Looking forward to this one - Braxe + Falcon with Kinjo at Standard Time!

Alain and Stéphane Quême, or Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon, are indisputable architects of the French Touch — the emotive house music conjured from looped samples with an inimitable Gallic flare that emerged from Paris in the mid 90s. A source of infinite inspiration, time and time again subsequent generations of dance music producers have cycled back and discovered the joys to be found in the stomping repetition of endlessly tweaked and filtered disco and soul sound grabs. The French Touch is the sound of the French imitating their American teachers and here and now it comes back around, just like the loops the records are built on.

That Braxe & Falcon should live separately abundant careers spanning decades only to keep coming back to the spirit of their origins feels appropriate given the form much of their music has taken — reverential but perpetually evolving. By the same token it's not hard to imagine the tracks that come out of their combined endeavor looping into the sunset, indefinitely.

Kiinjo is a sultan of sampling and a luminary of loops, sometimes flipping snippets from his own previous rap beats. They’re sped up, chopped around and layered onto house drums – an ode to the sounds of Armand Van Helden, Masters at Work and the entire French Touch movement.

Sept 20 - a night not to be missed!
