Jaques Lu Cont/Stuart Price is a remixing machine. I absolutely love the sound he's been putting out :D Comments?

What have the big tunes of Ibiza been so far, and where are they being canned?
 
Juliet - Avalon (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) is obviously his biggest tune this summer everywhere, not just in Ibiza.

This may very well be this summer's Lola's Theme !

Is that still being played? I have to say I am bored of it, but it was fantastic, and I am a big fan of Mr Price

I've never heard him spin :(
At Pacha...wish I could go...let us know how he is ;)

Don't worry...I will! I love to review nights out. :D My wife and I usually take some kind of journal to jot down stuff while on our trip...it helps us remember later...it's also fun to go back and read what you wrote months/years later. Quite amusing... :lol:
 
LuCont is also currently finishing Madonna's new album "Confesions On A Dancefloor"

Madonna announces new single details
Madonna has announced details of the first single to be taken from her new studio album.
"Hung Up" will be the first track to be lifted from the forthcoming LP "Confessions On A Dancefloor",which is expected this autumn.

According to madonna.com, the song was produced by Stuart Price aka Jacques Lu Cont, who is currently in Los Angeles mixing the album with the singer.
Price was Madonna's musical director for her 2004 Re-Invention Tour
 
JLC says in rolling Stone he's been testing new tunes at dj gigs across Europe this summer:

Madonna Hits the Clubs
"Confessions" already lighting up European dancefloors

Madonna is returning to her roots with the club-friendly Confessions on a Dancefloor, due November 15th. For her tenth studio album, the follow-up to 2003's American Life, the pop legend worked closely with British producer Stuart Price (a.k.a. DJ Jacques Lu Cont) at his London apartment.
Price met Madonna later in her career, playing keyboards on her last two tours -- "I was a bit too young to be a fan in the Eighties," he says, laughing. She approached him after last year's Re-Invention Tour, when she began work on a music-driven screenplay, bringing him onboard to create a sound she called "future disco." The idea for Confessions came from those sessions.

"We live real near each other in London, and we could just send ideas back and forth and get together and work on stuff," Price says. "The creative process was very short. There were a couple of weeks in London at my studio where we were doing a song every day."

At night, the producer would test out the tracks during his club gigs. "Whenever I was DJ'ing, I'd take dub or instrumental versions out with me," Price says. "I had my camera with me, and the next day I'd tell Madonna, 'This is what a thousand people in Liverpool looked like last night dancing to our song.' You can work on a song for twelve hours, but I guarantee you'll know within the first ten seconds of putting it on at a club whether it works or not. So these songs were tested on unwitting subjects throughout Europe."

But Price insists that he and Madonna did not blindly trust the club scene, wanting to create something more lasting. "There's a bit of a danger with dance music that you can create something that's cool but doesn't have much substance to it," he admits. "Every few months, a club record comes along that hits a nerve with people, and they connect to it. They don't know why, but there is something magical in it. That's what we were trying to make."

The first single is the uptempo synth-disco jam "Hung Up," which Price calls "a big feel-good song. You put it on and you want to get in your car, turn it up and drive around smiling."

Thanks for the info PartyBoy. (Sorry for the delay, been away for a while ;) )
 
stuart price aka jacques lu cont aka les rhythmes digitales aka paper faces aka thin white duke aka one part of zoot woman is the men of the hour, don't know when he sleeps ;). nearby he produced the current album of new order including the awesome remix of jetstream and I am really curious about madonna's forthcoming album

check out his remixes of scissor sisters - confortably numb, felix the housecat - ready to wear and starsailor - four to the floor, zoot woman - taken it all; all hits like avalon and jacques your body...

I can't imagine that he's a real dj talent too, he says he don't really likes the life of a deejay, but who cares, he is god!
