Weekend Weapons…Chris Carrier

Weekend Weapons…Chris Carrier

With over a dozen years churning out sweet house music from the Parisian underground, DJ and producer Chris Carrier [a] could well break through this year thanks to his brand new album ‘Gosse De Paris’ on Robsoul Recordings.

The stunning house LP features 16 cuts produced exclusively by Carrier, and is full of rolling house beats, deep soulful grooves, gorgeous instrumentals, and funky disco-flavoured numbers. Think 20:20 Vision, with a dash of Kenny Dixon Jr. and Derrick Carter thrown into the milky pile.

The album comes on the back of what has been an onslaught of Chris Carrier killer releases recently on ThirtyOneTwenty, Off, and Jef K’s label Silver Network, the latter of which is about to drop one of the year’s biggest club hits, The Gathering ‘In My System, a monumental deep house cut from Chris Carrier, Jef K, and Chez Damier.

‘In My System’ is one of the most hyped tracks in clubland currently, and is likely to push the trio deeper into the consciousness of clubland then they’ve ever been before. Look out.

With Carrier’s album quickly being named as one of the year’s best out-and-out house albums, we caught up with the Frenchman to find out what other dancefloor cuts he has lurking in his record box.

Andrés ‘II’ [Mahogani Music]


This is the latest album on Mahogani Music and Kenny Dixon Jr co-produced this with Andres. It’s full of funkiness, disco, and hip hop influences, and is a great album.

Rhythm Is Rhythm ‘Icon’ [Transmat]

Derrick May [a] showed us the way of the Detroit sound with this classic track, and it stinks of the era of rave.

Ricardo Villalobos ‘Fizheuer Zieheuer’ [Playhouse]

This track represents for me the imprint of Latino majestic electronic vibes. Olé!

DA Rebels ‘House Nation Under A Groove’ [Clubhouse Records]

This is truly the sound of Chicago for me - inimitable!

Gangstaar ‘Daily Operation’

Big respect to Guru. He pushed quality hip hop with DJ Premier during the glory period of jazz instrumentals and influenced it in a cool way.
