Spitzer is the dynamic brotherly duo of Damien and Matthieu Spitzer out of Lyon, France. As self proclaimed producers {not DJs} they make a minimalist style of techno that feels a lot like familiar electronic dance hall music with a dash of the early innovations of Moby or present day Daft Punk {although again, they’re not DJs, they’re producers}. One thing that I can see seperates them from a lot of their present day counterparts is the curious lack of vocals on many, if not all, of their tracks. Even with the absence of the human voice each track seems to tell a story that is interesting from “once upon a time” to “happily ever after.” Their debut EP, Roller Coaster, will be released soon and if their myspace page and the songs they’ve allowed me to sample are any indication these brothers are going to be big names in the dance/techno/remix arena in this new year.

I would have loved to unload a few more tracks on you all, as they’re all some of the most easily danceable original music I’ve heard in ages, but I was asked to limit my selection to only one song. Spitzer really is brilliant though, watch out for these guys in the near future. Rumour has it they were also asked to undertake the making of a super awesome {possibly secret} remix for Kylie Minogue.
