Vive La France and their wonderful filtered house music!

French house music crashed into our beloved music scene around the mid 90’s, and in my eyes, created a worldwide revolution, changing how we all looked at electronic music production of that time. 


Daft Punk’s brilliant, game changing LP Homework landed in 1996, like a breath of fresh air for lots of us who live for exciting new music. 

Now! I don’t care how many thousands of times that i’ve heard Stardust’s, Music Sounds Better With You…it was a worldwide smash…FOR A REASON!…None of us had heard this heavily compressed, filtered, sidechained style of production done at this level before…and we lapped it up. 

As most of you will already know, Stardust was released on this very iconic record label, Roule (Roule Eh) and to date has sold well over 2 million copies worldwide. 

This label which was founded by Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter, had a run of releases around the mid to late 90’s, just tipping into the naughties. 

This is one of my personal favourite EPs from the label, and from Bangalter himself, and features this aptly named track COLOSSUS! 

I believe that In all areas of the arts, we need people who freshen things up, change the dynamic and raise the bar…and in the mid 90’s those ultra cool French, certainly did….. just that.
