SKYLAX CD COMPILATION "KICK OUT THE 12'S" :
"At one time, not for so long - it was before DFA or 2 Many DJ' S: a prehistory - where rock'n'roll and electro were scorned or been unaware of, the US - Parisian label Skylax was among the first to organize one-eyed, torrid and fertile appointments between the two (false) enemy brothers. Here, the darkest and mad rock'n'roll (of Stooges with Joy Division) rediscovered the vice and the euphoria of the dance-floor, on 12 inches which have since been available around the world - in crazy, dirty & filthy dj bags. It is precisely a handle of those 12 inches Hardrock Striker's label SKYLAX RECORDS
compiles today, under a title paying homage to Detroit: with the MC5, of course, for this bad and dirty electricity; but also with the pioneers of techno, for their sensual brutality, their noisy minimalism. It is Detroit, it could have been Madchester, Chicago or the New York of Studio 54 (Tony Sylvester), so much these robot-like 12 inches feel the indecent assault, sweat, carefree hedonism. Because at Skylax, Protools finish in stroke, synthesizers makes Larsen, the beatbox do solos: behind the machines, there are some men, and they are definitely more rock' roll than the ones in Doherty/Strokes disguise. One does not call a track without impunity "Metallika" an incredible lust section, as one does not divert without a very sure taste the memorable Disco Circus of Martin Circus - who invented thirty years ago LCD Soundsystem." /// LES INROCKUPTIBLES ///
