{"product_id":"various-artists-french-touch-anthology","title":"Various Artists - French Touch Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Parisian clubs in the mid-90s, French Touch was first associated with filtered house music—those disco loops run through an analogue filter that became the sonic signature of an entire generation. But reducing this movement to that single sound would be a mistake: for three decades now, its true strength has lain in its ability to reinvent itself and embrace an impressive stylistic diversity, ranging from downtempo to techno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its origins, figures like Dimitri From Paris and St Germain laid the groundwork for a sound steeped in disco and jazz, while Daft Punk, Alan Braxe \u0026amp; DJ Falcon and Modjo delivered cult anthems, and Bob Sinclar built a sun-drenched house sound that would go on to transcend the club scene. Outliers like Gotan Project, blending electronic music with tango, already proved that the movement refused to be confined to a single register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stylistic spectrum has only continued to widen. On one side, craftsmen of pure techno and electro like Vitalic or Laurent Garnier; on the other, downtempo virtuosos like Kid Loco and DJ Cam or, more recently, Kid Francescoli and Thylacine, with their hazy, cinematic atmospheres. In between lies an infinite range of nuances: the synthwave house of Kavinsky, the groovy touch of Kungs or Polo \u0026amp; Pan, the organic productions of Bertrand Burgalat, Sébastien Tellier or Nouvelle Vague, not to mention the Afro and Brazilian hybridizations of the Africanism collective. Today, the scene remains very much alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolamour, NTO and Worakls carry on this eclecticism, balancing warm house and melodic techno, while Fakear or Petit Biscuit inject dreamier electronic textures. This box set will take you on a journey through the heart of this stylistic diversity across the decades, from the genre's pioneers to its newest talents. Because ultimately, what unites all these artists is neither a tempo nor a specific sonic palette, but a demand for production excellence and a taste for experimentation. French Touch is not a genre—it's an attitude!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAGRAM MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl Box Set","offer_id":55799239803207,"sku":"TRI-83244","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/CAR_20261109_1200_122928_659_p_pdf_link_20261109120150_051.jpg?v=1794313827","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/various-artists-french-touch-anthology","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
