听这张专辑，最好先把过去Paul Oakenfold给摆在一旁，这不是一张满载高能量的电子舞曲的作品，应该是他对流行音乐的敏锐观察和触角的延伸，习惯看见Paul在跳舞场DJ形象的朋友们，听这张专辑的时候一定需换换观念，舞池之外的Paul Oakenfold也有绝对动人的一面。
第一首Ready Steady Go出现于米国影片《借刀杀人》中Tom Cruise在舞厅内大开杀戒时的音乐。

This musical experiment of EZ3kiel started in 1999, when Joan Guillon (machines and keyboards), Yann N'Guema (bass and graphics creations) and Matthieu Fays (drums) delivered a promising record ‘Equalize-it’ featuring six tracks. In 2000, with the LP ‘Handle with care’ (Jarring Effects/Pias) the richness of the compositions and collaboration with Yann Tiersen, Sylvestre from Dit Terzi and Sir Jean from Meï teï Sho intrigued the audience and confirmed the eclectic personal style of the band.
On stage, EZ3kiel is known to create a poetic universe with aesthetic pictures and graphics. As the musical composer of the band, Yann N'Guema samples various images to create his own universe. In 2003, they came back with the second LP ‘Barb4ry’ (Jarring Effects/Pias). More refined and mature, this album affirmed the identity of the band made of mixtures, anachronisms, and musical experiments. Continuing on their journey into hip-hop, dub and electro music, EZ3kiel creates a dimension where beauty and melancholic mood are easily hustled with violence and cruelty. The efficiency of EZ3kiel resides in their power to surprise.
The elegance of their sound and visual performance makes EZ3kiel one of the most exciting bands in French electro music. The concert’s atmosphere is recreated on the DVD ‘Versus Tour,’ which comes out in January 2005. The collaboration with the classical band Daau has led to an astonishing creation, where the essence of the Renaissance is revisited in a futuristic way.

European pressing of the talented DJ's 2004 album has earliest release (Japanese scheduled for October). The album features guests like Mr. Lif, Aesop Rock, & more. Sony.

如今的DJ五花八门，各路货色、有料没料逮到一点音乐元素又没水准自己搞原创音乐的都贴个DJ标签，好歹也算是有个体面的音乐人标签了。
能称之DJ应该对音乐有敏锐的触觉，对选取编曲有独到的见第，对打碟之类的基本功也不能忽视，现在多少专辑轰轰烈烈出到几十集，下面贴个“Mixed By 某某某”，事实上放在播放器里也只是吭哧吭哧单调地BASS你几十分钟而已，中途换歌了还是跳针了你也许根本不会有感觉。
Shadow新专辑《The Less You Know, The Better 》很传统——传统的DJ产物，证明其实力依旧。

Paul Kalkbrenner 来自德国柏林,投入电音前是一位小号乐手 (1985 - 1990), 1992 - 93 年他开始在东柏林的 clubs 当 DJ 播放音乐, 1996 年买了第一台写歌的器材设备,并开始投入创作之路.3 年后耕耘收成,他写出一些歌曲, 2000 年在 Bpitch Control 这个德国电音厂牌发行个人首张专辑 Superimpose ,并与其他 Bpitch Control 旗下的 artists 一起在德国展开巡迴表演.无独有偶,他陆续在 Bpitch Control 发行了许多单曲, 2004 年发行个人第 3 张专辑 Self ,而我新买的单曲 Press On 就是专辑 Self 里第一首主打歌.多才多艺的 Paul Kalkbrenner,在 Bpitch Control 团队里还负责音乐 video 的工作,想当然尔这张 ep 当然也由自己一手包办.
Paul Kalkbrenner 的作品杰出在其歌曲架构,编排与旋律,在一篇专访文章里, Paul Kalkbrenner 表示他喜欢早期 trance 的旋律 (如早期的 Platipus, A13, Dragonfly, T.I.P. 等),且他不排拒把这些早期 trance 旋律融入新创作里,对於一般创作者而言这是相当不寻常,却很难能可贵的.作品中也不难发现他时常将 2 个简单的和弦搭在一起,然后跨越整首歌曲 -- Brennt 这张 ep 就是一例.这么独特又不落俗套的 groovy,令人讚赏.

4 x 4 = 12 is the debut artist album from dance music A-lister Deadmau5, with 11 brand-new tracks. It's no exaggeration to say that he's the most exciting name in clubland right now, with a Grammy nomination, a Juno award for Dance Recording of the Year for his CD collection For Lack of a Better Name, a performance at the 2010 Winter Olympics and MTV booked him as the house act for their 2010 Video Music Awards. Over the last years he's released a string of club and radio friendly chart-toppers, and this album promises to produce an equal plethora of hits

Hooverphonic are a Belgian band that formed in October 1995. Though originally categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and a mixture of others. The band originally called themselves Hoover, but later changed their name to Hooverphonic after discovering other groups were already using the Hoover name and to avoid any legal issues with the vacuum cleaner company.

14 songs. 55 min. the melody of an empty room.

The Finnish band whose gorgeous confection of folksy instrumentation and sweeping ambient electronic has gob-smacked European club scenesters, cynical musos, and dreamy pop fans alike. Seductive, narcotic, and superb, this is their debut.

。永遠的電子爵士大師Parov Stelar第五張鉅作
。氤氳夜霧般的憂鬱‧復古爵士與跳躍舞曲
。雙碟26首縱橫Electro-House、嘻哈饒舌與搖滾
在現今電子爵士領域中，來自奧地利、原名Marcus Füreder的DJ / Producer Parov Stelar，是少有人能與之匹敵的高手。完美融合電子舞曲元素、搖擺爵士取樣與靈魂聲線於一體、氤氳夜霧般的憂鬱氛圍鋪陳，更從早期的12"單曲發行開始，就成為他鮮明的標誌。經歷了《Rough Cuts》（2004）、《Seven and Storm》（2005）、《Shine》（2007），以及《Daylight》（2008）等專輯的洗禮，Parov Stelar不僅建立起了自己的廠牌Etage Noir，並且成了新世代Smoky Jazz的代表人物，相信喜愛Nu Jazz的樂迷早就將他的作品當成珍寶來收藏與聆賞了！
2009年最新力作《Coco》，Parov Stelar延續個人的Smoky Jazz特質，又觸及Electro-House、Hip-Hop、Rap以及搖滾範疇，粹取各種樂風中愉悅／不安／壓抑／挑逗等豐富元素，營造旋律走勢的畫面充滿，以雙CD的篇幅，鋪陳長達100分鐘的音樂故事。Parov Stelar表示，在這個單曲當道的年代，他希望以真正專輯（Album）的觀念，來喚起人們在聽音樂時享受鋪陳與張力的起伏之趣。也因為如此，你更能發現Parov Stelar在挑戰這個製作模式的壓力下，完全展現他編寫與調度的強大功力！
從CD One第一首歌〈Coco〉典雅帶著抑鬱的鋼琴彈奏，引導客席女歌手Lilja Bloon低迴的歌聲揭開序幕，一路行過〈Hurt〉、〈For Rose〉凝滯的夜色，〈True Romance〉緩緩滲入電子聲響、〈Wake Up Sister〉Funk味十足的Deep House節拍，來到〈Let's Roll〉中Blaktroniks以超酷的唸唱引入更多嘻哈養分；而〈You and Me〉中Lilja Bloom再次登場，讓人驚訝於電子搖滾帶來Parov Stelar過往專輯中少見的冶艷性感。
CD Two中Parov Stelar再度跳下舞池，盡情地將復古的大樂團爵士旋律與跳躍的舞曲節奏嫁接匯流，從懸疑的〈The Mojo Radio Gang〉來到性感的〈Ragtime Cat〉，在〈Silent Snow〉裡Max The Sax以流暢Saxophone吹奏串起媲美Ludovic Navarre aka St. Germain的經典Jazz House神采；而〈Catgroove〉、〈Matilda〉、〈The Flame〉更是以迴圈取樣及電壓聲響為舞池量身打造。整趟旅程下來，從跟著打拍的指尖直到跳動的雙足，你會突然發現，Parov Stelar已經藉由他的雙手，為電子爵士立下一個新的里程碑！

Long awaited studio album from 2002 Golden Globe winner (best score for Moulin Rouge). Features collaborations with Bono, Evan dando, Photek, Mogwai, David McAlmont and more.

“through the window”发行于2010年3月，风格属于迷幻电子音乐。
在春天发行这样一张专辑，无疑是对歌迷最好的回报，因为这张专辑实在太适合在早春时节聆听了，春天很短暂，不像夏天和冬天那么冗长，春天往往是万物复苏，大地悄悄醒来的时节，对于人们来说，这时候需要一张清新透明，犹如春雨般的唱片来滋润我们被冰封已久的耳朵，于是，saycet发行了这张“through the window”，来帮我们敲开春天的大门。
继上张专辑之后这张《Through The Window》再接再厉进一步展现了他创作的功力，不论是纯旋律的还是有人声的，有层次感的键盘伴奏和微风拂面般的音效波纹一圈圈漾开后引起的舒适惬意，相当地让我的身心放松受益。这种造梦的音乐即使在白天听着也会惹人神思涣散，肉体和灵魂都会随着音符飘然不知所踪。值得一提的是本张专辑里的女声尤其让人耳旁一颤，有似曾相识之感，一查却发现竟是位名不见经传的亚裔人士(名叫Phoene Somsavath)。
