give me pain
Posted 19 Oct 09
What can we expect from a guy who is fond of the work of Bret Easton Ellis, David Bowie and Jeff Mills? A young man who electrifies club crowds with his arsenal of machines and then, out of the blue, gets all guitars out to the crowd's surprise, always on the look for ways to rewrite the rules of the dancefloor game? An atypical "Made In France" producer who established his headquarters in London and spends most of his time on the road to play his music on possibly every stage this planet holds? The answer is in his much anticipated debut effort, Yes Is More, or the hottest soundtrack of the winter to come and Give Me Pain, out this week.
This first 7" single is the perfect foretaste for it, and crystallizes the essence of these worlds without being pedantic or trying to give lessons. The tunes, being too busy celebrating the lust for life, won't give too many clues to the self-appointed experts who will have a hard time putting them into any given category. As the beats and melodies unfold themselves under the pressure of the turntable's cartridge, every expectation our so-called "Society Of Cool" is hacked up to pieces, every barrier fades away... but always does so in style. The music gets your foot tapping and your mind going remote places in a snap. You're never asked to choose between one or the other.
Danton sings out loud his desire for liberty and whispers naughty, unspeakable things to your ear at the same time. This paradox finds his origins in his random encounters he makes on his way. His frantic pace pushes him to the boundaries styles, a perfect place to reshuffle freely funk, pop, techno, RnB and what not. His voices bends itself sinfully on the robotic and yet organic riffs of “Give Me Pain”, while it enlightens the dark alleys of his troubled slow dance, "Vivid love".
