Two EPs by the excellent Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts. I first came across this guy (or guys?) on a pounding remix of a Shackleton track called 'Next to Nothing' and was thoroughly impressed. Apart from the ridiculously hyped Villalobos remix of 'Blood on My Hands' it seemed another rare success in making a worthwhile addition to the Shackleton original. Anyway, these EPs are of a different ilk, straight-up house, and decidedly French. There's something that holds me back from declaring 'Discotheque' on the 'Can't Have Everything' EP as my fav, for some reason it reminds me of some of Cassius's not-quite-there latter works, maybe it's a French thing, you can make up your own mind. The particular DL we've got of 'The Secret is in the Pudding' seems to be a high-quality vinyl recording with fuzz and all, but that only adds to the retro-funk badness of the record, 'Bada Bing' is killer.
DL:
1. Can't Have Everything
2. Discotheque
1. Bada Bing
2. Here We Go Again
In the meantime I'll see if I can dig up that Shackleton remix.
Happy listening!
