In just a couple of months, thanks to explosive live shows, radical remixes for Daft Punk, Trabant, Teki Latex and most recently Bloc Party, Para One turned from pioneer of the so-called New French Sound to rising dance star. His debut album, "Epiphanie", is in many 'Best of 2006' lists. "Midnight Swim" is a hymn to some strange, elegiac version of Ibiza, shuffling in silicon sand. Riton's latest re-rub is pure angular, jumpy electro with the best synths you'll hear for a long time. A propulsive bassline, acid accents and intense mini-build-ups. It's like Errorsmith and Switch meeting in Erol Alkan's record box (Erol actually happens to play the track, by the way).
