Review: Having released the music from Pete Herbet & Danton Eeprom to Inigo Vontier and Tronik Youth in the past, La Dame Noir have their sound covered when it comes to deep house, funky club, disco with baerlic toppings. This four track various artist EP brings to the table a mixed bag of remixes from the label's other known affiliates like Max Jones, Motel 77 and Middle Sky Boom. The looped vocals of Did Virgo's "Expression" - and its searing synthlines - deliver a trance-like quality, with more EBM inspired tech-trance making its way into No_LP's remix of Sara Zinger. Dawad's remix of "Morning Call" turns in something reminiscent to Miss Kitten & The Hacker, with an indie-electro shake up, replete with rock guitars, hitting all the right spots in Damon Jee's remix to "Shakira".
Review: Having made his debut on Marseille-based digital download imprint La Dame Noir back in 2014, Dame Noir is no newcomer. Even so, he's released little of note since, with "Rise & Shine" - his belated return to Le Dame Noir - marking his first solo single for almost three years. We can happily report that he's in fine form throughout, from the squelchy acid bass, trippy synth lines and locked-in drums of opener "Show Me", to the loved-up arpeggio style melodies, druggy electronics and unfussy nu-disco drums of "Rise and Shine". Sweet-voiced vocalist Alta makes a guest appearance on the atmospheric psychedelic disco chug of "Kiss ME, Kill You", a track that is immediately re-cast as an early morning space-disco throb-job by remixer Max Pask.
