DF n°62, Tribute to Eurociné, July 7th, 2008

During this show, we decided to focus on the film company Eurociné. It was also the opportunity to explore French B-movies and some of their soundtracks, notably those by Daniel J. White among others. Eurociné is mainly associated to genre cinema, notably the films of Jess Franco. They released all kinds of genre films : women in prison, nazisploitation, cannibal movies, etc. We invited our friend Christophe, a collector of all these weird movies and soundtracks. This radio show was thus a tribute to this deviant, strange, cheap and cult cinema.

DF n°58, Interview with LAIBACH, May 12th, 2008

On March 27th, 2008, The great industrial band Laibach came to play in Toulouse at the Havana Club, a venue that does not exist anymore. The concert was very impressive with a mixture of songs taken from Volk and WAT. We met Ivan Novak from the band at that moment and he offered us an extensive and very interesting interview. This is thus a very symphonic and martial show, in the company of this very charming man. The first minutes and the end of the show are missing. But if you like Laibach or want to know more about them, this is quite a nice moment!


Here are some of the songs we played :

GAE BOLG & THE CHURCH OF FAND, Larmes de Sang 

IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES, Sacred Worms 

DEATH IN JUNE, Kapitulation 

DER BLUTHARSCH, Untitled 

LAIBACH, Now you will pay, Vier Personen, Anglia, Kinderreich, Yisrael, Tanz mit Laibach, Herz-Felde, Entarte Welte, Turkiye

Interview with ROMAIN SLOCOMBE, September 2007

It sometimes happens but I do not remember at all when this radio show had taken place but it was approximately either in August or September 2007. What I know for sure is that the interview with Romain Slocombe was held in March 2007 and was later published in Timeless Magazine. I don’t remember neither all the music that we programmed, but it was really great, we focused on crazy Japanese-like music mixed with songs by Ground Zero, Boris Kovak, Toshiro Mayuzumi, People Like Us, DDAA, Superstrings, Throbbing Gristle, Ikue Mori, Hint, Gorgonzola Legs, Norma Loy, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Esplendor Geometrico or Graeme Revell. The show started and ended with Buddhist mantras and it was dedicated to the theme of Japanese dolls and prosthetic art, in the company of the great master of these questions, the writer and photographer, Romain Slocombe. We read excerpts from some of his books like Brume de Printemps, Saké de Brume or La Japonaise de St John’s Wood. The general atmosphere of it all is quite surrealistic. The interview was done in a gallery with a church-like reverb, and there’s traditional Japanese music playing in the background. Very strange.

Interview with THE DEAD BROTHERS, April 2007

Back in 2007. On March 31st, we met the guys from the Swiss band The Dead Brothers just before they played in a bar called Chez Pierre in Toulouse. The interview was made in their own car and it was totally improvised since I learned about this show at the last minute. However, I remember that the day after, they did an amazing show in a kind of circus decor just outside of the city, inside a big top. People just went crazy, and I discovered the trance-like aspect of their sound. It was very different from the melancholy atmosphere of an album like, let's say, Wunderkammer. The interview was broadcasted in April. The sound is not very good but it remains a nice souvenir anyway, since after that, the band stopped for a while and the line-up changed completely. Here I was with Pierre Omer and Christoph Gantert.

The other songs, apart from The Dead Brothers, are by Idiot Saint-Crazy, Duet Emmo and Ghédalia Tazartes.

DF n°34, Interview with JEAN-LOUIS COSTES, November 27th, 2006

Here is a very special and funny moment. On Monday 27th, 2006, the French performer and musician Jean-Louis Costes played in a big venue named Le Ramier, in Toulouse, very close to our radio studios. After the show, I invited Jean-Louis to join us at the radio station. It was around 3 or 4 in the morning when we did this interview. He even sang some excerpts from his show Les petits oiseaux chient live in the studio, in the company of Lisou Prout. Many friends were there too, and everything was improvised. It was chaotic and very intimate at the same time. Jean-Louis talked about his dreams, his fears, and the conversation went quite far. Then we went to sleep at my apartment, where Jean-Louis and Lisou were staying, and I think that the sun was already there when we fell asleep.

DF n°33, Interview with NEPTUNE, November 13th, 2006

On November 12, 2006, we met the American band Neptune for the first time as they were playing live in Toulouse in a wonderful venue named Le Clandé, a former brothel from the early XXth century. In fact, I discovered the band on that same day. Since then, we have met them several times, and we saw them play more than a dozen times. They are an amazing band on stage.

At the beginning of the show, we played songs by Borghesia, Laibach, Macrocoma, Ambiance Anonyme, Nightmare Lodge and MKB. And we played several songs from Patterns, which was their latest album at the time.

DF n°10, Interview with Trisomie 21, June 2nd, 2005

No need to introduce Trisomie 21. They have been a very important reference in France in the field of electronic music and "cold wave" sound. We are part of this generation who grew up listening to Passions Divisées, Wait and Dance or Million Lights, so it was a great honour when Hervé Lomprez accepted to come to our radio show. I was sick at that moment, so my voice is really strange. It seems that I am quite sad and on the verge of crying, but I was really happy to meet my teenage years heroes. They brought some records with them, as remixes of their Happy Mystery Child album were to come out, but I only found the first part of the show with the entire interview. Nevertheless, we learn a lot of things so if you like this band, you will enjoy it, for sure.
