Toolbox Records - Paris, FR

On my recent trip to Paris, I was lucky enough to visit the infamous Toolbox Records - located in the hip 11th arrondissement on Rue St. Ambroise (also a short walk from Jim Morrison's resting place). When I informed a close friend of mine that I was going to be in Paris and wanted to pick up some of the obscure, French banger records that I couldn't find digitized on the net, he pointed me here.
George and Ivan. These two were super helpful. I kept asking for them to pull out their favorite records and I wasn't disappointed. Each time I'd head to a turntable to listen to a stack, they'd start putting on AMAZING tracks on the store's main turntable that would blow my mind.
Sadly, they were out of the one record I was looking for, Sa Bat' Machines new 12". But they clearly are in the know in Paris and were able to call the Sa Bat' producer, Stefan to bring a copy and hang out for a bit. He also previewed his newest track (made exclusively on Ableton, I had to mention) from his USB key.
Stefan from Sa Bat' Machines.

I'll leave you with a sweet Reso track I picked up at Toolbox:

Reso - If Ya Can't Beat 'Em

Artist of the Day: Akira Kiteshi

From Last.fm, "Akira Kiteshi is Edinburgh based producer Tommy Forrest. His sound ranges from almost un-danceable wonk and glitch-hop to club bangers, dubstep and organic soundscapes."

That pretty much sums him up.

This guy is comin up big, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is a household name among djs by the end of the year. Gizmo turned me onto him a week or two ago with one of his recent singles on Black Acre Records called 'Pinball' - which is ILL.

buy the Pinball/Noglitch 12"



The main excitement for me though is Akira Kiteshi's exclusive mix for Electronic Explorations (show 071, 04.02.09), Rob Booth's (aka Surgeon) fantastic radio show. The mix is called 'Chive Hunny and the Plaster Fixers Bukakke Special'.
