This is not your standard brand of French House. That is to say, the releases CC has to offer are a far, far cry from the electro-house bug that bit after last summer's Daft Punk Alive 2007 tour. But there's no reason for an elitist alarm-- this stuff isn't only for the ever-more-pretentious "mnml" community. (RE: the label's myspace quote: "MINIMAL MY ASS.")
Will Lynch and I first found out about Circus Company from reading Philip Sherburne's adorations, but we really fell in love with them when we found some of their 12"s (Le K's Hurluberlu, Jean Nipon and Ai's With All Your Power, and Audio Werner's Flatfunk) on our second trip Berlin's famous Hardwax record store, home of the most life-changing and mind-blowing selection of records I've ever had the honor to browse. In my fast and furious education in electronic dance music, this label is still one of my favorite discoveries. I can't emphasize enough how unique and awesome these sounds are.
So if you want to start your Friday night with some incredible funky French beats, tune in from 6-7pm and shake your butt. If this can't put a smile on your face and a groove in your feet, maybe you should get yourself and analyst. Or a louder stereo.
(If you like it, I'll be posting an mp3 of the live mix after the fact.)
Cheers,
Sarah Joy (of Future Daze -- bi-weekly Fridays from 10p-1a, with Lynch, on your very own WZBC)
