Popularized by the British media, the phrase French Touch originally refers to a new generation of French producers who burst on the scene in the mid-nineties. By then, you had to go back to the disco years to remember a time when France produced hits that had people dance all over the world. So it's no surprise that newly-emerging scene should have claimed the disco legacy, mixing it with more recent influences such as techno-music and trip-hop. Early on, differences could be spotted between the club-oriented productions by Daft Punk, Bob Sinclair and Stardust and those by DJ Cam, Dimitri from Paris and Kid Loco who laid the foundations of lounge music. 4 CD set including the "cream" of French electronic music.

A Great Collection of the Best in French Touch
French Touch is a lot more than just Daft Punk and Bob Sinclar and this anthology proves it. With tracks from the likes of Cheek, Superman Lovers, Dimitri from Paris and Wax Tailor. And not a David Guetta in sight. Fantastique!
