Review:
Pont Neuf serve up yet more of the Parisian underground’s finest sounds, with their third installment in the Habemus Paname series. Beginning with KX9000’s undeniably French Touch influenced tribute “Requiem Pour Un Boogie”, the zeitgeist is recaptured again on Tour-Maubourg’s “Anyway You Want” which brings the funk (and the mandatory use of filter sweeps) on this emotive and soulful jam. Hot duo Alva, who served up one of 2017’s standout releases with their French Kicks EP, return with more sexy late night deepness on “Louxor Funk” which calls to mind the early sounds of local hero D’Julz. Elsewhere, Cosmonection turn up the heat on “Dust In Space” which is sure to pack the dancefloor with its razor sharp Juno bassline, cosy pads and swing fuelled rhythm and, by contrast, label staple Taos delivers a nice cosmic downbeat moment to chill to in conclusion.
