RELEASE DATE: 11/5/2021
Built around the successes of his soundtracks and songs for the movies of Christophe Honoré, Alex Beaupain's profile in the "chanson française" landscape is quite unique. Beaupain alternates between soundtracks, songs he writes for others (mainly great French actresses) and his own solo albums. In March 2021, Beaupain paid tribute to the late Serge Gainsbourg for the 30th anniversary of his passing during a special live on-air event where he covered in full, with the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, Gainsbourg's penultimate shocking album from 1984: Love On The Beat. This experience led him directly in the studio with Saint DX as producer, the French-American duet Faux Real singing backing vocals and a full string section to re-record this cult album with a 2021 twist. He had also dreamed of covering that particular album that had so much impact on him, musically and lyrically, when he first discovered it. The '80s funky sound of the record, produced by Billy Rush, was a new start for Gainsbourg and at the time, the lyrics shocked everyone but achieved to avoid any censorship.
"I was 10 when Love On The Beat was released in 1984. Covering the full album was an idea I always kept somewhere in my mind as I was fully aware of the long-lasting impact this particular record had on all the teenagers at the time. This collection of songs is far from being the most covered or talked about works form Gainsbourg, but I've always had the feeling they were 'mine'. That everything started there for me and that, one day or the other, I would have to come back to it." --Alex Beaupain

Saint DX is the incarnation of the contemporary crooner. Singer, composer, and producer, his style reveals an obsession for love and an exacerbated sensitivity. Raised in the Buddhist spirituality of his parents and cradled by the soundtrack of The Big Blue (1988), Aurélien Hamm tells about the fragility, but also the beauty of our love stories, and the reincarnation of our wounds in the repetition of our days. Oscillating between English and French, swaying bass and ethereal layers, self-tone and naked voice, he cites Sade as well as Mylène Farmer, Better Person, Kanye West, and Prince among his influences. Since 2018, he has released three singles ("Regrets", "First Fantasy", and "I Still Care"), accompanied Charlotte Gainsbourg on stage and performed many of her opening acts. This nine-track mini LP will be followed by many concerts and marks the beginning of a very promising solo career for Saint DX.

Taken from the movie Le Bel Été, written and directed by Pierre Creton, "One Blood Circle" is the main theme of the soundtrack and it features French pop legend, Etienne Daho. The B-side features a cover by The Limiñanas of the all-time French classic "Non Non Rien N'a Changé" from Les Poppys. Lionel Limiñana about writing this soundtrack: "We met Pierre during the Shadow People tour, he came to the concert and wrote to us asking for music for his film Le Bel Été. Pierre sent me the script. I thought I didn't have time to work because of the tour but I took a three-day break to give it a try. I wrote a theme and then two, three... I had a work base and I was able to continue at the hotel or in the band's van, which explains why the music is very electronic. I invited Ivan Telefunken, Pascal Comelade's Catalan guitarist, to play on some melodies. When we arrived in St Malo for La Route du Rock Festival we met Etienne Daho with whom we had wanted to work for a long time. We played the script to Etienne and the demo of 'One Blood Circle', the main theme of Le Bel Été. Etienne worked on the text and quickly returned to the studio in Paris to record his voice and choirs. The O.S.T. was done." 7" collector black vinyl in sleeve with 3mm spine with paper inner-sleeve.

Hit-maker Mind Enterprises (aka Andrea Tirone) is back with a new mini-album with new and previously released singles and remixes. The release is a collection of the artist's recent singles including the acclaimed and Shortlist Magazine's top 50 singles of 2017 "Idol", plus "Gemini" and "S.H.A.K.E", which together with current new track "Monogamy" marks the unveiling of an electrifying new sound. Obsessed with vintage synthesizers and '80s beats, Mind Enterprises has created a sound which is somehow both forward thinking and nostalgic at the same time. Think Italo disco meets retro dance, with razor sharp modern production, and you're half-way there. "Monogamy", coupled with its '80s style VHS video is designed to make your feet move and your heart long for simpler times. Its irresistible groove and disjointed vocals are as instant as they are idiosyncratic. Includes remixes by Prins Thomas, Breakbot, and Borussia.

L'Intégrale is a boxset that encompasses the carrier and sonic brio of one of the most iconic French duos, Les Rita Mitsouko, nearly 40 years after Frédéric Chichin and Catherine Ringer formed the group. A boxset including Les Rita Mitsouko's seven studio albums, the remix album Re, two live albums, Acoustiques and En Concert Avec l'Orchestre Lamoureux, one mini-album titles The Eye (More Variety), one brand-new album of rarities, and one DVD with two rare tour movies, Panne Dans La Guerre Froide (1989) and La Vie Du Rail (1989) both shot and directed by Roland Allard in Moscow and Mumbai. All releases have been remastered from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios. PAL format DVD (Region/Zone: 0).
Catherine Ringer and Frédéric Chichin met and formed an amazing band nearly 40 years ago. The subsequent music they made as Les Rita Mitsouko has remained steadfastly popular and relevant ever since. Neither fashions nor trends, nor Fred's tragic, untimely death in 2007, have blunted the sonic brio of this iconic duo. Always visually strong, mixing up humor and gravitas, madness and sweet derision, their rich, adventurous, modern discography, both joyfully experimental and commercially viable, has traversed the ages with impunity. For the uninitiated, here is a brief résumé of their discography and career: In 1979, multi-instrumentalists Catherine and Fred met on the set of the Marc'O punk opera Flashes Rouges in the edgy Montreuil suburb of Paris. They hit it off immediately and soon embarked on a number of faltering, now forgotten groups with other musicians, before consolidating their true power as a duo. 1984 saw the release of their debut album Rita Mitsouko, recorded with Krautrock producer Conny Plank. It was the fourth single release, "Marcia Baila", that first grabbed everyone's attention, selling over a million copies and becoming one of the most played songs in French broadcasting history. They were suddenly superstars in a parallel universe, as big in France as Duran Duran or Frankie Goes To Hollywood were in the UK, though across a slender stretch of water the Brits remained largely impervious to their charms. It should be noted that not all anglophones were immune to their collective genius: Sparks, Iggy Pop, and Serj Tankian of System of a Down are some of the giants of alternative rock who've collaborated with them over the years.
