Tepr: Hypnotease

Appropriate that we featured Yelle earlier today,  with a show celebrating the new release by Tepr earlier this week taking place tonight.

Tepr, along with GrandMarnier and Yelle make up the three members of the band, but Tepr (or Tanguy Destable as his family know him) has been active as a musician and producer before and throughout his time with Yelle.

The six track Hypnotease EP came out on Monday, on the Partyfine label, home of Yuksek.

Tepr plays in Paris alongside Yuksek, Dactylo, Myd and Boston Bud at Wanderlust.

Black Yaya: Paint a smile on me

A slice of perfect disco pop by Black Yaya entitled Paint a smile on me.

Black Yaya is the solo project by Herman Dune frontman  David Ivar.

As part of Herman Dune, Ivar's been active since 1999, but has continued to release solo and collaborative works throughout.

The song's been released on Partyfine, a label set up by producer and musician Yuksek who has been featured on this blog in the past.

He set up the label to reflect the diversity of his musical tastes, bringing together musicians from different backgrounds to work together and release some great new music.

Meanwhile, a dub version of the track by Yuksek is also circulating



Ivar is currently touring as Black Yaya, with recent dates in the UK and forthcoming shows in Germany, France and Spain.
