Mr Oizo – Patrick 122 (2007)ĭealing chiefly in electro, including his Levi’s-promoting UK No 1 Flat Beat, Mr Oizo is also behind this meltdown-inducing track that cuts up Do It at the Disco by Gary’s Gang with scissors so blunt they’d be approved for toddlers. The sped-up Pharrell verse sounds superb and is a reminder of the sample-friendly special relationship between French touch and hip-hop (J Dilla memorably sampled Extra Dry by Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter, for instance). They combined on this glorious remix, with Van Helden brazenly dispensing with the original beat entirely, slotting in a one-bar loop from Black Ivory’s Mainline and bumping it so hard it picks up flecks of distortion. Uffie – ADD SUV ft Pharrell (Armand Van Helden vocal remix) (2010)įrench touch-adjacent Parisian club kid Uffie was a sort of proto-Kesha rapping over beats that ranged from electro to Velvet Underground samples US producer Armand Van Helden was clearly in thrall to French touch when he made the disco-sampling UK No 1 You Don’t Know Me.

Para One was best known at the time for his remix of Daft Punk’s Prime Time of Your Life – it became the definitive version – and has since become film director Céline Sciamma’s go-to musical collaborator: he wrote the spellbinding Latin chant at the heart of Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and the giant choral synthwave ballad in Petite Maman. With a vocal cut up so it sounds like someone arguing with you down an unreliable phone line, a classic piano-house rhythm and a reach-for-the-lasers extended breakdown, this is a secret weapon from latterday French touch. Para One – Midnight Swim (Surkin Drowning mix) (2007) Play as a 128kbps mp3 for maximum period authenticity. Purists will quibble but for me this style is an assured part of French touch, with funk intact and samples more finely chopped than ever – and this deep cut, with its deliriously brilliant melody, is an example of how the era made tinny compression a virtue (sometimes). Tepr – Minuit Jacuzzi (datA remix) (2007)Īs the 00s rolled on and Daft Punk became the scene’s biggest and most influential stars, French touch gradually moved away from house and towards electro in what was known as “blog house”, played by people in American Apparel hoodies who looked as if they hadn’t eaten a vegetable in weeks.
