Epiphanie
I do have to apologise about the lack of electro input over the last month –
my lovely 6 month old iMac decided to fail on me, thus meaning I am now writing this on a dreaded PC. Anyway to business…
Jean-Baptiste de Laubier – to me, one of the biggest influences on my music tastes over the last couple of years. Known to the music world as Para One. I have to admit to first coming across Para One due to a MSTRKRFT remix of his most well known song Dudun-Dun. Although, after a bit more research I started to really get into his releases and I still think his 2006 album Epiphanie has got to be one of my favourite, proper electro albums. I have yet to find an album which really sums up the French electro scene better, and I highly recommend it to anyone that loves this sort of music.
The likes of Daft Punk, Bloc Party, MSTRKRFT and Boys Noize are among the artists he has remixed, and he is part of the Institubes entourage, of which I am a huge fan. I think if there is anyone who is a fan of the electro scene and hasn’t listened to Para One yet then they need to go and check his music out now!
