Acid Arab - Stil (France/Turkey, 2016)

The powerful Parisian electronic music crew Acid Arab has enchanted festival and club audiences across Europe in recent years with their intoxicating blend of cutting-edge Western electronic music mixed with Eastern sounds and voices. Formed in 2012 by Parisian DJs Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho, Acid Arab has refined their style by collaborating with dozens of artists from across North Africa and the Middle East. Born in the transcultural melting pot that is Paris, their concept was to create a space for Arab culture in the world of contemporary electronic music. This fantastic track in collaboration with Turkish multi-instrumentalist composer Cem Yıldızcne is proof of that. It is loved and highly requested in my DJ sets.

Pump up the volume this is *عربي * sound!

But they don't know that I dream of ice cream

But they don't know
That I say goodbye to a man
Only if I have another

Usually, if you ask the DJ on duty for the title of a track, they think twice before telling you, or they inevitably send you “affangala,” but sometimes you can get lucky:

Quiller - Denton and Cook

(I later discover that it’s the theme song of a British TV series from the ‘70s; if anyone knows anything about it, please contact me)

Weather Report - Birdland (Jaco Pastorius)
To say he played the bass is humbling and reductive. HE WAS THE BASS

For the 25th anniversary of Moon Safari, Air will perform the entire album live. How could I miss a concert tailor-made for me? More tickets in hand, my shoes getting more and more worn out, and my pockets getting emptier. But I'll die with a smile.

Jorge Ben - O Telefone Tocou Novamente (Brazil, 1970)

There is very little to say about this masterpiece of Brazilian popular music or MPB, as the genre has been referred to for some time now. Força Bruta, the album from which it was taken, quickly became a commercial and critical success, establishing Ben as a leading artist of the tropicalist movement and a pioneer in a unique style, never before known, baptized as samba-rock. It was recorded with the band Trio Mocotó and released by Philips Records in September 1970. Conceived during a period of political tension in dictatorial Brazil, its title derives from the Portuguese term meaning "brute force," an ironic title for the decidedly relaxed mood of the album.

The album introduces an acoustic music based on a sweeter, more whimsical, and less elaborate samba compared to Ben's earlier works. Its lyrics generally explore themes of romantic passion, melancholy, and sensuality, with women holding a prominent place in his songs. For the first time, this work brings in elements of identity politics and postmodernism, with irony and a reinterpretation of established idioms.
