Shake Shake Go: England Skies (Parrad remix)

A quality remix of the track England Skies by Shake Shake Go, the song re-created by Parrad, who
also goes by the name Atom as part of French turntablists C2C.

It comes as part of a remix EP, featuring four versions of the track.

England Skies originally featured on the band's debut four track EP that came out earlier this year.

Shake Shake Go have just finished a series of summer festival dates, and will be announcing some autumn dates very soon.

They've already confirmed an appearance in Paris on November 5 at La Cigale.

Their debut album is expected to be released in 2016.

C2C: Live in London


French electronic act C2C are playing a sold-out show at the Forum in London tomorrow night, returning after their sell-out show at KOKO earlier this year.

The band, features four turntablists, all originally from Nantes, 20Syl, Greem, Atom and Pfel.

They've been active since 1998 and have in recent years become recognised as one of France's most innovative dance acts.

Their album tetra was released last year, and was a number one album in France. The track Down the road also topped the singles charts.

The success led to them winning a total of four awards at the Victoires de la musique awards in 2013.

So far this year they've released remixed tracks by -M- and Vitalic.

But rather than just being a studio proposition, C2C are very much at home on stage, their live sets shows that not only are they technically innovative, but are capable of generating an electrifying performance.

They've got more live dates across Europe following the London show, including sets at festivals like Roskilde. However I suspect we'll be seeing more of them in the UK before too long.

they're also in the BBC Radio one studios tonight (Wednesday) on the Phil Taggart and Alice Levine show with an interview and two tracks live between 10 and 11PM.

Victoires de la Musique awards: Best video shortlist


With the Victoires de la Musique awards ceremony taking place tonight, I thought a quick round up of some of the nominated work was in order.

In particular, I thought that a look at the four videos shortlisted for the best clip of the year deserved a closer look.

Some I've featured before, others I've not, but they all certainly give a good snapshot of music videos in France.

We'll find out who wins later tonight.

C2C: FUYA
