Journalist (music and football mainly), the Parisian blogger (Never Trust a Marxist in Football) was also DJing during the early 2000’s, for parties at Paris-Paris or La Flèche d’Or. For us, he selects five pearls from his collection.
Barbara McNair
I Hear A Symphony (Motown/1969)
«She was an actress, TV host and her husband was probably murdered by the Mafia. As a singer, she experienced some successes and hits, but I especially like when she covered Motown with a certain awkwardness that suddenly allows us to rediscover these classics.»
Jorge Ben
Oba La Vem Ela(Philips/1970)
«I’m not a fan of Brazilian music, but this album Jorge Ben conquered me. And it gives almost want to console the Seleçao that crawls since losing against the Mannschaft in Bela Horizonte.»
Joe Higgs
Mademoiselle (Clandisc/1970)
«Clancy Eccles still remains an underrated producer of reggae. But his heavy, powerful sound made irresistibly think about English football sixties. In the stands, in the late ’60s, some young fans with short hair were not mistaken and made the sound of these tunes the soundtrack of the British proletariat of the terraces…»
The Montclairs
Unwanted Love (Paula Records/1972)
«It remains my favorite title of northern soul. One day it will make the final list of 50 pieces of northern soul who deserve to go down in history. And I will lift up a revolutionary army if The Montclairs are not in trackslist!»
KRS One
Outta Here (Jive/1993)
«KRS One was not pretending. Simple Hip-hop, live closer to boxing Sonny Liston as basketball of Michael Jordan. All under the blessing of DJ Premier.»
