Get out your Harraps French to English Dictionary, for here is an interview avec moi on Le Hardcore Continuum for the magazine Trax, conducted by Benjamin Pietrapiana.
Connected to the Audimat publication of my selected thoughts on all things Nuumy aka Hardcore
In the Trax piece, I noticed just one garbling in the transcription / translation - where the Ari Up sample from the start of Slits' "Luv Und Romance' that features in Splash's "Babylon" - "Babylon lovers!" - has been rendered as "Babylon loves us"!
Ah, apparently this is the final issue of Trax
"The editor of the electronic music media announced last week the forthcoming disappearance of the title.... 'As in all beautiful parties, whether we like it or not, sometimes the light has to be turned on again at the end'.... After twenty-six years of precarious existence within the music press, the magazine will have retained a bold editorial line, without snobbery.... The case ends with a ghost number, the 236th, not found on newsstands (but downloadable for free here). Reading its 200 pages, we measure the loss, between interviews with the most exciting artists of the moment – Ascendant Vierge, 100 Gecs, Overmono, the rapper Hamza –, meeting with the British critic Simon Reynolds or story of the genesis of a strange disc of Corsican electronic music."
But when I checked again, the link to the adieu-ish pdf seems to have gone dead...
