You've played the CD, now meet the artists - 20 French stars on the cusp of great things
BIRDY NAM NAM: Transboulogne Express (Sony)
Birdy Nam Nam are no strangers to Music Week - we featured the award- winning DJ crew back in 2007 - but Transboulogne Express represents a real step forward for the band, setting aside their traditional hip-hop sounds in favour of thumping digital beats and scrambled electronic vocals. This track, packed with pop potential, has already appeared in the film Transporter 3.

QUIXOTE FEAT. LISA LI LUND: Before I Started To Dance (Prins Thomas remix) (Versatile)
Versatile are undoubtedly one of the top French dance labels, with a long and distinguished history of uncovering new talent, from Zombie Zombie to Joakim. Quixote is the new project from label mainstays Gilb'r and Nicolas Chaix (aka I:Cube) and takes its inspiration from krautrock. This remix already has the blogs in uproar, grafting a disco sheen to the original's pop stylings.
