This is the first of a series of shows that features the music that has been often referred to as "The French Touch". In this episode we look at the music by ALEX GOPHER, DJ MEHDI, ETIENNE DE CRECY, AIR, CLEMENT, THE SUPERMAN LOVERS and MADAME B. These recordings were recorded in the late 1990's and early 2000's and were celebrated by many sources as fresh DISCO music. Some sources consider this music to be part of EURODISCO. Other sources have suggested that many of these recordings contributed to the development of NUDISCO. Many other sources connect this music to the FRENCH HOUSE sound of artists like BOB SINCLAR, MARTIN SOLVEIG, CASSIUS, STARDUST, ST. GERMAIN, and MOTORBASS. Some of those artists will be featured in next week's show. In this show we concentrate on selections on Disques Solid and the Pixadelic and Ed Banger labels.
