RISQUEE 029EP
|
Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts is never one to shy away from fresh contrasts in his works, and there are no exceptions here -- all manner of dark-to-light, flacid-to-hard, and identifiable-to-WTF? moments. "Histories Vraies" brilliantly soundtracks the inevitable future moment when a season premiere costumed viewing party for Game Of Thrones unknowingly gets their punch spiked. "Far Is The Field" counterattacks with the next level fusion of Sun Ra Arkestra-esque transmissions wrapped around a Humpty Dance-on-steroids bassline. Long-burner "Whatever's Inside" rocks a sultry belly dancer's theme song at an FM and modular synth bazaar on Uranus.

These tracks were given to Musique Risquée more than ten years ago and waited since then on a hard drive before they got rediscovered on a boozy night in Tokyo. They have not aged a bit.

RISQUEE 027EP

Hailing from the rank depths of SF Bay Area back-alleys and the grittiest rundown nightclubs and dive bars, DJ Milanesa Especial's sleazy magic is finally here for the world to behold. Fellow Yay Area freak and veteran fan of all things slightly askew for the dancefloor Dave Aju, managed to get DJ Milanesa in the studio for this nasty ass jam of the highest/lowest order. "Chili Dog" surely finds its inspiration in the classic Dance Mania cannon of raw shit-talking party-rocking house trax, but Aju's unique knob twists and turns here and there on co-production steers it clear into 2015.

Akufen is back in great shape with some new original material for his own label Musique Risquée -- the only label where you can find these unidentified musical objects. Five tracks of swinging, melodic madness like only Akufen can craft. If these songs don't bring you a smile, well, too bad for you.

Yoshihiro Hanno's project Radiq has beautifully evolved over the last years. From his more dubby, chilled-out experiments to his present housier sound, one thing always remains: his music has the natural feel of groove and rhythm, and it can't be clearer than on this EP for Musique Risquée. From the groove of "Gun Street Shuffle" to the soulful "Pharaohe" to the funky "Stolen Moments," this EP has it all.

Stephen Beaupré is back on Musique Risquée with a really solid record. "Gl'amour" bears his distinctive signature with a subtle use of vocals and strings colored with warm echoes layered over a big and chunky drum beat. On the flipside, "When You Have It" is an excellent way to summarize Stephen's electrifying live sets: funky, melodic hypnotic and sexy.

Jichael Mackson is now back on Musique Risquée with 2 great songs. "Locus Pocus" is what you can call a hard-edged, hypnotic techno track: loopy, bleepy, trippy and squiddly-diddly. "Sugar Hill Mountain" is what you can call a deep, warm and moody ambient song: shiny, airy, velvety and mushy-gushy. Check it yourselves. It's really worth the listening as it was worth the waiting.

RISQUEE 021EP
|
The Mole is back on Musique Risquée with his 3rd EP. Each track is a story about dreams. "Dreamer" is this weird one you can't get rid of, with an annoying voice following you around everywhere. "Oh My Stomach" is the mysterious black & white dream, with cigar reek and bad whiskey breath. "Last Ditch" is the action-packed one, with a car chase and the usual neverending sex scene at the end. You wake up, and the record is over.

RISQUEE 015CD

This is the debut full-length album by Montréal's Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts. Since the turn of the millennium, Guillaume Coutu Dumont has established himself as a near Svengali-esque character within the group of musicians associated with Montreal's Mutek festival. Though the festival's influence has spawned countless creative collaborations, none of the other players have made their own voice heard so clearly amongst the comedic madness said collaborations have so often produced. Whether working alongside Julien Roy as Egg, David Fafard as Luci, Ernesto Ferrerya as Chic Miniature, or under Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts moniker, a distinctive blend of classic house sensibilities and crystal clear digital production techniques have always revealed his unmistakable creative influence. Though classically-trained as a percussionist, his productions to date have seemed to draw greater influence from his academic research in electro-acoustics then any long-forgotten rhythmic tradition. In searching for the inspiration for his debut album, Face à L'est, Guillaume Coutu Dumont spent several months in Senegal, living with a family of musicians and traveling around the country with a jazz ensemble. It was during this trip that he became "deeply impressed by the relation between music and movement." It is this exact relationship which clearly leads the way through Face à L'est's various rhythmic excursions. Whether drawing inspiration from field recordings made of the morning in Sael Desert, or simply the happy nights spent Dakar, or the impossibly hot Harmattan winds, Guillaume Coutu Dumont weaves a rich tapestry of organic percussion and futuristic textures into an inescapably funky rhythmic whole. A debut album not to be missed.
