Artist: Femme En Fourrure
Title: ‘Plump Bisquit’ w/ Sharkslayer remix
Release date: 5th February 2010

Femme En Fourrure aka Juuso & Bianca, our fellow disco / house lovers from Helsinki have been making waves witheir minimalistic yet bass-heavy house sound lately. Juuso has been known as disco-enthusiast and now with a female companion, they create a house sound that’s very much 2010. They’ve done remixes for Crystal Fighters, Edu K, Myd (‘Train To Bamako’) anyone, huge ep that one) and a release for Dandy Kids records last year, so it’s time to release a single from them on Top Billin. As Femme En Fourrure and Sharkslayer are friends, what would be more appropriate than a Sharkslayer remix/‘demon dub’ (a true soundboy burial) to accompany the single. This for the ones who love that techier side of house but with soft deep subs and airhorns. If you play that Renaissance Man / Sound Pellegrino style as well as some Sinden / Crookers vibes, you might find this relevant to your interests. There’s a lot more in the pipeline from the dynamic duo, so keep watch.

Was his album 10 years ago? Time flies…. too fast. ‘Battle’ & ‘What’s Going On’ were the big guns on the album but for me the best of em was the flip of the first 12″, ‘Scrappy’. Totally relevant also today. Need to dig out more Uk Garage classics I feel…

Noppa 005 aka Desto EP is out today. Support the man, witness how “Finns do it better” and cop the vinyl or digital e.g. on Juno.

Blackdown : “Absolute Noppa!”
Joker : “2 words – Goon Music.”
Headhunter : “This one been a mainstay in my sets for months now, Noppa providing the usual sickness!”
Nick Argon : “Clean gloves hide dirty hands and Desto’s are dirtier than most.”
Rossi B : “probably the first EP I’ve listened to the whole way through in at least a year”

But his could be the song of the year if Helsinki 78-82 didn’t exist.

Saturday Saturday…. Remember Fila’s? I had a pair. If you check the tune above and dl today’s rip below, you understand why Fila Fesh Crew is awesome. D.O.C of the crew was somewhat associated with World Class Wreckin Crew (lovin the jacket Dre) and did a lot of writing for Ruthless. It all makes sense to me now, the cuckoo, yawning, covering pop songs into drink anthems, Ruthless records. End shout cracks me up big time, going for a Lotto now.

Being a fan of Took & Emynd, this is more than appropriate.

Every great song needs to have a VIP, and Sekta’s ‘Peterpan’ is no exception. It has such a massive drive and a killer bass so it deserves a special version. The original release is out and making a great impact with the djs and the crowds, so go get it. While waiting for the remix ep, get the free VIP below.

Here’s another disco / new wave tune for you to enjoy. If Wally Badarou isn’t familiar to you, let’s put him on the map: Worked with such artists like Grace Jones, Herbie Hancock & Joe Cocker plus he has done some keyboard work for Level 42.

Time to rip some lost records… Remembered this while I was trying to hunt down my MFSB album with ‘Something For Nothing’ (can’t find it, need an aif rip PLS). This little Jay-Z/Paul Nice boogie vibed remix has started many parties. Eventhough the original is kool, this one’s for me.

HELSINKI 78-82 EP by  TOP BILLIN

Watch video for the track Cruising here.

INFO:

Right on the heels of our previous bass/electro smasher, we hit you with the most anticipated house/disco record of recent times.

Helsinki 78-82 is a project by Top Billin team members Flipper & Koobra, who’ve always been active and always been down to bring something new to the label. While Flipper is part of the Top Billin dj team and has always been the most high-flying of us, so no wonder the the new 12” is some musical bliss that’ll leave you feeling that good good. This is what we call Big City House music, when you’re cruising the streets at night with the top down - no words needed. In a manner Michael Mann would be proud of.

‘So Lifelike’ is a ‘sort of’ remake of Lifelike’s great ‘ So Electric (under permission)’, although this time it comes with vocals from our great Helsinki new wave partners Villa Nah. If you are in need of a new end-nighter, this is it. ‘Cruising’ is a tune full of that pumping big city feel with driving drums and great synth work that will get them ladies on the floor and will fit into those funky house / modern disco sets. We even have a video for it, but it’s a different kind of cruising than you think (no Al Pacino). Digital release will feature also one tough-thumping house monster titled ‘Project 2′.

We’ve been playing this since last summer and it’s been a staple at daytime radioshows where we come from and greatly welcomed by some of our top dj friends who’ve gotten it early (we know, unfair, but life is) like:

‘So Lifelike is the JAM’ – Diplo
‘So Lifelike is so great!’ – Nick Catchdubs, Fools Gold Records
‘This isn’t only a surprise but a true treat for the ears.” -Turntable Lab

Get this future classic in your record box as we have a limited pressing only and no more will be made. We also hope this will give you as good feelings as it gives to us.

Sincerely,
TB TEAM

PS. Get a mix Helsinki 78-82 did for the constantly awesome
White Light -mixseries as a bonus!

PPS. Interesting fact: those little vocal chops in ‘Cruising’ are actually from Monsieur Teki.
