Today is Friday, music release day. S-Pazz, Getdown Services, Chloé Caillet and Nochka have something new for your ears. Here is a selection of the week’s projects, enjoy listening!
Chloé Caillet – Here To Make You Smiile (EP)
If gray weather and autumn are getting you down, here is the remedy. Here to make you smiile is a hyper euphoric and exhilarating concentrate of solar electronic music. The Parisian DJ offers a melting pot of house, afro-house and amapiano with a very club identity. His texts go straight to the point: “ I wanna be somebody who loves me », « Give me your love, sugar », « B good » : we are here to dance and love each other, that’s all. The passionate digger, a figure of the underground queer scene, continues to play in the most renowned clubs and parties (we saw her at Sziget this summer, for example). And we understand why.
Whisper – After the chaos (EP)
The author, composer, performer and musician from the Ardennes reveals After the chaos. With this EP, Whisper has created a universe of soothing softness and slowness. After the chaos is a bubble of melancholy between alternative pop and indie rock. Her pure voice conveys sincere and vulnerable texts, always addressed to women. With authenticity, she speaks of sapphic love, the lack of the loved one and its torments. Whisper opens the door to her inner world, and we can only follow her.
Nochka – Paris, capital of solitude
Five months after the first part of the album, Nochka unveils five new titles. She had announced it: this first album is a triptych, last stage in the spring. The artist of the new dark pop generation expresses a dull and poetic anger, an ode to contemporary youth, fragile and powerful. Mourning, loneliness, quest for resilience, here dark ideas are beautifully put to music. Bewitching singing Billie Eilishminimalist productions Marguerite ThiamBaudelaire-style melancholy: welcome to the capital of solitude.
CCL – Plot Twist (EP)
CCL reveals today Plot Twistfirst solo project. A raw and incisive sound that embarks on a cosmic spiral from the first notes. We unfold a demanding sound narration, which oscillates between different genres. The result of a life spent between Berlin, Bristol, the Seattle DIY scene and the American Midwest. Plot twist is another world, where fantastic sound elements intersect. The DJ distills them with precision to create moments of intrigue and collective emotion, which we can perfectly imagine resonating on the dancefloor. 160 bpm psychedelia, electric guitar riffs, dubstep, fierce energy.
Helena Hauff – Multiply Your Absurdities
First appearance of the renowned German producer on the veteran techno label. It’s simply masterful. We are captivated by the title track, a mix between Tangerine Dream and acid techno. The cataclysmic “Punks In The Gym” will break some legs on the dancefloor. The conclusion is a fascinating escapade into a volcanic techno kettle. Very good trip.

warm shower – Too Cold To Hold
And five! The British are clearly not at their first rodeo and are proving once again that they know how to have fun with music and explore genres, without falling into distraction. And despite the years, Warm shower manages to find new musical areas to explore. In its previous albums like Tainted Lunch (2019) or At The Hotspot (2022), the group already flirted with electronic music, in particular with sounds drawn from house or disco, the specialty of one of its members, the overproductive Quinn Whalley, member of Paranoid London or Decius, alongside Lias Saoudi of The Fat White Family.

S-Pazz – Tales Of Dancing Waters
Double ration from the Parisian label Pont Neuf this month, with a trio which takes us to the side of a highly frequentable Afro-Indo-jazz-rare groove, to the warmth of organic orchestration, over which sometimes hovers a spiritual voice . A certain breath runs through these four tracks whose exhilarating richness places them at the borders of multiple universes. Good point.

Getdown Services – Your Medal’s In The Post
Regularly, our British friends send us unclassifiable bands between electronic and rock. This is the case of these two lads from Bristol, who recount with urban poetry and sharp humor a daily life that is not always rosy. “I’m Not Feeling It” is a kind of hazy disco for Guinness fans. The intro riff takes us towards the Stones of “Satisfaction”, and the funk of “Both Our Dads Like James Brown” recalls Ian Dury under Tranxène. Famous.
