Bob Sinclar – Gym Tonic. 'French Touch'...Air – Kelly Watch The Stars.....Demon – You Are My High...Stardust – Music Sounds Better With you... Daft Punk - One More Time...Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)... effects both on and alongside samples
1. Daft Punk - One More Time (2000, Virgin)
When “One More Time” was released in November 2000, Daft Punk were already enjoying worldwide success, having changed the face of pop since their debut album Homework in 1997. “One More Time” is the first single from their second effort, Discovery, released in March 2001. American house DJ and producer Romanthony sings the lyrics he wrote, calling on Daft Punk to do it again after their first success, as the band from the animated drama Interstella 5555: The Story of the Secret Star System, commissioned from Leiji Matsumoto, the Japanese author of the Albator cartoon, to accompany the entire album. It's a double childhood dream for Daft Punk, who will of course hit No. 1 worldwide with this track.
2. Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (2000, Sound Of Barclay)
A French Touch anthem if ever there was one! Its round bass and funky guitar invite you to dance from the very first bars of this trial run by the duo who met at the American School of Modern Music in Paris. Romain and Yann hit the nail on the head with this lively track, accompanied by a video by French director François Nemeta, which was released in September 2000 on the legendary French label Barclay. After winning a “Victoire de la Musique” award for their album Modjo in 2001, the two went their separate ways and pursued their solo careers, Yann Destal as a songwriter and Romain as a sound engineer, notably for Sébastien Tellier's Sexuality.
3. Stardust - Music Sounds Better With you (1998, Roulé)
Stardust is what we call a One Hit Wonder. But not just any One Hit Wonder! This supergroup only lasted as long as its hit “Music Sounds Better With you”. It brings together DJ Alan Braxe, singer and producer Benjamin Diamond, who will continue to pursue a solo career, and Thomas Bangalter, half of Daft Punk, for whom Roulé is simply the label. To complete this dream team, renowned French director Michel Gondry directed the video.
4. Air - Kelly Watch The Stars (1997, Source / Virgin)
The duo from Versailles, then still called AIR French Band (French Touch when you hold us!), who composed the most chiselled music of the whole scene, stamped their first album Moon Safari with the seal of success on “Kelly Watch The Stars”. Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin take their cue from French classicism and the vintage sounds of early video games, from which they borrow imagery for the video clip, in which they control two female ping pong players via their Atari console.
5. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat (1999, F Communications)
With “Flat Beat”, Mr Oizo writes the debut of the legendary, impassive yellow plush Flat Eric! Over a syncopated rhythm like no other, his simulated keyboard voice chants what's known as a banger, i.e. a track on which it's impossible not to shake your head in rhythm, just like Flat Eric. The infectiously zany track, released in 1999 on Laurent Garnier's F Communications label, has not aged a day! Note that Mr Oizo is none other than filmmaker Quentin Dupieux, who of course directed his own video.
6. Alex Gopher - The Child (1999, Disques Solid / V2)
Alex Gopher has been Air's bandmate since high school in Versailles, where they shared the group Orange. Perhaps the most expert sound engineer of the French Touch, he now pursues his career as a producer. With 1999's “The Child”, featuring a Billie Holiday sample in a hushed setting, he takes us on a boat trip as if we were on La croisière s'amuse, the series from which he has taken his pseudonym since his first Gopher EP in 1995, named after the show's cabin master. The logo-laden clip is by H5, the studio inseparable from the French Touch aesthetic.
7. Etienne de Crécy - Le Patron Est Devenu Fou (1997, Disques Solid/PIAS)
In 1997, Etienne de Crécy, also from Versailles, released the compilation Super Discount on his own label, Disques Solid, bringing together some of the finest talents of the French Touch, including Air, Alex Gopher, Minos Pour Main Basse (Sur La Ville), Mooloodjee and La Chatte Rouge, all three of his aliases (in duet with Zdar from Cassius for the last). The album is a self-confessed marketing concept, and Ludovic Houplain of studio H5 has this to say about it: “Super Discount ça va Hyper Marché”! And the de Crécy family works as a family, with the highly choreographed video clip by his wife Marie.
8. Cassius - Cassius 1999 (1999, Virgin)
Zdar and Boom Bass, the mild-mannered Cassius duo, reinvented themselves by composing at least one hit per decade until Zdar's tragic death in 2019. Cassius 1999 is the first single from their aptly named 1999 album, to be released in... 1999! This bouncy hit precedes it, inspiring director Alexandre Courtes, a long-time friend, to create a very graphic video with races as frantic as the music.
9. Bob Sinclar - Gym Tonic (1998, Yellow Productions / EastWest)
Perhaps the most exuberant DJ of the French Touch, Christophe Le Friant is Bob Sinclar, named after the super spy played by Jean-Paul Belmondo in Le Magnifique. On “Gym Tonic”, from his debut album Paradise released on the Yellow Production label he founded with DJ Yellow, the Jane Fonda sample was undeclared. The track was in fact created by Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter, under the pretext that it would not be released as a single. Unfortunately, Bob had no control over its success and even used it as a springboard for his career, despite the dispute settled by the lawyers.
10. The Supermen Lovers (feat. Mani Hoffman) - Starlight (2000, Lafessé Records)
“Starlight” and the Mr. Potato version of its clip, animated by Frenchman Numéro 6, one of the driving forces behind the graphic identity of the French Touch, was the start of Guillaume Atlan's flourishing career, supported by the soulful vocals of Frenchman Mani Hoffman. A fan of funk - Atlan takes his pseudonym from Johnny Guitar Watson's “Superman Lover” - he has enjoyed a successful career on his own labels, Lafessé Records since 1999 and now Word Up Records.
11. Demon - You Are My High (1999, 20000st / Small)
Demon enjoyed great success in 1999 with his debut album Midnight Funk, on his 20000st label distributed by Sony. On “You Are My High”, the vocals are actually a sample of the Gap Band's eponymous track. Initially credited to Demon vs Heartbreaker, Demon later confessed that the latter doesn't exist. But it was the video clip of a long, close-up kiss that caused such a scandal at the time, that it was banned from television and reinforced his success.
12. Superfunk - Lucky Star (1999, Fiat Lux)
Marseilles trio Lucky Star brings together DJ Fafa Monteco, Mike 303 and Stéphane Bonan from Dealers de Funk. They wrote this French Touch anthem in 1999, in association with Chicago singer Ron Carroll, who gave the track a soulful sheen that helped revive his career in the USA.
13. Laurent Garnier – Flashback (1997, F Communications)
Si la techno de Laurent Garnier n’est pas naturellement associée à la house filtrée de la French Touch, ses combats de DJ, notamment la première Victoire de la Musique catégorie « musique électronique ou dance » décrochée en 1998, ont autant contribué à populariser les musiques électroniques en France que les succès de la French Touch. Le label F Communications qu’il a fondé en 1994 avec Eric Morand se fendait après tout du slogan précurseur « We give a French Touch to house music ». Le clip sarcastique de « Flashback » est réalisé par Quentin Dupieux/Mr Oizo, alors membre de l’écurie F Communications.
14. Cheek - Venus (Sunshine People) (DJ Gregory Remix) (1996, Versatile Records)
“Venus” is one of the first releases from Versatile Records, an iconic label in the French electronic music scene. Cheek is the pseudonym of its founder, Gilbert Cohen aka DJ Gilb'R, a French eminence of the genre. It's this DJ Gregory remix that has gone down in history.
15. St Germain - Rose Rouge (2000, Blue Note)
Producer Ludovic Navarre, an early member of the F Communications label under the name of St Germain, signs this worldwide French Touch hit in 2000, released on the legendary jazz label Blue Note. With its samples of Marlena Shaw, cymbal and jazz trumpet, as well as its photo of the Seine on the cover, it will be a symbol of made in France electronica, which Jorja Smith will cover in 2020.

Just as the 20th century was fading from view, a new form of electronic music with addictive choruses, tight basslines, funky samples, and radiant filters reawakened the planet from Paris and Versailles. Let's look back at the hits that made France a force to be reckoned with in the world of dance music, to the point where the highly supportive English-speaking press honored the movement with its own name: French Touch.
French house (also referred to as French touch, filter house, or tekfunk) is a style of house music devised by French musicians in the 1990s.[1] It is a form of Eurodisco and a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music scene. The defining characteristics of the genre are filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples from late 1970s and early 1980s European disco tracks. Tracks sometimes contained original hooks inspired by these samples, providing thicker harmonic foundations than the genre's forerunners.[2] Most tracks in this style are in 4
4 time and feature steady four-on-the-floor beats in the tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute. Purveyors of French house include Daft Punk,[3] David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig, Cassius, The Supermen Lovers,[4] Modjo, Justice, Air, and Étienne de Crécy.
History and influences
French house was influenced by American dance music, Euro disco, and the space disco music styles.[5] Space disco was popular in France during the late 1970s and early 1980s, especially with artists such as Cerrone and Sheila and B. Devotion. American P-Funk also influenced the genre's sound, especially the work of George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.[6] P-Funk was played alongside disco in many French discothèques, notably after Disco Demolition Night took place in the United States.[6] The Jacking aspect of Chicago house was also incorporated into the French house scene with "jack house" becoming a short-lived descriptive term for the sound in the UK. The influence of 1970s French pop music, championed by musicians such as François de Roubaix, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Serge Gainsbourg, is also apparent within the genre.[6]
Thomas Bangalter's tracks for his Roulé label were some of the earliest examples of French house. His solo material, along with his work as a member of Daft Punk and Stardust, influenced the French house scene during the mid-to-late 1990s.[7] The French duo Motorbass were among the first in France to produce house tracks largely based around samples and filtered loops and released their seminal album, Pansoul in 1996. Parisian producer St. Germain also produced jazz-inspired house tracks. Other known French producers during this time period, such as François Kevorkian and Laurent Garnier, remained distant from the emerging French house label.
UK dance music and European DJs first recognized French house experiments in the mid-1990s with commercial success occurring in 1997.[8] Daft Punk, Cassius and later Stardust were the first internationally successful artists of the genre, and along with Air, signed to Virgin Records. Initial releases by all three garnered music videos directed by Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry and Alex & Martin. Thanks to a growing awareness of the clubbing scene, along with major label support, Daft Punk's debut album Homework entered the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart upon its release. The duo would ultimately become the biggest-selling French act in the UK since Jean-Michel Jarre.[9] The emergence of the French sound coincided with dance music's popularity in the UK market, which was also experiencing a surge of interest in general electronic music.[10]
Further international commercial success continued into the 2000s with Bob Sinclar, Étienne de Crécy, Benjamin Diamond, and Modjo achieving hit singles in Europe. In late 2005, Madonna released Confessions on a Dance Floor, an album with significant French house influences in several of its songs.[2]
Terms, origins and variations
See also: Nu-disco
The term "French Touch" was first used in Paris in July 1987.[11] Jean-Claude Lagrèze, a photographer of parisians' nights created a couple of "French Touch" parties at The Palace in an effort to help people discover house music. The parties were driven by DJ Laurent Garnier, Guillaume la Tortue and David Guetta. The expression "We Give a French Touch to House" was printed on a bomber jacket by Éric Morand for Fnac Music Dance Division in 1991.[10]
Prior to 1996, "French house" had been referred to among Europeans as "nu-disco", "disco house" and "new disco".[12] The term "French touch" was popularised by music journalist Martin James in the weekly music paper known as Melody Maker. He referred to the term in 1996 as a review of Étienne de Crécy's first album Super Discount. This term became favoured among the French media and was then widely used in the UK press by 1998.[8] The French newspaper, Liberation and Radio NRJ acknowledged Martin James as the coiner of the "French Touch".[citation needed] The term was then used on an MTV News special, to describe a "French house explosion" phenomenon. Bob Sinclar was interviewed, as well as Air (a non-house act) and Cassius. This news special later aired on all MTV local variations worldwide, spreading the term and introducing the "French house" sound to the mainstream population.[2]
Between 1998 and 2001, local music shop Discobole Records imported the records directly from France and middle class clubs dedicated totally to the genre, such as City Groove. In Greece, this music style was promoted as "disco house".[13] During 1999, many events also took place on Spain's Ibiza island, and has continued to be a very popular destination for British tourists.[14]
French house can be described as a combination of three production styles. One is what the French refer to as 'French house' or 'French Touch,' heavily influenced by the space disco sound. The second style is a continuation and update of Euro disco, drawing inspiration from the productions of Alec R. Costandinos. The third style embodies the deep American house influence, evident in the similar treatment of samples and repetitive 'funky' hooks. Further variations and mutations naturally followed.Une histoire de la French Touch”, published by Léo Scheer in 2021, and journalist Stéphane Jourdain, author of ‘French Touch, une épopée électro’, published by Le Castor Astral in 2015, a revised and expanded edition of his book ‘French Touch’, published by the same publisher in 2005.
All techno fans are familiar with the “French Touch”, the music liberated by samplers, which from Daft Punk to Justice has given rise to inventive, offbeat electronic music. Originating in the Bastille-Montmartre-Versailles triangle, this musical movement, launched by young people who more or less knew each other, enjoyed its golden age from 1995 to 2000. Steeped in the same cultural and cinematographic references, notably the Japanese cartoons of the '80s, dozens of DJs and groups drew their musical inspiration from two major sources: the German electronic music group Kraftwerk and the pop music of Motown, which blended black and white cultures. The result, though often very different from one group to the next, is an elegant sound that blends disco, funky bass and electro. These young hedonists, who make no political demands, attract a wide audience beyond their borders. For several years in a row, British critics have placed French albums at the top of the year's charts.

French house initially maintained the established 'French Touch' sound, emphasizing Euro disco-like vocals and downplaying the 'space disco' themes. However, over time, most successful acts have evolved their sound. For instance, Bob Sinclar's later work, including the hit single 'World, Hold On (Children of the Sky),' exhibits only a distant connection to the original French house sound. Similarly, both Daft Punk and Étienne de Crécy developed a harder synthetic sound more directly inspired by techno, electro, and pop.

Yann Destal est un aventurier singulier dans le paysage musical français. Quand on croise sa silhouette de jeune hussard pâle, on est surpris de découvrir un garçon qui place le songwriting au dessus de toute autre préoccupation, un artiste en apesanteur, détaché de la mode et des formats, simplement obsédé par l'idée qu'il se fait d'une chanson.
Après avoir vendu plus de deux millions de disques dans le monde et submergé les ondes avec le tube planétaire « Lady » en 2000, l'ex-chanteur du groupe Modjo se lance dans une carrière solo avec des morceaux et des arrangements bien éloignés de ceux du dancefloor. Il sort en 2004 "The Great Blue Scar", la grande cicatrice bleue, un album ambitieux que notre Albator de la pop travaille en solitaire dans son labo parisien. Il se lâche à la voix sur cette fresque pop et orchestrale dans laquelle il assume l'héritage de quelques uns de ces héros d'enfance: les Beatles, mais aussi Queen, Bowie ou Pink Floyd. Lorsque Paul Kendall, Stephen Hague et Bertrand Burgalat viennent apporter la touche finale à l'album, la jungle des arrangements imaginés par Destal est déjà si dense que ces pointures de la production n'auront plus qu'a mettre le 16/9 ème sur le film qu'il a imaginé.
"Lumineux, à part, flamboyant, féérique, trop kitch pour être malhonnête…", les Inrockuptibes, Rock & folk, et Rolling Stone entre autre saluent la sortie de l'album et réalisent à quel point Yann Destal est singulier. On le quitte sur la queue de la comète french touch et on le retrouve en petit prince de la pop ! Au point que certains poussent la comparaison avec un autre grand solitaire rêveur: Michel Polnareff.
2010... Impossible d'observer la déferlante pop psychédélique du moment sans penser à son univers onirique. Ca tombe bien, Yann Destal revient à nous avec un tout nouveau répertoire ! Préparez vous déjà au voyage, le nouvel album s'annonce aérien, sensible, pop et cinématographique (oui, il y a quelques clins d'oeil à Ennio Morricone mais aussi à Fleetwood Mac). Le jeune ermite parisien a pris le temps de laisser murir ses idées en studio mais aussi en live, en jouant dans des clubs seul au piano, ou en petite formation, d'imaginer des bricolages de savant fou (un fameux effet "dauphin" sur sa voix), de tester d'étonnantes reprises, d'écouter encore 1000 albums sur lesquels il se sera penché comme un alchimiste en quête de la pierre philosophale. Yann l'enchanteur ?!!

This toy/model has been around for a while and has seen numerous re-releases over the years. It is primarily constructed of die-cast metal, virtually 90% or more. It has great detailing work, which is a tad soft by modern tooling standards - still exceptional though with nice clean paint work, and a nice matte finish.

- Regarde, c'est ta fille quand même !
- Ecoute, on est Dimanche, je me repose, alors arrête un peu avec tes histoires à dormir debout ! Ya-Pa-De-4ème-DI-MEN-SION !!! C'est clair comme ça ???

- Pfff t'es nul t'as même pas ...
- Et puis t'es ch*** avec tes questions. Vas jouer à, ... à ... Albator tiens ! Ca faisait longtemps. "
C'est ainsi que des milliers d'enfants comme celui-ci on bien assisté à l'existence d'une quatrième dimension. Je n'ai pas eu cette chance. Si vous oui, faites le nous savoir.
Et c'est dans la société d'aujourd'hui que les adultes sont bornés et ne voient plus rien. Ils ont perdu leur faculté de s'émerveiller devant la vérité, et la simplicité des choses... Tout simplement.
