Allez-allez

Defeatist Allez-allez

For the past three years, Allez-Allez have developed an enviable reputation as two of London's most in demand and respected bloggers, DJs and remixers. Their weekly podcast (www.allez-allez.co.uk) has featured guest appearances from the likes of Four Tet, Nathan Fake, Ewan Pearson, Matias Aguayo, Tobias Thomas, Hot Chip, Animal Collective and Optimo to name but a few, they have played host to Kompakt's series of London parties at Plastic People including Supermayer, The Field, Gui Boratto and DJ Koze amongst others, as well as DJ dates in Berlin, Barcelona, Krakow, Cologne and beyond. They are also soon to launch their own imprint Amazing Sounds, with the first release of Harmonia & Brian Eno remixed by Shackleton & Appleblim! Well received, forward thinking Allez-Allez remixes for the likes of Fever Ray, Simian Mobile Disco, Hot Chip and Telepathe are now followed by a debut single for Cologne's highly respected Kickboxer imprint. Part of Kompakt's associated labels, the track (entitled 'Defeatist') is a growling analogue peak time stormer, backed with 'Slump' a melancholic kraut epic described by Optimo's JD Twitch as sounding "like Chris & Cosey riding a flying hoover over the city in Blade Runner". The package features a slamming remix by Border Community's Ricardo Tobar, which has already been rocking the crowds from the record boxes of none other than BC boss James Holden and krautronica master Four Tet now for some time! Also included are two rerubs by winners of the FOEM remix competition - Soundcaster and Karizmxxxx that twist the original into exciting new shapes for diverse dancefloors.
