As some of you asked, I re-recorded the mix I made at I Wanna Lick It party last month. Tracklist, streaming and downloading at Soundcloud. There also are some videos of the party here! Free tracks I made a danceable edit of classic '67 cosmic pop track "Contact" by Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg. It's getting huge success so far so download it here and spread the word. I took part to a remix competition of Mike Hulme's Sweet Inspiration for U&A Recordings. My remix got short listed but did not make it to the highest step. Good point is that it is now available for free download here! If you like dark techno, this one is for you! Talk to you soon!
In 1967, Serge Gainsbourg wrote Contact (amongst other songs) for Brigitte Bardot, a wonderful cosmic pop jewel.
In 2010, I made a little edit of this track, and regarding the amazing feedbacks I got about it, I thought I would give it away.

KRAKKEN REMIX COMPETITION WINNERS
Well, that was eventful! After 9000+ plays of the original, 300+ downloads of the sample pack and 40 entries, we’ve finally come to a conclusion. Thanks to everyone for entering, it was great to hear so many different takes on Hunter’s ‘Krakken’, from drum & bass and dubstep to house and hardcore!
Who would have thought a remix competition could cause such friction though?! DPR towers turned into a battleground from trying decide which remix deserves the final pick! After listening to some stunning reworks and scrutinizing until we could scrutinize no more, we’ve finally nailed it down… to two! Yes, after all the arguing and bickering we thought it only right that we shouldn’t pick one or the other. We’re men of our word, so both artists will each get their place on the DPR roster and bring a new edge to the label.
We’d like to congratulate Australian DIGITAL VIBRATIONS for his powerful yet low-slung, broken beat rendition, and Englishman ONE OFF for his atmospheric, dubby, new-garage twist. Both have truly flipped the lid on their remixes. Subtlety is at a maximum in both, using minute amounts of the samples, which left them to introduce their own signature haunting, emotive synths, pads and keys, fierce-yet-thoughtful drumlines and genial automation.
So enough of the chit-chat, help yourselves to a little taster of what’s in store from the guys for the forthcoming compilation!
We do love stumbling across new talent, none more so than Macedonia native Ilija Danilovski, better known as KineZzz. Rawkous tech house & techno are his penchant and he’s provided us with three extremely statuesque productions. His first release on DPR, the Delete EP, contains the electrifying ‘Cathode’, the chunky ‘Monster Cookie’ and the knock-you-sideways ‘Yuko’. Did we mention they’re free?! No? Well there you go… pleasant surprise eh?
We would like to welcome aboard a new label artist by the name of Ettica; to say we’re excited about releasing his work is an understatement as he’s been relentlessly shelling the Death Proof bunker over the past couple of months with bomb after bomb! His first outing is in the shape of ‘Premonition’, holding a funked-out yet moody techno groove, it’s subtly laced with a haunting vocal and stunning synth work. His second offering is in the shape of the energetic and anthemic ‘Is That Alright’; safe to say we at Death Proof think it’s more than alright!
Australia’s finest underground export Dopamine [Disconnected, Lot49, Traum] steps up first; with him settled in his new studio we see him produce a more than healthy slab of powerful, electro-enfused techno.
Up next steps Trust The Machine [Slap Jaxx, Transmissions]. When your work is championed by the likes of Dave Clarke, you know you’re onto a winner. His efforts provide a truly raw take on techno; slowly growing like the proverbial oak it soon becomes a remix of truly awesome size!
And to finish, Holland’s crown-prince of Electro, Guido Van Santen [Satan’s Circus,Slappa Da Bass], slams home a booming bass-heavy tech-house remix that promises to damage any dance floor, not to mention eardrums!
Now a firm regular of our Death Proof parties which we’ve been holding at Paris’s booming boat-come-club Batofar (last one with Alan Fitzpatrick, next one with Samuel L Session), zAm’X is quickly turning into something of a local hero with the calibre of his productions (check out his recent remix of The Omega Men’s ‘Girls Noize’). His first original activity on Death Proof comes in the shape of the growl, warp and obese throb of title track ‘Better Must Come’ and the sublime samba-enduced ‘Bloom Up’.
On remix duties, we take great pride in having the now legendary Lee Coombs, Los Angeles’ Dom Corleone and fellow Parisian Timakz. We are also very proud of having a special artwork collaboration from infamous French graphic designer Niark for this release.
Supported by Popof, Meat Katie, Malente, Taster Peter, Black Noise, Fat Too Loud, Dylan Rhymes, Circuit Freq General Midi to name but a few.
Death Proof Recordings introduces Anthony James, with his deep, atmospheric and emotive ‘Brazil’ and his equally deep and funk-fuelled ‘Blanked’
Undertaking remixes on ‘Brazil’ is the irrepressible Rektchordz, French phenoms Mellow, American techno-geist Lightknife and last but by no means least fellow countryman and tech-funker Stephen Cole.
Single of the month in Mixmag! Supported by Stupid Fresh, Far Too Loud, Taster Peter, Meat Katie, Lee Coombs, Dylan Rhymes and many more!
We welcome on Death Proof the true Queen of the Los Angeles techno scene: Audrey Napoleon. This Hollywood femme fatale is trying her damned hardest to make sure people stop to take notice, and with a release of this calibre she’s doing a mighty fine job of it! Having released some of her filthiest techno via Circuit Freq’s self titled label and a recent remix of D. Ramirez via the gargantuan Toolroom, we now take great pleasure in giving you her latest work: the rolling, twitching, orgasmic ‘Group Games’ and the melodic, minimalesque joint, ‘Mission Sleep’.
On remix duties is the UK’s funk-fuelled Frogs In Socks (Southern Fried, Phuture Trax); these guys are really coming on leaps & bounds (see what we did there?). Out comes the brass & keys on their remix of ‘Mission Sleep’, popping and jiving to make a real house classic!
And bringing up the rear, we’ve once again unleashed label owner Benjamin Vial; he’s taken it down a couple of notches to give us a low slung, throbbing, bass-laden techno affair, with a respectful nod to old school house à la ‘French Kiss’!
Supported by LAURENT GARNIER, CLAUDE VONSTROKE, ZOMBIE NATION and many more!!!
Releasing Manil Cacique’s works was one of the main reasons we started Death Proof Recordings. This young French globe-trotter has a fresh yet strong personality in his productions that will quickly find a vast audience.
His 1st EP consists of three beautifully, dark and powerful tracks. Mixing together heart wrenching melodies, face-melting deep basses and awkward-yet-extremely tight beats in a rich blend of what could have been the bastard child of an awkward ‘ménage a trois’ between Stephan Bodzin, Oliver Huntemann and Boys Noize.
Techno, Tech House & Breaks remixes come courtesy of brokenbeat-smith Gella (Fat!, Sub Slayers, U&A). Australia’s tech-funk guru, Butter Party (Trickery Collective, U&A, Lot49). Death Proof Label owner Benjamin Vial (Circuit Freq, Plasmapool) and finally the well-educated youngster Frankie Ferrell (Death Proof, 953) who is truly in a rich vein of form.
The Omega Men - Girls Noize is out now exclusively on Beatport.
Now sat on a great ensemble of productions found on Death Proof Recordings and Lot49, and taking plaudits from the likes of Meat Katie, Marco Bailey, The Dolphins, Jesse Voorn or The Micronauts, The Omega Men deliver their first EP proper, a double header of epic 4/4 proportions ‘Girls Noize’ & ‘Electric Kool Aid’.
With remixes byCaptain Magic (Lot49, Benefit), Johan Soh (Sound Of Habib, Underwater) & zAm’X (Expressillon, Minimalminuts)
We’d like to thank everyone for their pro-longed help so far and your responses to some of our work, we also hope to keep the standards you expect high and stay there.
DPR004 The Omega Men - Girls Noize/Electric Kool Aid - OUT NOW by Death Proof Recordings
Machine Electrique - La Machine is out now exclusively on Beatport.
With our first two releases still doing damage to many a dancefloor, Hunter Vaughan’s ‘Krakken’ and Frankie Ferrell’s ‘Get Down’, Death Proof Recordings take great pleasure in introducing you to our 3rd release of our new venture: Machine Electrique’s ‘La Machine’, with remixes by Kick-Oh, Charlie Kane, Anthony James and The Omega Men.
DPR003 Machine Electrique - La Machine - OUT NOW by Death Proof Recordings
Frankie Ferrell - Get Down is out now exclusively on Beatport.
The first of the EP is Get Down, a brutal, relentless Electro-Techno production. Immaculate synths lead the way with an undercurrent of well laid beats and vocal stabs; there’s no denying this was made for lazer-enduced dancefloors.
As you’ve noticed already, we don’t like to skimp on remix duties, so yet again we bring some heavyweight action to the table to take on Get Down: some of the UK’s premier producers in the shape of the South West’s Rektchordz & Robosapiens and to finish, another young upstart from Newcastle who’s making a big noise with them breaks at the moment, Ryan Galbraith.
Frankie finishes off the release with a bang: No Return, a devilish electro-house slice which picks away at yet another immaculate, punchy, wobbling synth, slowly growing with a techier house undercurrent and stabbing bassline. Low slung and dirty, something to get that top lip riding up!
DPR002 Frankie Ferrell - Get Down - OUT NOW by Death Proof Recordings

Hunter Vaughan - Krakken is out now exclusively on Beatport.
It is with great pleasure that Death Proof Recordings introduces you to its first release… Hunter Vaughan’s ‘Krakken’. The young American has stepped up to the plate and given what we believe to be the epitome of Techfunk. It’s a resounding statement of what he’s capable of and what we, the label, are going to be bringing to the table.
And to ensure we made our statement clear, a remix package of the highest calibre was brought forward, bringing the shining lights of the underground and recent times to the table including 10 Rapid, The Loops Of Fury, Hi! Population & The Omega Men.
DPR001 Hunter Vaughan - Krakken & Remixes OUT NOW by Death Proof Recordings

Nine Inch Nails are synonymous for their Industrial rock/electro. Tastefully, Benjamin Vial has utilised Trent Reznor’s unmistakable growl & enigmatic synths and warped the classic ‘Ringfinger’ into a rolling, jackin’, electro-tinged ass shaker, capable of moving any dancefloor. Please feel free to help yourselves.
To celebrate the launch of Death Proof Recordings, label mate, Benjamin Vial has been kind enough to put his party-fuelled production skills to a cheeky bootleg of the highest order. Taking Beastie Boys’ nutty 1986 release, ‘Girls’, he’s placed a rolling, bouncy, tech-laden beat underneath and chomped those famous vocals and samples to pieces. And if that aint enough, it’s FREE! Please help yourselves and show some love.
