New French Electro Releases
A selection of up-coming and recent releases from some of the best French electro musicians on the scene today:
New EP: “Earth. Home. Destroyed” out on May 7th
A mere 20 years of age, Dream Koala, has begun to situate himself upon the international electro scene with style, performing in New York during CMJ last October, and earning himself a featured interview spot as part of H&M’s artist campaign, “H&M Loves Music“. Born to Brazilian parents, raised in Paris and now calling creative hot-spot Berlin home, Yndi Kerreira makes dreamy electronica looped with mercury-like electric guitar lines and falsetto.
About his upcoming EP, the very talented Dream Koala says, “The storyline paints a future where all the animals disappeared from Earth, where the oceans are devouring the continents and where the harmony of nature was broken by humans.”
TRACK LIST:
I . Saturn Boy
II . Gold
III . From The Sun
IV . Earth
V . A Cosmic Landscape
New Album, With Julia, released April 22nd
Born out of romance and wayward soul-searching adventures of a Marseillais musician in the streets of New York, With Julia is a funky mix of dream-pop, electro, fat & dance-floor-ready bass lines, laid-back female vocals, and shimmering sounds. “Blow Up” is sure to be a standout for 2014.
TRACK LIST
1 – Blow Up
2 – My Baby
3 – Prince Vince
4 – Boom Boom #2
5 – Does She?
6 – I Don’t Know How

Physical release of the soundtrack to You and the Night (Les Rencontres Après Midi) on MUTE Records.
The latest from the French man (Anthony Gonzalez) who made “Midnight City“, M83 returns in rare fashion with the physical release to his brother’s November 2013 comedy, You and the Night.
“The soundtrack pays tribute to French soundtracks from the 70’s and is much more intimate than ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’ and the ‘Oblivion’ Soundtrack. This score is really for lovers and ghosts.”
