Modjo - Modjo (2001)
I think I wasn`t too clear when we talked about "sampling" some posts ago.
This technique isn`t used only in hip hop but in almost every kind of genre and this is fantastic! Music is always being reinvented throughout time.
I`m sure you have already listened many tracks that were sampled but you didn`t know that. A classical example, the track Lady (Hear me tonight) by Modjo which`s got the top of the parades for weeks in everywhere a radio existed was based on a sample by Chic`s track (here is Chic again..) from 1982 called Soup For One.
Check it out!
Well, I have a tendency to think the originals are always better. In this particular case I think both them are good. Modjo has done I good job in beggining of 2000`s joininig old Disco themes with House 4x4 style. That`s sad they stopped producing although remixes of tracks like Lady, Chillin` and On Fire are released until nowadays.

In their only cd album release you can fell the Modjo`s french disco house taste. The first track is a usual openning track. Track 3 certainly brings good memories for anyone! Tracks number 2, 7, 9 and 10 are aligned to Lady keeping the disco flavor! Track 4 just fills the bag. Tracks 5, 6 and 11 are melow songs... not my business. This one seems to be the japonese release so it also has tracks 12, 13 and 14 that include other versions. A little bit pop but still a nice house album for your collection!

Birdy Nam Nam - Birdy Nam Nam (2005)
Before I try to explain what these guys do, watch it yourself!!
As you can see, Birdy Nam Nam is formed by 4 highly skilled DJs and each of them "plays" a part of some music resulting in a new music. But it`s not just pressing play button, they are always working it out (looping, scratching, cutting and whatever). In other words, they use turntables as musical instruments!
In their first homonymous album you can check their singular music constructed from jazz, soul, disco e black music vinyls they owned. A real colourful picture of rhythms invented by these french artists.
Tracklist:
1. Ready For War, Ready For Whut?
2. Body, Mind, Spirit...
3. Too Much Skunk Tonight...
4. Transition
5. Kind Of Laid Back
6. Jazz It At Home
7. We Drummin'
8. New Birth
9. Escape
10. L'Interlude De Qualité
11. Engineer Fear
12. Rainstorming
13. II Y A Un Cauchemard Dans Mon Placard
14. Migration
15. Abbesses
16. New Steps/Breaking Barriers (Bonus Track)
17. From Here To There (Bonus Track)
DL 320
If you still have some doubt, watch the clip of "Abbesses" below! Maybe their most famous track in this album..

VA - Dirty Edits Vol. 1 & 2

Dusty forgotten records revived by the hands of new artists through their edits... maybe that`s the best way I can express these musics. Other people just call it "NU DISCO"!In these compilations you will hear a very interesting "new" way to produce music (if they produce something indeed), making the old sounds new and vice versa. Maybe for some listeners, it shows how much our the modern danceflooor music inherited from old styles and also how much it could have inherited....
Very good music!!.. I can`t say the same about the album charts..
