SHREM'S EXCLUSIVE: PERFECT PARTY PLAYLIST VOL. 8 by Popular Computer
I am extremely happy to present you with the 8th edition of my exlusive "Perfect Party Playlist" series guesting one of the most original artists to emerge from France the last few years and the man behind "Darling" and "Lointain" which stand out among the most played tracks in my iTunes library ever - Sylvain Dalido aka Popular Computer! Merci très très beaucoup Monsieur!
BIO:
Popular Computer™ is Sylvain Dalido from Paris, France. Sylvain’s early attempts at producing his own electronic pop music met with immediate praise and success. His track I Can’t Forget You caught the attention of Tiefschwarz who included it on their influential Misch Masch mix album. The single was subsequently released by Kitsuné as a 12” single and featured on the Kitsuné Fur compilation. At this point Popular Computer became one of the original Kitsuné artists and staff producers. His tracks Darling and Clone Age were featured on the Kitsuné X and debut Kitsuné Maison compilations, respectively. Darling especially was considered by many to be the standout track on this now legendary inaugural Maison collection.
Following this, Popular Computer gained further exposure through a wide range of unique, remix work. His remixes of New Young Pony Club, Mylo, Hot Chip, Pacific!, The Whip & Japanese electro superstar Shinichi Osawa made waves around the world and led to DJ work across Europe and Asia. In 2008 Popular Computer released the Lost and Found EP and Senso Data album to critical acclaim and included the single Girl(S). The following year, Popular Computer spent time in Japan and Korea, supporting the campaign for Senso Data. These experiences in the Far East influenced his next body of work - an extraordinary new album called LiTE released in 2012. Beautifully sunny summer sounds mixed with the Japanese simplicity for melody and arrangement. LiTE is a thoroughly modern piece of work, a very distinct take on French electronic music. LiTE is out on new label home, Schmooze (Chilly Gonzales and Housse De Racket). LiTE has been preceded by the single Lointain, and the second one Pop Heart, which features remixes from Robotaki, Blue Satellite, Carlos Pizzetti, Pharao Black Magic, Muffin and Lifelike.
In 2013 Popular Computer will present a new vision with a third album. However, today it wanted to talk to you about a previous period of its music. That’s why it is pleased to share with you a compilation of tracks called “First Level 2004 – 2007″. From Fine Records to the Kitsuné label, from New Age to Clone Age, from the beginning ‘till the end, as if time had never started again… With a midi language and an end of the world atmosphere, the new wave still breathes through these sounds recorded between 2004 and 2007.

SHREM'S EXCLUSIVE: PERFECT PARTY PLAYLIST VOL. 6 by Tiffany Roth (Midnight Magic)
I am very proud to present a brand new installment in an exclusive series of "Perfect Party Playlists". You'll all have a unique opportunity to indulge in a vibrantly eclectic compilation of tunes selected by the most discolicious lady out there - Midnight Magic's precious vocalist - Tiffany Roth! It is an ultimate pleasure to have you guest appearing here Miss Roth, especially considering the impact your band has had on my blog for the past two years. I am honoured.
BIO:
Midnight Magic is a nine person ensemble bonded by the unwavering desire to make you, the listener, and the rhythm become one; the secret love children of Donna Summer and George Clinton serving up an orgasmic feast of funk, disco, electro and soul. Anchored by former “H&LA” alumni Carter Yatusake, Morgan Wiley, and W. Andrew Raposo and powered by the enormous vocals of chanteuse Tiffany Roth, Midnight Magic teleported the masses to the dance floor in summer 2010 with their interstellar 12″ “Beam Me Up” on Permanent Vacation. There was no stopping ever since for Tiffany Roth & the boys who were hypnotising dance music lovers all over the galaxy repeatedly with their instantly anthemic singles, "Calling Out", "Drop Me A Line" and their latest effort "I Found Love" being among some of my most favourite and most listened to tracks of the past 2 years...
