Remixes by L'Étranger
UK-based French-House outsider L'Étranger presents Remixes — a career spanning compilation album of Indie Dance dubs and Bloghouse bangers
L’Étranger is a pseudonym for UK based producer and songwriter Ben Thomas, who presents a selection of his favourite remixes which caught the attention of the blogosphere throughout the 2010s.
“Looking back to 2011 I relished creating remixes; chopping up the originals, flipping them on their head, reinterpreting them for the club. Bloghouse seems to be having a bit of a moment right now and to me these tracks still sound as punchy today, each with their own sort of quirky charm.”
Through collaborations with the likes of Sedric Perry, Dreamtrak and Les Loups as well as official remixes for acts such as Polydor’s Guillemots, Mercury Prize nominee Sam Lee, and 4AD’s Stornoway, L’Etranger has garnered acclaim and recognition on music blogs and in magazines, solidifying his presence as a leading force in the nu-disco scene.
In 2012 L’Étranger’s breakthrough single Falling For You saw BBC Radio 1 airplay, and last year his single Let Go amassed 440k Spotify streams with follow-up For The Floor EP receiving support from Todd Edwards, Anna Lunoe, Joris Voorn, Marco Carola and Steve Lawler.
Ben is also known for his other projects Stink Floyd which saw him collaborate with Jersey Club icon DJ Jayhood. His chill moniker Memory Phoam has amassed 20 million streams across platforms, his monthly Isle of Lofi DJ mixes for Apple Music as Thomorrow, and UKG alias Tom Fool saw support from Jamz Supernova on BBC Radio 6 Music.
