On aime bien Clara Moto chez GTC. Découverte par Agoria au festival de Montreux en 2006, elle n’en finit pas depuis de séduire nos oreilles avec sa house music sensuelle, intime et décomplexée.
Alors que sort ces jours-ci “Polyamour”, son premier album sur InFiné, j’ai demandé à la belle de nous dresser une petite liste de quelques uns des morceaux qui l’avaient influencé.

TALKING HEADS Psycho Killer
(Sire Records Company – 1977)
My all time favorite band: Talking Heads with one of my favorite tracks: psycho killer. I saw David Byrne recently live in concert and this was the best concert I have ever been. Also, Stop making sense is a killer album!

ROXY MUSIC In Every Dream Home a Heartache
(Island Records – 1973)
Amazing track that blew my mind, years ago.
I had the whole album “For Your Pleasure”, but I was just listening to this track again and again. I just rediscovered it after a friend posted the lyrics on Skype.
It’s a masterpiece-incredible lyric. I made a secret remix of this track, for some live shows maybe. ;)

MILES DAVIS All Blues
(Columbia – 1959)
As my parents are Jazz lovers and musicians by themselves, I was always listening to a lot of jazz –Kind of blue was accompanying my childhood. Miles Davis, John Coltrane on sax, Bill Evans on piano, fantastic.

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST Jazz (We’ve Got)
(Jive – 1991)
I was a huge hip-hop as a teen. I loved nearly everything: Pharcyde, De la Soul, Busta Rhymes, Wu tang.Snoop etc. I still have huge collection of old hip-hop tapes somewhere. Actually as a teenager I always wanted to become a hip-hop Dj, but I never made it to save enough money to buy turntables until I was 21.

DAVID BOWIE Life On Mars
(RCA Victor – 1971)
With 10 I fell a bit in love with David Bowie after watching “The Labyrinth” (haha). Thus I stole some albums from him from my mom, and was listening to them Non-Stop.

DEPECHE MODE Enjoy The Silence
(Mute – 1989)
Words are very unnecessary.

FALCO Ganz Wien
(GiG Records – 1981)
Falco, most successful pop star from Austria –he was actually the first and only person that got a number one hit in US with a German language song. He was a really great musician, and his songs are just fantastic.
In “Ganz Wien” he reflects on drug consumption in 80s Vienna –the song has been firstly banned from radio airplay.

KRUDER & DORFMEISTER Trans Fatty Acid
(Studio !K7 – 1998)
When you are from Austria you cannot get around Kruder & Dorfmeister. Their tracks have been played everywhere: in every bar, in every boutique, in every supermarket.
After a break of more than 12 years, I can listen to it again: their tracks are still great.

SUPER-COLLIDER It Won’t Be Long
(Loaded Records – 1999)
In 2002 I have been to the first Super Collider show in Graz, which as one of the most incredible live sets, I have ever seen. For me they were the best electronic project ever!

THE AZTEC MYSTIC Knights Of The Jaguar
(Underground Resistance – 1999)
I was listening to this track on my first techno party; I went and could not get the catchy melody out of my head. After finding out what track it was, I got into touch with all that UR stuff.

THE BEATLES Happiness Is A Warm Gun
(Apple Records – 1968)
I know, I was supposed to name only 10 tracks, but I cannot leave out The Beatles. Big big fan- ever since, my parents had all their records.

Le roxy music est absolument fantastique.
Il y a juste un petit problème avec le Falco, il est inécoutable.
Can u fix it?
