"Sounding much like a cross between The Dap-Kings and Breakestra (with whom they share several members), L.A.’s Orgone keeps the hotness of the recent retro-soul revival coming; lead singer Fanny Franklin fits in very nicely between Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse. As befits the band’s name, Orgone’s sound is quite organic, rooted in soul, funk, boogaloo, and jazz, with a classic appeal that’s nevertheless contemporary...the entire album is one non-stop groove. If smooth, soulful funk with jazzy arrangements makes you sweat, you just found your new favorite band."
- XLR8R
"By the time the listener gets to the nasty, distorted, finger-popping, ass waggling "Crabby Ali" -- where the deep brewed, second-line New Orleans old-school funk goes head to head with the gloss of L.A.'s Tower of Power styled horn charts -- it feels like the party's just getting started."
- All Music
"Orgone recalls acts like Fela Kuti, Trouble Funk, and War, but with a heavy dose of disco, as on Killion's "Dialed Up," where the deep groove and diva vocals are so authentic, they could be samples."
- The Onion / A.V. Club
"Their music is terrifically unfussy, big slabs of grizzled R&B, greasy as fatback and thick as a very particular kind of smoke. At their best, they recall the majesty of Sly & the Family Stone; opening track "Who Knows Who" is all bleary horns and broken-heart vocals, "It's What You Do" is a tight, itchy jam. There's still a riot goin' on, and Orgone is at the front of the crowd."
- eMusic
"It’s easy to imagine The Killion Floor both igniting mass partying and stoking libidos for more intimate gatherings."
- OC Weekly
"Orgone has provided all the elemental power to drive the funk/soul revival to new levels with The Killion Floor...Orgone will invigorate your groove spirit and get booty out of its little box and out on the dancefloor."
- KEXP, 90.3FM (SEATTLE)

Böcke auf Tanzen? Diesen Samstag vielleicht? Dann würde ich vorschlagen: Mon Minou, ab 22. 00 Uhr, direkt unterm Harmonie Kino. Musik kommt von Sarrass, ist vorzugsweise elektronisch und begleitet wird er von einem Live-Saxophonisten. Freiburg geht steil, ich freu mich drauf!

Des sonorités orientées club, en gardant la touche LX-iR, et vous obtenez "Chocolate", qui est un peu la suite logique de "Bloody Mary" :) J'espère que vous aimerez ce chocolat, un chocolat à déguster en club :)
Et pour information, aprés les nombreuses demandes, un live LX-iR est en préparation. Si il y a des dates importantes, elles apparaitront de toute façon sur ma page.
Bye

Hi.
You can taste my new production "Chocolate" on my page. This is a mix of the French Touch club sounds with the LX-iR's touch :)
Hope you enjoy this chocolate ^^
By the way, I prepare my live set. If there are some important shows, you will be informed on my page.
Please stay on your own planet! We are sorry to say that we watched the Phoenix’s successful landing on Mars. Why are you here? We would like to know if this Peeping Tom behavior will ever end? Do we spy on you? Well…that’s another story.
PS You’ll never locate your first Polar Lander. It was just yummy. It is hard to describe the succulent taste of rare Earth metals. Please send more wreckage!
PPS A kindly reminder from the Robots From Mars… The First Law of Robotics only applies to synthetic beings of Earthly origin.
