French electronic music...Recommendations?

Teeej [Edit] [Delete] 45 replies 21:00 August 4th, 2009

I watched 'The beat that my heart skipped' last night and fancy listening to some french indie/electro stuff....something a bit sexy, sultry with a bit of funk attached.

Ahem.

Any recommendations?

igorrr is both french and electronic

Poison Soluble is a good album, samples classical music, and, in parts, black metal vocals (for some reason)

not rly funky tho, 7/10 album, give it a listen, its interesting at least

There's a couple of artists worth having a listen to on here if you're after that kind of stuff

I quite liked the Anoraak tune on there in a Neon Neon sort of way.

I don't know if you'd consider it funky enough but M83's Saturdays = Youth has some sexiness and sultriness, and is generally just hazy, French and brilliant.

    Michelle = the female version of the name Michel
    Michel = Michael

    You cant really go wrong with Daft Punk even indie lovers have got Daft Punk since their debut album. Tellier is good too his last album was produced by one of Da Punk... The Punk solo stuff is well nice too.

  - this is the point where i'd post a link to his 'psyche rock' track from 1967
    
    which later got reworked as the futurama theme tune. but i can't, because youtube are being soundproofed by the man. it's a good track, too.

      Not particularly electronic - but definitely French.
      "Satyred Love" is one of the best albums of the Noughties.
