Bahama Soul Club vs Isabelle Antena

I never learned to play an instrument, but if I could, I'd play either the percussion or the bass in a band like Bahama Soul Club . This German outfit plays a mix of bossanova, latin and jazz, with the sole purpose to make the audience move their asses. BHS uses various guestvocalists, like Pat Appleton from De-Phazz, but also the superlovely Isabelle Antena - one of the oz's (original zuchtmeisjes).

A Bout de Souffle is a very danceable song, referring ofcourse to the Godard movie, and features a lot sighing. Great! Bahama Soul Club feat. Isabelle Antena - A Bout de Souffle.

Camino del sol/Pure Pacha 2007

Pete Tong and Sarah Main Pure Pacha Album 2007



Pete Tong’s Pure Pacha party is now into its 5th year. With record-breaking numbers and exceptional guests Pure Pacha retains its title as the king of elegant and debauched partying. With a beautiful ‘extended family’ of like minded people at play every Friday night and always to the soundtrack of edgy house music, eclectic soul and hip hop - Pure Pacha is where it’s at.

What better way to mark this celebration of summer than with the next instalment of the Pure Pacha album mixed by Pete Tong and Sarah Main. An eclectic offering as Pete goes straight into things with Antena’s ‘Camino Del Sol’, a deeply hypnotic, bleep-laden track hotly followed by Pete’s cut of the summer ‘Every Heartbeat’ by Kleepup with vocals from Robyn. Producer de jour Mark Ronson also features with his smash ‘Stop Me’. Pete’s own production with Paul Harris and Jay P ‘Wonderland’ is on there - the best example of a tribute to all that is trippy and techy if ever there was one; it sits neatly alongside James Zabiela and Nic Fanciulli’s One+One offering ‘No Pressure’, with its beautifully crafted strings and atmospheric break down this makes for one unforgettable mix.

Sarah starts with an altogether funkier groove. Carl Kennedy’s ‘Ride the Storm’ and Nu Frequency ‘Love Sick’ tick all the boxes. Then dipping her toe into a more 4am sound with Magik Johnson’s ‘Eastern Lights’, before returning to her disco-fuelled Studio 54 fantasy in the form of Beginerz ‘Ape Stalking’. It draws to a close with a new track from the legendary Billie Ray Martin - ‘Undisco Me’. It does exactly what it says on the tin, an acid fringed track, it makes for one epic ending.

Confirmed guests for the 2007 Pure Pacha parties include Groove Armada, F*ck Me I’m Famous with David Guetta, Alex Neri and some special Il Muretto parties amongst others. Pete is excited to announce a much-anticipated date with the ultra talented Trentmoller on September 14th.

Pure Pacha is also renowned for its imaginative artwork and poster campaigns. This year the relationship with Christian Audigier is extended as Pete and Christian have created something very special around the theme of classic playing cards, poker and tattoos! This artwork has been continued to the CD.

Versions speciales / Soul seduction 's review

Final release in the rework series for Antena's classic album "Camino Del Sol". NYC's Escort deliver pure summer sweetness in their disco version of "Seaside Weekend", Austria's DJ Enne turns "Achilles into a dirty jazz track and Pink Alert (Running Back) re-interpret "Joppo + Eno" in Tom Tom Club style.
Escort: These guys from NYC could be the next Scissor Sisters. They are fantastic musicians and love disco and know the score. And what can we say, their remix is a hit. Perfectly arranged summer sweetness - sing along music.
DJ Enne: Permvac buddy, DJ veteran and snowboard heroe Enne from Austria wanted to put hands on one of his all time classics "Achilles" a track he played everytime in his cosmic years back in the 80s. His version is cool jazz, deep and dirty, we love it.
Pink Alert: We liked Pink Alert so much, we adopted them, locked them in our basement with our record collection, equipment and some chickas and after a while they came out with this excellent extended re-edit of "Joppo + Eno" in a NYC loft style. All tracks are perfect summer tunes for all balearic and slow-mo disco heads out there.

Antena/Steve Yanko (The Boy on Permanent)

Disco From Ipanema

Permanent Vacation has had a busy year in 2007, with a number of solid releases from Kathy Diamond, an amazing 12-inch single from Ilya Santana, and the second Antena remix 12-inch. Now this relatively new, however upcoming label from Munich, Germany has just released a new 12-inch from Toronto native Steve Yanko, which includes a collaboration with Isabelle Antena to create a new dubbed out disco-house version of Antena's "The Boy From Ipanema", originally off the classic Camino Del Sol LP. On the flip side of this single entitled The Boy, Steve Yanko drops a solid disco party track in "Prostitute Pink". Both songs are amazing, and it's hard to say which track I enjoy more. Either way you look at it, Permanent Vacation has added another amazing single to their ever-growing classic collection. I can't wait to hear what they have in store for us next.

CD: Antena – Camino Del Sol – Permanent Vacations – VÖ: 06.10.06

Die drei Franzsosen der Gruppe Antena hatten bereits in den frühen Achzigern New Wave, Electronika und die Sounds der Copa Cabana vermischt – und waren ihrer Zeit voraus. Was sich auf den ersten Blick sehr schwierig und unkonventionell anhört, ist in der Tat eine mehr als interessante Mischung. Dieses, bis dato nicht gekannte Crossover, fand in Insider-Kreisen hohen Anklang. Heute soll dafür gesorgt werden, dass mehr Leute von der damaligen Innovation erfahren. Das Münchner Label P.V. veröffentlicht deswegen „Camino Del Sol“ für alle die es wiederentdecken wollen. Remixe von den schwer angesagten Todd Terje und Joakim werden als 12inches folgen. Man darf also weiter gespannt sein...

Camino del sol/picadilly records review

In 1981, Isabelle Powaga, Pascale Moiroud and Sylvain Fasy decided to leave their sleepy hometown in the south of France for the City Of Lights. Taking their love for the mechanical electronics of Kraftwerk, the Latin sounds and rhythms of Jobim & Gilberto and a few suitcases, they formed the band Antena. Signing with Belgium's Les Disques Du Crepescule (which formed an alliance with Factory, creating Factory Benelux), in 1982 they travelled to London to record their version of "The Boy From Ipanema" with ex-Ultravox electronic pioneer John Foxx for a 7" release, tagged 'electro-samba' by a pre-Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennent in Smash Hits. However it was their own self-produced material of later twelves and mini album release "Camino Del Sol" that made the most impression. Definitely rougher in sound, this was the real electro-samba! The title track is a Balearic classic and was recently remixed for a special 12" by Todd Terje and Joakim.
