Guest appearance on Morceaux Choisis
Dec 21, 2011 Blogging Bee, Music, What to listen to
My friend Faskil was kind enough to invite me over his weekly podcast called “Morceaux Choisis”. It’s a weekly 30min podcast where he presents some of his favorite tracks (all possible genres your head can ever think of) taken out of his personal music collection.
This week on MC77, I had the chance to present one of my favorite trip hop bands, Pretty Lights. I apologize for my voice on the record, it was pretty bad (flu + too much party; am still laughing at it), sorry ’bout that 
(besides my French accent doesn’t help, and don’t ask me why I said Pretty Lights’ Derek name with the French/English accent).
Anyways without further due go here and enjoy.
PS: The third track of the show rushed old band memories from 2003. I hope the friends who listen remember that special day we played this song in Beirut.
Cheers

Commix – Resident Advisor podcast 229
Oct 23, 2010 Blogging Bee, What to listen to
If you’re searching for something interesting to listen to for your weekend, search no more and go grab RA’s latest podcast by Commix.
It’s been a while I haven’t listened to an RA podcast for the lack of time probably and maybe because what they offered in their past podcast didn’t fit what I was searching for. So as I wandered around the iTunes podcast folder and after reading the little description on Commix set, I didn’t hesitate.
I had no idea who Commix were until today. Their world revolves around Drums and Bass, a style that I miss listening to (again lack of time) but they decided to make a house and techno set for the RA podcast.
RA says
House and techno probably aren’t what you expect when you see the word Commix. But George Levings and Guy Brewer have been full of surprises of late.
This set is just pure beauty and a sure bet for an amazing journey into the meanders of your mind. It’s everything I was searching for today: Finesse, darkness and depth. It’s on the edge of deep house and techno with minimalistic elements, yet it fits in none of the genres.
Both of us have slightly different tastes in house and techno music, so we wanted both sides of what we’re into to be represented properly. We were also keen for the mix to have a good dynamic and flow to it
The dynamic is there and it shows in the continuous and coherent flow this set is taking. Their mixing skills is second to none, kudos for that.
You’re hooked onto the flow since second 1. You eventually snap out of it once you realize that the audio experience you heard should be shared and spread to others. No doubt you have to listen to it again and again (thing that I am doing while writing this post).
So if you’re searching for something out of the ordinary, trippy and brainy, you know what to do. It’s a set that fits this winter mood Europe is slowly getting sucked into, but it will also fit a nice sunset on the other side of the globe.
I thank RA for their inspiring little description that made me want to listen to more of Commix (and the other podcasts I have missed too). I’ll surely be checking out Commix’ work.
