This is the debut full-length release by French artists Delon & Dalcan (Greg Delon, André Dalcan) -- DJs, sound artists, organizers and mainstays of the Nîmes house scene. Tanz expresses the unusual symbiosis between these two men: the sound is full of warmth and full of grooves, in spite of its apparently technoid features. Who knows whether it is the mild climate or the region's wonderful red wine, but surely Greg and André's passion and unconditional love of music, the 1980s, and current club tunes have contributed to the wholesome melding of genres on this record. Each track has an inherent flair and develops an individual homage to disco, techno, house, electro, pop or rave... everything has an influence on how they think, what they do, what they produce and vice versa. Addictive minimal stompers perch next to delicately-mixed classic French house to form a perfectly working sound/ecosystem where everything is in its right place. It is music not only for the small-scale habitat, but also for new biotopes with similar structures, for other clubs and other countries. Also, one of Kompakt's best-selling acts Oxia comes on board, fitting perfectly into this synthetic entity created for a simple yet omni-liberating purpose: Tanz (Dance!).
