The pair formerly known as Fuckaloop is back in the lab. 
After a first sample of their new output in the form of their Bot’Ox remix, here’s a new glimpse at the still-to-be rechristened Para One + Tacteel combo having a casual-yet-productive afternoon at the studio.

Did you know that, about four years ago, we released a NINE HOUR ALBUM by Fuckaloop called The Early Aughties, which gathers every live performance and studio track made by them during the aformentioned first half of the decade?
Seriously, we did that.

 

Two years before the rise of Sound Pellegrino, it was our first digital-only (for obvious reasons) release. Fond memories of burning a set of 12 CDs to deliver the audio master to our digital distro Idol suddenly come back to mind… the immature — and exhilarating in its own legitimate way — pride of topping these records with a total of 23 uncensored F-words on the release’s page on iTunes US aswell.

Here’s what we had to say back then:

FuckALoop is Para One and Tacteel, heavy electro/rap hitters signed to French clubbing activists Institubes, in full live mode. From 2003 to 2005, the duo played about fifteen shows, channeling their inner Drexciya in Paris, Kobe, Nagoya or Shanghai. 

As they improvised from whatever soundbank or machine or crowd noise or rough sketches of solo tracks they happened to have or get, every show is unique. Lucky for us, then, that most of them were recorded, by fans, by the guys, sometimes in conditions less than ideal. 
So, behold, rising from the ashes of this most radical group: twelve shows, four studio tracks, all previously unreleased.

FuckALoop (2002 - 2005): RIP.

The Early Aughties is an album but not a record. 
It is a nine-hour long album. 

They never slept, why should you?

Well it’s still available on iTunes here:

Quite fairly priced for 9 hours of music and quite worth your while as it’s a very interesting document about this period, which was also the junior high era of Institubes and even more importantly a fascinating time for our artists and us, exploring electronica for their own reasons and still dabbling in techno, since, as you’re well-aware of: if you cut us, we bleed Rap.
