Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Rubicon

Fred Falke was the man behind that last remix, and he along with fellow Frenchmen Alan Braxe have combined to make some sweet tunes, with this proving to be a pretty big hit. So-called "French House" is in vogue these days, the term is used to describe the heavily filtered disco house style popularised by others like Daft Punk, Cassius, and most recently Louis La Roche. I'm a big fan, and you hear some of that in my "future samplers" tracks.

This particular tune doesn't have any lyrics at all in it, and it's a bit up-tempo for classic house, but it's still distinctly French and full of cheesy 80's synth brilliance. Not the most inspiring of videos either, but hey, you can't expect those crazy Frenchmen to get everything right...

More please.

The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage

The last track in my little house mix below is a remix of this song. It's a pretty awesome remix, but the original is just as awesome, in a different, groovy kinda way. It features the eclectic genius of Erlend Øye as lead singer. If you think you've heard him before, you might have. He's also fronted the Kings Of Convenience and done some tracks with Röyksopp, all of which are recommended listening. He's also from Norway. What's with these crazy Scandinavian singers? They have a real smooth, unique sound to them. Some groovy stuff indeed. Anyway check it out, it's a pretty cool video too, if you're into optical illusions.

Here's another little goodie for ya.
