Michael Jackson / 1958 – 2009

Yo habibtis. I came back from Gatwick/Crawley this morning and was shocked to overhear a phone conversation in the crew bus. MJ had died yesterday ! Cardiac arrest some say. Who on this planet hasn’t once boogied to one of his killer tunes ? Difficult to say. He will remain one of the biggest pop [...]

Private gig with THE DEAD WEATHER…

Hello y’all. It’s been pretty hectic these past few days… I was attempting to organize some private concert with no other than THE DEAD WEATHER, Jack White’s new newest band and I have finally made it ! The band will play a sold out show at la Cigale in Paris on the 29th of June. [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #80. Chromeo / Fancy Footwork. Update on my move…

Ever since Oz bluetoothed this track to me yesterday, I haven’t stopped playing it. It’s desperately catchy, insanely groovy and the 80’s synth-electro-rock-pop sound of the whole deal makes me wanna… boogie.
Chromeo is a Montreal based electrofunk duo whose music is described as “a shameless return to the glistening, sex-saturated synth-pop which ruled the eighties.”
The [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #79 : Daft Punk… Who else ?

Hey guys, I’m about to leave for the airport and was kinda eager to share this epic encore Daft Punk delivered at the Bercy Venue in Paris for their last tour date. Daft Punk at it’s best here with a brilliant mix in front of a masssiiiiiiiive crowd. The track has been around quite a [...]

Well Done. Update of the last 72 hours

You probably remember one of my highly entertaining Mauritius trips back last month. We had to deal with something unusual on-board while cruising over the Indian Ocean (ETOPS, meaning far away from any suitable airport to divert to). I cannot give you any details as briefed but upon checking my snail-mail inbox this morning (I [...]

Airboy does Mauritius. Final act. [UPDATED] + video…

Feels like a while since I blogged my last entry. Five days in fact. Long time for me because so much as been going on in the last few days. A close friend left the desert for the greener fields of France, landing a job as Cabin Crew with a branch of Air France’s mammoth [...]

Airboy does Mauritius in 2009 / Atlantis Resort in Dubai

Before I go on and rant about this dreamy place I just went to. I’ll bore you for a few minutes more and let you all know that I finally paid a visit to the Palm Jumeirah and its now famous Atlantis resort. Earlier on last year (November 4th I think) they opened the place [...]

The White Stripes – my favourite band – are making a comeback !

I’m one of the biggest fan of the delightful duo from Detroit, Michigan. I discovered them a hell a long time ago and been hooked since. I’ve been a complete groupie and an avid follower of the band. Been to numerous gigs of theirs, including being invited by the band to one of their private [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #71 / Djama by Amadou & Mariam

Kicking off the new year with some kick ass tracks all the way from Mali. It comes as no surprise that this duo of blind individuals is part of my favourite artists.
