Playing French House at Le Knight Club!

Hey guys I'm back and this time I wanted to tell you guys about one of my favourite French House Artists. French House and once again to quote Wikipedia is ,"French house is a catch-all term for house music by many French artists, a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music scene and a form of Euro disco. The genre has also been referred to as "neu-disco" (new disco, distinct from the non-house "nu-disco" revival), "French touch", "filter house" and "tekfunk" over the years. The defining characteristics of the sound are heavy reliance on filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples of late 1970s and early 1980s American or European disco tracks. Celebrated and successful purveyors of this music include Daft Punk,^[1] Cassius and Etienne de Crécy. Most tracks in this vein feature steady 4/4 beats with a tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute." 

The group i chose this time is Le Knight Club. They consist of Guy-Manuel-Homem-De-Christo and Eric Chedeville. They were a french house group under their own label Crydamoure and they are from France. They didn't release many of their own albums but rather made compilation albums with upcoming french house artists  on them as well as a few of their  own songs. The song that I chose to review by Le Knight Club, Holiday On Ice doesn't have a meaning in my opinion, but if I were to describe it I would describe it as a: smooth, relaxed, classic french house song.

Le Knight Club's first compilation album Waves featuring Holiday On Ice.

Now the things i really like about this song are the nice bassline and the light, "pulsey" synth which are all mixed together with the catchy beat in the background. I also love how its danceable without having to be super intense or fast paced like dubstep or rave music and that it sounds good without being too complex. It's what i think Le Knight Club( and most French House artists) do  so well, which is making a simple song that doesn't seem boring or that sounds like everything else that's out there today and basically making something original and new and fresh.  I can't relate to this song in any personal connections except for the fact that when i download this onto my ipod, every time i go out somewhere I'll be listening to this chill (pun intended) song! So I guess that's it for now and I'll see you next time with some more House/Electro music and artists!
