98. Kiko - Midnight Magic (2002)
You may have noticed that French music exports really well - Daft Punk, Air, Phoenix, Sebastian Tellier and Mr Oizo (if only for that brilliant Levi's ad with the nodding puppet) - have all made their mark and it's all polished and pretty as expected. However, a real dark horse called Christophe Dallaca rode along and was not afraid to get his hoofs dirty and bring a load of clatter: clip-clop, clip-clop over stable disco beats. As Italo-Disco and its synthetic, spacey meanderings contrasted the banging techno that was to come in the 90's, 'Midnight Magic' sits somewhere comfortably between the two. In other words, highly recollective of Daft Punk's 'Homework.' This is the only kind of shit of its kind that I can happily play in my bedroom and I'm so not a clubber.
