Hippie Dance emerged onto the label circuit in 2011, thanks to Paris-based co-founders Superpitcher (Aksel Schaufler) and Rebolledo (Mauricio Rebolledo), otherwise known as the Pachanga Boys. From deep, minimal, progressive house, to woozy, feel-good disco, Hippie Dance has seen special releases from the likes of: Roman Flugel, Rebolledo, Superpitcher, Sascha Funke, Paulor, Fantastic Twins and more. The label is also home to the infamous 15-minute sunrise sensation ‘Time’ by the Pachanga Boys. You And Your Hippie Friends is Hippie Dance’s sub-label.
Review: Fantastic Twins is the (not so) new guise of Julienne Dessagne: so yes there's actually only one of them despite the name. However, you may recognise the name as she is one half of Saschienne with Berlin legend Sascha Funke. Slow burning Italo/synthpop-noir of "The New You" first surfaced on the interwebs at the end of 2016 to much fanfare and finally we can thank Rebolledo and Superpitcher for releasing a whole EP's worth of darkly seductive music courtesy of their wicked Hippie Dance imprint. Starting out with the brooding epic "Shake It", there's also the creepy and reductionist groove of "Hey" in addition to the post punk attitude of "Time Science" featuring Dessagne's deadpan vocal delivery which is "tres chic!'
Review: The latest missive from the Pachanga Boys' consistently impressive Hippie Dance label is an expansive affair. It gathers together a quintet of tried-and-tested dancefloor workouts, beginning with the dark and woozy, post-punk house throb of Paulor's "La Race". The Pachanga Boys weigh I with a previously unheard edit of Roman Flugel's wonky, bass-heavy box-jam "Deo", before Julia Dessagne dons the Fantastic Twins alias on the creepy, organ-heavy pulse of "Holiday". Elsewhere, Kaspar Bjork delivers a slick but atmospheric chunk of synth-heavy house ("Choir of Young Ravers"), and Zombies In Miami get all trippy and hypnotic on the mystical house of "Flashback Mantra".
