Parlophone France 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: The new single by Ludovic Navarre aka St Germain is "Sittin' Here" taken from his last self titled album released last year. The original's spiritual Afro groove was sublime but gets some pretty sweet remixes by the likes of Boddhi Satva; whose rendition stays true to the original's vibe but injects it with another authenticity which is fantastic. The always impressive Atjazz gets onboard and provides his signature deepness to the track which is one of the highlights. On the flip another track from the album "Real Blues" gets a terrific remix by French powerhouse DJ Deep & Roman Poncet. Their exotic and powerful remix is reminiscent of their Sergie Rezza material and just sublime!

Review: While we waited 12 years for St Germain's fourth album, mercifully we haven't had to wait so long for these life-affirming remixes of "How Dare You" to land on vinyl. Released last year digitally, they're now ours on wax for a limited run. Each rendition tells a whole different story as Atjazz adds a rock solid kick but retains full African percussion, Terry Laird raises heaven with powerful evocative house feel while Boddhi Satva takes us right back to the roots. Romain Poncet & DJ Deep close the show with a Chicago slap down of Trax proportions.
