Facteur – Bites The Dust (Queen) Remix
Facteur is a musician out of Marseille, France with the likes of notable musicians Daft Punk and Justice… Facteur is an electronic/club artist making some pretty sick tunes worth a mention and while I wasn’t a big fan of his remix of Queen’s Bites The Dust but all of his tracks and various remixes were excellent.
Fateur‘s music is more on the electro side like Simian Mobile Disco rather then the likes of Daft Punk and Justice. I definitely enjoy electro a lot, it feels more dance-able and something I’d enjoy listening to in all kinds of situations.
There seems to be a little bit of info on Facteur and most of it seems to be in French so I tried looking for some some posts and found an interview post at Boule A Facettes. It’s in French so I’ll summarize (with the use of a translator). Facteur is Simon Henner who’s 28 and been living in Marseille, France for 8 years. Some musical influences include Stevie Wonder, The Hives, Snoop Dog and of course Daft Punk. He has a wide variety of sources and I think if you give him a try you’ll agree.
Anyway Facteur’s demo includes 8 tracks with 5 original tracks and 3 remixed including the aforementioned Queen remix. I have to say these are awesome tracks you can download them here. There is really no way I can find to support him so if you like his stuff, spread the word!
Here are the stand out tracks for me:
