I’m serious about inviting Tropic of Cancer to play at a nice concert venue with a nice soundsystem in Paris. Would be on the 6th of july. I found it difficult to find the agency taking care of the whole thing. To this day, I haven’t made a request yet, but it’s been encouraging me to listen to this new record over and over again.
And so, after “A Color” has been awarded as my song of the year 2011, “The One Left” is slowly but surely growing on me the same way. And I guess I’ve understood the title, that’s something else I can strongly relate to with Tropic Of Cancer’s music, and story. Can’t wait to have them over here in Paris.
Hope you’ll like it as much as I do.
This is the mix I did for Pauldu91 back in sept 2011.

We listened to it again with Voiski and “The Girl” driving really really fast, being really really late for Ligovskoï’s concert last saturday. We almost killed ourselves four or five times, and the loud techno with experimental and ambient noise layers was thrusting our adrenalin rushes. Very strange experience.
Anyway, lots of gossip, when it’s all about listening to the music once again.
To make it more appealling… here’s the playlist again :
Full support to Amélie Ravalec and the Paris / Berlin : 20 Years of Underground Techno and Fondation Sonore team.
Thanks again for the invitation to answer to some questions in the doc’
Paris / Berlin : 20 Years of Underground Techno
A documentary directed by Amélie Ravalec
52m, 2012Ltd To 500 Copies.
“This is what techno was about, this is what it should be about, and hopefully this is gonna stay this way for a while now..” Adam X (Sonic Groove)
This 52” documentary tells the story of an underground movement, from its beginning until now. Born in Detroit in the late 80s, techno met its audience a few years later in Europe, as the UK, Germany, France and many others countries started to host the foundations of a techno scene.
It is mostly focused on Paris and Berlin. Two different cities, two different tales, but techno grew up in both, from secret underground parties to huge clubs, from a small faceless movement to an etablished business, and from vinyl to digital.
The documentary features those in the scene who kept it true to its original spirit. About twenty people trace the evolution of techno over the years. They all have different profiles - dj, producer, label manager, promoter, record shop owner.. but all share a common passion :TECHNO .
With Adam X (Sonic Groove), Regis (Downwards), Ancient Methods (AM/ Downwards), Kareem (Zhark Berlin), Function (Sandwell District), Lucy (Stroboscopic Artefacts), Laurent Garnier (Fcom), Nick Höppner (Ostgut ton), Terence Fixmer (Planète Rouge), Christophe (Toolbox Records),Tama Sumo (Ostgut ton), Dasha Rush (Full Panda), Henning Baer (Grounded Theory), Milton Bradley (Do not resist the beat), Lupo (Dubplates&Mastering), Tobias Rapp (Berlin, techno und der Easy Jet set), Electric Rescue (Skryptom), Fabrice Gadeau (Rex Club), Laurent Baylet / Patrick Bamberger (Dimuschi), Mathieu Guilien (Paris III-Sorbonne), Remote (Kill the Dj), Heartbeat (Dement3d)PRE-ORDER HERE (Shipping on around 23rd May 2012)

So we did it, did it, did it ! yeah ! set our souls and our spirits free…
“Club Lonely”, this brand new party that happened last monday night in Paris was fantastic. After a warmup by the “Wrecka Spinnaz Club” guys who did a great job, Prosumer was kind enough to accept to play back to back with me all night long. To be honest, it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I can’t give enough thanks to all the people that made this party happen, and to Prosumer who - like me - was singing to almost every record we both played !
Classics and gems, from Reese to Lil’ Louis of course, with some 69, MK and Murk in the process. We ended up - 10 of us behind the decks, singing “Keep the fire burning”, clapping our hands and smiling like idiots. What a night !
For the occasion, I had made up a couple of ground rules for playing back to back. Here’s how it goes :
——————————————————————————————————-
THE “CLUB LONELY” RULES FOR JACKING THE HOUSE BACK TO BACK
Rule n°1 “Pick a number”
Both players will have to agree on a number, which will be the number of consecutive records each one will play before handinng out the decks to the other. The Club Lonely Consortium strongly encourages 3 records each : you have the time to set up some pretty nice tricks and surprises, and you always start on the same side !
Rule n°2 “Ping Pong”
At any time, when one of the two players is about to get the decks back, he can declare the beginning of a ping-pong. Only the other player can then end the ping-pong phase, during which - of course - it’s one record each ! (no matter how short or beatless or acapella or whatever… we’ve heard of the cheats…)
Rule n°3 “Pick my bag”
Similarly, when one of the two players is about to get the decks back, he can invite the other player to “pick his bag” : instead of selecting his following records in his own bag, he will then have to make his selection from the crate of the player who invited him to do so. Invitations can be refused. It is highly recommended to use the “pick my bag” rule during a ping pong.
Rule n°4 “Joker”
At any time, 1 hour after the beginning of the back to back, and 1 hour before the end, the players can use a one and only joker, and enjoy a full 30 minutes set without any interruption or any sarcastic comments from the other contestant. The Club Lonely Consortium strongly recommends to use this rule, but to perform a quick change of mind after the first record and declare a ping-pong instantly.
Rule n°5 “Novelty rules”
A brand new rule can be invented during the set, once only, by each one of the contestants. Drinking games and blind tests can be involved, obviously.
This is the interview of Mike Parker we did for Get The Curse

We’re so far away, that we stopped being afraid of not coming back.
The anticipated pleasures arousing our vertigo,
our landmarks escaped in the celestial void,
while the propeller’s smudge fades away.
Finally, everyone’s finding out what they’re doing here,
they came to believe.
No privileges.
No loneliness.
Let’s join the hyperreal.
