Gomma – Jerry Bouthier Mix & Edits

Say Gomma, now say Jerry Bouthier. Put them together, what do you get? Well, what you get is potentially the best collaboration since Cleopatra asked Anthony over, for a bit of rug action and a go on her asp.Hopefully with a more positive outcome.

Gomma have been around for over a decade, with releases from Headman, label owners Munk and Telonius, WhoMadeWho, Golden Bug, Diskokaine, The Glimmers and Moulineux. Ask any dance fan to list five dance labels and Gomma would feature on there somewhere.

Alan 1 – Concertmate (Bobermann Remix)

So it transpires that Jerry Bouthier is also a fan of Gomma and when he offered to put together a mix of Gomma artists, they were quite keen to see what he could throw together. For the ’100% Gomma’ mix Bouthier has combined 26 tracks, featuring well know Gomma artists, as well as tracks from Rodion, The Phenominal Handclap Band, Mercury and Dimitri From Paris, with remixes from Cut Copy, Zombie Nation, The Twelves and Clock Opera.

There’s also a four track EP release on Gomma, featuring JB edits of Munk, Alan 1, Diskokaine and Golden Bug. Release date 19th August. In the absence of any postable previews of the EP tracks, here are some edits that Jerry Bouthier made earlier. You can hear snippets of the tracks and pre-order the EP here

The Glass – Four Letter (Black Van Remix JB Edit) MP3

The full mix will be out soon, following a Gomma Club Tour, with Jerry Bouthier, Munk and Telonius

Kitsune Maison 11

I imagine when my kids are older they’ll be raving about the new Kitsune Maison # 136 on Holo-Band or whatever technology they will invent in years to come to totally alienate me from the younger generation. There needs to be a stage when your offspring grow apart from you, in fashion, music and probably drug use. It’s only right. The generation gap has shrunk, since I were a lad, but there will come a day when the kids come home listening to something that I will disdainfully dismiss as ‘not music’. I’m sure it won’t be the new Kitsune, which I like to imagine we will sit and listen to together, possibly in my potting shed. It’ll be the equivalent of taking your kid to the footy on a Saturday, a rite of passage. Something that will reach across the gaping chasm that is  the AGE GAP and unite us in a misty eyed moment of mutual comprehension. I may even play them Kitsune Maison 1, on a vintage MP3 player and it will be like playing The Beatles on a gramophone.

Cough…

Like a a rumble of distant thunder, preceding the storm,  every Kitsune Maison must come with a mini mix, melded together by the incomparable Jerry Bouthier. Here it is for your listening pleasure, get the juices going for the release on May 16th. Click the arrow to download.

In Fashion

Vivienne Westwood has taste. You may think this is a glaringly obvious statement, after close to forty years wowing the fashion world with her provocative designs, from the early punk days to her presence at this years shows in Paris, London, Milan, New York and London. To stay relevant for so long is hard to do in any field, but in the fickle fashion world, it takes someone with rare vision and a finger firmly attached to the ‘pulse’ to survive.

So how does Viv ensure her continuing relevance? Well, of course the frocks have got to be spot on for a start, but you can’t just throw a model down the catwalk without an achingly cool soundtrack to which they can shake their hips. Who you gonna call? Jerry Bouthier of course!

The French purveyors of pop perfection are on the trail again. Gildas Loaëc and ‘Andre’ Saraiva have selected some of the freshest Parisian talent for a new compilation, due out on February 21st.
