DESIRE 094EP
|
Mort à Vegas (trans. "Death in Vegas") is the new 12" EP by Adrien Viot aka AV, one of the finest protagonists of the French electronic pop scene. AV sings about nightlife, paid sex, alcohol consumption, desire under the neon lights, and the dark side of the American dream, while driving a black Cadillac drunk to death. This 12" EP contains a dreamlike remix by Death In Vegas (as the track was probably written with them in mind) and also a cover of French singer Dominique A's "Hotel Congress," who is known in France for launching the "new French scene" that drove the renewal of French pop. Includes mp3 download code.

DESIRE 081EP
|
AV is the work of young French artist Adrien Viot and Venus Bar is his first release. Rather than lighting candles to his old '80s glory, he prefers to invite them inside the chaos of his generation. The synth from Suicide, Kraftwerk's DNA, and Taxi Girl are tattooed on AV, but he's far from being one of those '80s revivalists; his production is current, dirty but rigorous, his writing cheeky and heady. AV describes Paris and his own spiritual wandering. Often carnal and vicious, his texts are similar to Serge Gainsbourg meets French cult singer Christophe. Includes mp3 download code.
