CLUB CHEVAL @ THE NEST

Signed to Brodinski’s fledgling Bromance label, Lille-based Club Cheval are perhaps the best embodiment of the French label’s emphasis on fun-filled collaboration. A who’s who fraternity of the French electro-house scene (with Jacques Lu Cont and Gesaffelstein also calling it home), Bromance was responsible for last year’s Club Cheval Mixtape, Decisions EP and Club Cheval & Brodinski collaboration.
The Club Cheval collective is made up of Canblaster, Myd, Sam Tiba and Panteros666, with the latter having just released Hyper Reality, with a suitably deranged video to accompany its titular lead single. What with their French background, comparisons with dance-punk pioneers Daft Punk are inescapable, but Club Cheval’s authentic take on the modern French groove is by turns care free and colourful.
