DF n°72, Interview with HOROLOGIUM, November 24th, 2008

In September 2008, we went to the Mediterranean Autumn Festival organized by David from La Esencia in Barcelona. It was the opportunity for us to meet some artists of the post-industrial scene, such as Horologium, the project from Grzegorz Siedlecki from Poland. We have often played his music so we wanted to see what it looked like on stage. Unfortunately, we got lost in the city and we arrived too late for his concert. We were quite disappointed but we talked with him anyway about his work.

DF n°71, Interview with HERMANN KOPP, November 10th, 2008

Hermann Kopp corresponds to our definition of the real artist, with a visionary strength and a very personal approach. Since his minimal electro classics Aquaplaning in Venedig and Pop in the very early eighties, and his soundtracks for Nekromantik, Nekromantik 2 and Der Todesking by Jörg Buttgereit, his violin-playing has just haunted our minds. We have met him in Barcelona as he had just released one of his masterpieces, Under a Demon's Mask on Galakthorrö. This is quite an extensive interview, and it was a great moment for us. We are still in touch with the artist, who is a very humble, interesting and kind person. You can only like him instantly. And we asked him to participate in our commemorative compilation-CD, Icy Breath on Burning Flesh, for which he created a fascinating piece inspired by Rimbaud's "Le Bal des Pendus". If you enjoy his universe, we played his music for three hours. Recommended for Kopp addicts!

DF n°70, Interview with ABSOLUTE BODY CONTROL, October 27th, 2008

This show was minimal synth-oriented with the kings of the genre, Absolute Body Control. We met them in Paris at a moment when they had just reformed. What is funny is that I think we had discovered the reverb function on the mixing table, so there are ridiculous echo effects on our voices at the beginning of the show.

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.
