Le Corps Mince De Francoise, “Something Golden (Renaissance Man RMX)” MP3
Helsinki trio Le Corps Mince de Francoise just MySpace-droppedtheir new single in advance of their full-length release on perennially chic tune haus Kitsune. It’s a slice of electronic pop nougat, breathy vocals and what sounds like Pokemon barking for dramatic effect, something like 23rd century twee sans babyishness, or maybe an audio companion piece to the less cliche Takashi Murakami pieces. Plus they have a song called “Bitch of the Bitches” that we can get down with. House duo Renaissance Man’s remix of “Something Golden” takes the Pokemon to a ping pong tournament, adding all sorts of sproing and patience and it’s lovely.

Renaissance Man Mix for Sixpack MP3
- story Matthew Schnipper
Back in June, we posted the song “What Is Guru” by Finland’s Renaissance Man and celebrated its wonky take on regular rhythm. The new mix they’ve made for French clothing line Sixpack (shout to Upnorth) grows this lopsided trend, like one gear of the tape machine melted and the other is working double time. All of the percussion is made of rubber balls and xylophones for two-year-olds and there are a number of bleating moments that sound extremely, happily flatulent. If there was a club in New York that played this we would go every night. No that is a lie we would never go because it would probably be scary. Full tracklist—including the wild Riva Starr mix of “What is Guru” and some track that samples the Bilal hook from “Nightmares” and Roberto De Simone aka Schnipper’s dream music—is after the jump.

Freeload: Renaissance Man, “What Is Guru” MP3
- story THE FADER
Renaissance Man, the Finnish duo of Downtown and Jaxxon, have a new EP, from which “What Is Guru” is taken. There’s a peculiar strain of dance music that doesn’t seem danceable at all, at least in a club, that we particularly enjoy. All of the rhythm is made up from chopped vocal oohing, more an experiment than a reliable tool. Weird DJ hero Omar S said in an interview, “You got people like, Is that all the record do? Yeah bitch, that’s all the record do. Yep, your lazy ass needs to do some other shit with it.” And here Renaissance Man does both for the lazy DJ/listener, let’s it spin regular and without change until a halfway Hare Krishna break and then an ease back into regularity. So, is that all the record do? Kind of. The single’s other side, “Aloha” is more of a complete production, including the most bugged out sound that shows up four minutes deep that is like a Xerox machine breaking at steady intervals. Not convinced Renaissance Man isn’t a noise group.
