This episode’s highlighted track:
Corine - Pluie fine (Polo & Pan Remix)
With her Bonnie Tyler-style blonde mane and catchy, nostalgic dance tracks, Corine was at the forefront of the French new disco trend of the late 2010s. With a generous dose of kitsch, “Pluie fine” is a tongue-in-cheek ode to a sexy stranger who undresses her with their eyes while dancing in the “fine rain.” Originally from her 2016 EP, Fille de ta Région (Girl from your region) on Kwaidon Records, “Pluie fine” received a contemporary facelift by the French House duo Polo & Pan in 2017. The result is an incredible remix that deftly blends retro and contemporary: for example, no disco track would be complete without a little bit of cowbell, but Polo & Pan up the ante fifteen seconds after the two minute mark with an aggressively panned and flanged cowbell that arpeggiates across the remainder of the track in such an infectiously funky way, its hard not to want to shake what your mama gave ya. The track nods to old artists like Sylvester, Dee-Lite, and Calvin Harris with a retro blend that’s a perfect compliment to the sultry vocals of Corine. Watch the tongue-in-cheek video here.
