By the end of the 1990's, French Disco House music was ruling clubland. Daft Punk had delivered a groundbreaking album, and labels like Roule and Crydamoure were putting out 12" records that were the most raw sounding and hard edged grooves that had a very Punk Rock D.I.Y feel to them.



They were sampling Disco loops in unusual ways and filtering them on top of rough and ready beats. They hit you hard and they hit you direct, which is what dance music should do. But most important of all those records put France firmly on the dance music map as a serious outlet for electronic music. Yes there was F communications which was a fine label with St Germain, but it would be several years towards the end of the decade where French Disco & Funky House producers would be up there at the top.













Between 1992 and 1996 European Disco House was very exciting, and every week these mysterious and unusual looking records with their almost unpronounceable names and import stamped inner labels would arrive in the stores and by the weekends would be rocking the dance floors across the UK.
