Danger! Danger! Danger!

Every once in a while a really exciting artist comes along and blows peoples minds. It is without doubt, that I believe Danger! to be one of the best new talents. There have been little glimpses of Danger on the blogs as of recent, and the hype is no bullshit.

Several months ago, the brilliant French label Ekleroshock, known for it's great artist selection snatched up a fresh faced 23 year old Franck Rivoire only 3 weeks after posting his tunes to myspace. Rivoire, a graphic designer and illustrator by day, has an amazing amount of support through the label, while quickly climbing to wunder-kid status by already being playlisted by Kavinsky, Boys Noize, and Data (and of course me!!!!).

"Know this, we are proud of Danger, and confident that his talent is worthy of our ambitions for him. His music is a reflection of the feelings and sensations of the most extreme of our existence; ecstasy, anxiety, fear, the sublime, the agony. It is a question of life and death, victory, but in any case of defeat. You are warned."

If you haven't heard Danger! yet, please please do yourself a favor. It's a rare treat these days to listen to a tune, let alone a whole host of tunes, that can kill a dancefloor yet keep you engaged in it's screen play. Rivoire's music is hard, funky, and dark while retaining an incredible amount of imagery, tonality, and plot. Danger is the definitely the freshest thing on the set right now. Lofty expectations for this such a young voice.


Danger's album First EP is in stores (check Ekleroshock's site) as of yesterday (19.11.07, notice track 4...neato.), and includes 11h30 (brilliant tune!!!!), the Data 11h30 remix, 14h54, and 19h11.
