? Si, mucho mas cada ano !

Back next week for the 3rd time at my favorite club in Spain : Rachdingue. Near Barcelona in the middle of the mountains this legendary club, well known during the 70's as all the international jet set (u know the real proper ones with Mick, Marianne and so on) was there to party every weekend of summer, is simply one of the most beautiful place i ever played. Designed by Salavador Dali, you can still feel the magic in the air there and the crowd is always hot and decadent. This year let's celebrate with dear friend Mathiu and his dad their 40th birthday ! Will be playin' with Blindoff certainely on the terrace, Pet Duo will be on the inside room ! Great to see u back on August 30 catalan people, I'm really lookin' forward for this night !!!

All we are sayin' is give peace a chance

Georgia vs Russia, China vs Tibet, times are hard for peace makers, go & check www.peaceportrait.com from my dear friend Fanny.
«PEACE», a performance by Fanny Bouyagui, a multimedia artist. The pictures are taken in Fanny's outstretched arm – with an emphasis on her symbolic tattoo PEACE. A gratuitous and ephemeral act, a photographic kidnapping dedicated to world peace.

First time I put my face on the blog, holy shit !

Old school still so cool

Lost in K Hole

I've always been really disapointed by movies about club culture but I think this one could be great. No better place than Berlin and no better man than Paul to play the superstar dj, as he knows exactly how to act like a cunt ... or like a great guy, depends who's in front. Hardly waitin' to check if it could be a generational movie (my generation ???) or a shit like some movies like "It's all gone Pete Tong"

I miss You Johnny Drama

The boyz are back in town !!! Can't wait to see my hero Drama, on HBO this September the best tv show ever, season 5.

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.
