Oooooooh Baby


Whether or not you know who Alan Braxe is by name, you've most likely heard at least one song that he has had some part in creating. Beginning in the 90's with his release of 'Vertigo', Braxe has been crafting soulful club ballads with an emphasis on the filter house sound. Braxe is the instrumental genius behind tracks like Stardust's 1998 smash hit "Music Sounds Better With You", (reaching #1 on US dance charts), "Intro", and "Rubicon" (featured on Erlend Oye - DJ Kicks). Even today with French electro far removed from it's roots, Braxe continues to make second millenium friendly French house.

Here are a couple of must-have Alan Braxe tracks. Some of them were produced with the help of his longtime friend Fred Falke, Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter, and French vocalist Benjamin Diamond.


The Paradise - In Love With You

Alan Braxe and Fred Falke - Intro (the Running)

Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You


Note: 'Intro' is not actually an intro track. No idea why it's named that way.
