In the Electro-soul mix
The London based swiss-moroccan Alex Attias is one of Wsound favourite producers. And we might have waited a little while for this mix, but it was definetly worthit. The owner of the Visions label, offers a dynamic West London style mix, with half underground classics (like Victor Duplaix’s Manhood) and upcoming tracks, a cocktail of rare beats and spaced out grooves. Check out his last single “Plutonia” for another proof, and read his interview.
It's hard to say it all, Dego has done so much in electronic music. The junglist sound, at first, then the broken beat scene which he initiated. The new 4 Hero album, "Creating Patterns", is out now on Talkin Loud. This mix is the last from the Versatile Family Party in Paris.
If you needed a closer view of what blending means, you're gonna have to listen to dis. As we put it, this is the best set on our website. And when you know he hasnt got decks at home !
DJ Gilb R is one of the best French djs. First involved in hip hop, then house and drum & bass, Gilb R has just finished his first album “Puzzle” with I Cube, under the name Château Flight (and you can hear some of it in ths set !). Always exploring new directions, but not in the usual way. This mix made especially for Wsound just fits perfectly a summer afternoon. And we all know you can find summertime in your mind whenever. Try this, it will help concentrate.

for us, with sounds from Compost and elsewhere. The Trüby Trio album is set

Tal Stef comes from Strasbourg in the East from France. Not so far from Rainer Trüby's Rootdown club, but his style, as you will see by listening to this set, is more jazz uptempo orientated.
Half of Jedi Knights, Global Communication, Reload and Link (all with Mark Pritchard), Tom Middleton records now on his own under the new Kosmos banner, for Blue recordings. This set was recorded in Paris, at the Rex Club, at the monthly “The Sound” party in november. And watch out for the new Jedi Knights comp and the Cosmos album ...
Between Marseille and Chicago, there was the French Connection. What's left from that is maybe the Troublemakers, a band who pay tribute to soundtracks in their album "Doubts and Convictions", out now on Guidance. And also read their interview.
New kids on the Ultimate Dilemma block, Zero 7 make a very smooth music, with some groove going behind. This mix has impressed a lot of people : don't wait to listen to it. Gilles Peterson called them the english "Air" ...
