From an earlier digital hip hop/reggae era stem some vinyl, cassettes and cd releases on smaller labels such as Co2 Activity, Quality Streetz and N Records.
Moving on to colder and more electronic pastures, while seeking to infuse his music with more emotion, he started working with Paris's crunkest rap crew : TTC, joining them on their 2 lp's "Ceci n'est pas un disque" and the hit "Batards Sensibles" (Big Dada). the "Beat Down" EP met great enthusiasm both in France and abroad, was playlisted by such luminaries as Laurent Garnier, Michael Mayer, DJ Rupture, Feadz and Diplo. "Dans le club" (the 1st single off TTC's second LP) was even bigger, single-handedly launching a new sub-genre, fusing dirty south immediacy with something robots would fuck to.
Clubhoppn (2004), his second solo release was also played everywhere, by everybody, including Justice, Modeselektor and Erol Alkan.
Para One is also one half of FuckALoop, Institubes' ceo Tacteel being the other half. The emphasis here is on live techno experimentation, with Drexciya looming large in the background. Most recently they remixed Ellen Allien's last single "Down".
As a solo remixer para himself remixed artists such as Agoria, Animal Machine, Krazy Baldhead, Daft Punk, and浜崎あゆみ. His remix of The Prime Time Of Your Life was even used in Daft Punk's Alive 2007 Encore.

+Peter Griffin The movies plot is pretty simple. Over a few 'days' of the Summer break, Marie finds, what we presume to be her sexuality (it could just be a phase) and falls for Floriane. However, after rejecting her friends in pursuit of Floriane, Marie misses the opportunity to guide her best friend and she is blinded by passion. In the end, after she realises Floriane is just what others had been telling her all along, she goes to the pool, where she is joined by her best friend who never gave up on her in the first place.
Sounds simple, but when you tear apart the film, you find a lot of sinister and strange meanings throughout the film.
The film really just explores in a sense, sexual behaviour. I think one of the darkest scenes and more harrowing feels of the film is when Floriane tells Marie that she is "lucky". And we see this right at the end when Marie jumps into the pool fully clothed with no worries about anything other than her now detached friendship. However, Floriane at the end is seen provocatively dancing in an attempt to get what she's been trying to get throughout the film, attention and for the reasons I've just written about in a reply to Cleo Patria; but nobody seems interested. After a lot of thinking, I think that that one line from the very basic and short dialog throughout the film pretty much sums up the film.
Whether you like the movie or not, if you can try and get some sort of movement from the film, you begin to pick up on the little things in it. Which I think is one of the reasons such a basic film won strong awards
Either way, it does have one of my favourite soundtracks, because even that is powerful :)

The sounds I’m this film were absolutely phenomenal. It was what I call, “a quiet movie”. It was lots of scenery, little dialogue, but when it was it was very important. And when the soundtrack did come one, it was so unique and set the scene beautifully. It showed the emotions of Marie and how she felt as it pertained to the scene. I don’t know why I love this movie so much, whether it’s Adolescent Love, exploring sexuality, or all of the above, I truly loved it, it was so powerful to me.
I hope you all can enjoy it just as much. Love this sound track.

I don't understand why this film was so, and is still so powerful to me. The first time I watched it on a summers morning as the sun came up, it kept me awake for hours after I'd seen it. Then its story haunted me for the next few days before I paid £25 to have it shipped in english.

Hmm I didn't understand the movie I did like this song tho.

What do you think about Florine's feeling? Does she love Marie too? Why's Florine smiling when she was dancing at the end of the movie. I didn't get it. I just watched this movie last night and It kept me awake for hours after I'd seen it too. And I'm still confused about this movie, it makes me still thinking of this movie.
Cleo
Thanks for the essay.. :)
" Floraine also goes to houses to sleep with men (although she tells Marie she has not slept with anyone, she is lying to manipulate Marie."
But, why that man told marie's bestfriend that he didn't do with that girl (Florine) because she didn't want to ?

Actual my favorite ending for any film; and a close second is Lila Dit Ca; both French films. The way they make me feel. Here: the acceptance and implied dread at the end; Floriane dancing freely, but she isn't free, she's trapped in a sense; the cluttered frame with all the boys; tonally dark, etc. Feels like she's in a den of wolves; and then there's Marie floating in the middle of a pool apparently free as well but the shot conjures up imagery of being stranded in the ocean. They both acknowledge the camera at the end; they both make their peace and keep their secrets in those final frames; they're both saved and damned by their truth, which they seem both "willingly" but unwillingly accept. (my interpretation)
