June 2020

The next release of our small (but hefty) label Dangerhouse Skylab will be the perfect soundtrack of the post-deconfinement and the return of the good days... We have the pleasure to offer you in gatefold vinyl edition the magnificent album of the Bratchmen, The Easy Sound Of... released only on Cd in 1994... It took 25 years to see this jewel available in Lp... The band gathers the best of the Nice scene, with members of Dum Dum Boys, Playboys, Groovers, Zemblas in the line-up, assuming on the Lp's 14 tracks their boundless fascination for sunny pop, catchy melodies, precise choruses and 60's class aesthetics. .. Friends of 12-string, addictive compo and efficient arrangements, this is for you... No fat, filler or chatty solos here, only crystal, pure essences and elegant swaying... DSL 041, 500 ex, co-production with Ave The Sound (South of Nowhere) and F.F.Fascination, available on June 1st . Info and interview here...

The other upcoming release from our small (but hefty) label Dangerhouse Skylab is quite peculiar... We're leaving our comfort zone and pay tribute to Denis Lecarme, who left us at the beginning of last year... Total artist, one of the founders of the Lyon cold wave scene within Discipline, then L'Enfance Eternelle, followed by Le Bal Perdu and l'Orchestre de Poche, he never stopped writing and working since 1980... These two titles La Lumière / Seul l'Horizon were recorded with Fred Dubois, a musician he had been collaborating with for many years... This limited edition single was supposed to be reserved for a tribute evening scheduled this spring at the Transbordeur, where his musician friends (including members of l'Enfance, Gestalt, Opéra de Nuit and Rank RK) had planned to give a concert, but the sanitary situation decided otherwise... DSL 040, 300 numbered copies, red vinyl 7', insert with download code, released June 1st 2020.
