The Blaze (band)
The Blaze are the French Paris-based music and video duo Guillaume and Jonathan Alric. The duo are cousins and produce ambient EDM. Musical career Guillaume Alric and Jonathan Alric began making music together when Jonathan, who was at film school in Brussels, asked Guillaume to work with him on a music video soundtrack. As a duo they took the name The Blaze. They have explained that in addition to the strength and warmth suggested by the name, it means "name" in French slang. Their distinctive integrative method involves producing sound and visuals at the same time, creating an especially strong link between music and image. In January 2016 they released their debut video, "Virile," on Brodinski's Bromance Records. It won the UK Music Video Award (UKMVA) for Best Alternative Video - International in 2016. On 7 April 2017 they released their debut EP, ''Territory'', on the new Animal 63 label (headed by management and publishing company Savoir Faire and Believe Digital). The E ...

French House
French house, also known as French touch, filter house and tekfunk, is a style of house music originally produced by French musicians in the 1990s. It is a form of Euro disco and a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music scene. The defining characteristics of the sound are reliant on filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples from late 1970s and early 1980s American or European disco tracks (or original hooks strongly inspired by such samples), causing thicker harmonic foundations than the genre's forerunners. Most tracks in this genre are in time and feature steady four on the floor beats in the tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute. French house is similar to future funk, although there are some key differences. Purveyors of French house include Daft Punk, Stardust, Cassius, The Supermen Lovers, Modjo and Étienne de Crécy. History and influences French house is greatly influenced by the lineage of American dance music fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
