About Dax Riders
French electronica outfit Dax Riders (named after the Honda Dax ST-70 motorbike) burst into the local scene in 1994 with the release of "Faster Than a Dax." Cédric Azencoth aka Bad Ced, known for promoting the first House Party of Paris in 1991, teamed up with Olivier Ruel aka Daxman, who began playing in a glam/rock band and then turned into hip-hop. Argentine self-taught multi-instrumentalist Nicolas Berger-Vachon (born 1975) aka Erman joined them in 1999. That same year the threesome released their debut album, Dax. Backintown followed in 2001, including the hit single "People," also featured in Laissons Lucie Faire's soundtrack. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Love Lockdown KanYe West |
| KanYe West keeps on challenging the limits of hip-hop: if "Graduation" was his pop album, the first single from "808s and Heartaches" sees the star going all soulful and expanding the most spiritual side of former highlights such as "Jesus Walk" or "Can't Tell me Nothing". Arguably the first interactive recording ever made, thanks to the KanYe's official blog; when the original mix was posted, many fans reacted sending an avalanche of negative feedback; maybe it was the use of popular pitch-altering software autotune, abused in recent times by everyone from Cher to T-Pain, that led the audience to revolt and ended up with the notorious perfectionist re-recording the vocals and adding some taiko drums to highlight its minimal beat, imitating a heart pounding; posting it again afterwards for general approval. Not happy with that, he later went the Radiohead way, making six different stems (vocals, drums, piano, etc.) available for fans to remix the song themselves. "Love Lockdown" can be seen as West upgrading himself from rapper to proper soul singer and is one of his more inspired and powerful moments to date. A mind-blowing closing performance at this year's VMAs ignited a chart frenzy all over the world and it looks set to last for a few months. | |
