Slutterhouse Remix / Metric – Collect Call by Ringside Production

Love,

Article in French here and English translation below:

“Let’s say it right away: Slutterhouse is a discovery that is really worth checking out. With ‘Made in Dance’, a first album written between Paris and Beirut, Rabih Salloum and Nabil Saliba managed to conciliate their tastes for rock and electro with great skillfulness. Because their little crossover sounds rather new and right. The combination of their respective influences gives birth to an electropop of quality, varied, very well produced, without however taking itself too seriously.

Each out of the 10 tracks of ‘Made in Dance’ is interesting. Amongst them, we shall particularly remember Doe-eyed that already makes you want to dance. We also really love French Robot Leuve and Her Face with their subtle electro sounds that remind us of Finitribe‘s golden era (Rabih’s voice sounds is indeed very similar to Finitribe, especially on these 2 tracks). Of course, the single Inside the Station is well chosen, for it is unstoppable: played loud, it could wake up a whole cemetery! And then, the song Made in Dance that insures a very personal coolness. In our opinion though, it’s the more atmospheric tracks – like You’re So – that impose the biggest respect, as much as they’re reminiscent of the wonderful birth of electropop. You’re So itself reminds us of The Beloved‘s best tracks.

In one word, just like in ten words, the Slutterhouse duo has brilliantly managed to enter the club of the new electro groups that one should know about, showing a real personality and a beautiful freshness; two things that are becoming more and more rare nowadays. And then, it’s so much better than Daft Punk and Justice combined.”

Interesting fact: it was Fritz who’d taught me one of the dance moves you see in the Slutterhouse Blues video a couple of years ago in Paris!
