Late performers such as DJ Mehdi and Princess Superstar should reveal themselves as interesting people to see as well. The former is from the popular label Ed Bangers that brought us Justice last year. His last album ‘lucky boy’ is real dope and the guy keep pushing excellent mixes in various hipsters electro blogs. The second one is a well known party thrower from New-York , having rocking the floor by the side of Scissor Sisters, Fischerspooner and Peaches. If you where present at the Sisters gig’s last year, you know that those people party seriously. Also, in the last few months, the Princess as produced some of the finest remixes that have been listening to. Alala from CSS come to my mind... The party will be up-there guaranty. I you are not yet convinced, try this mix.

But above all the band listed on the Red Marquee’s schedule, the one that I’m the most curious to see is the French electro band datA. They are still quite obscure to most of people I’ve been talking to, but make sure to see them if you are planning to join us in the mountains of Naeba. So far they only released two EP albums on Ekler’o’shock/Naive labels, Aerius Light and Trop Laser. However those tracks are simply amazing, the kind of effective French house that perhaps only Daft Punk had delivered so far. Also if we are lucky, we will be able to ear some tracks from their upcoming album ‘Rapture’ due in November 2008. Few days ago, the blog Kidz by Colette released a sample (leak?) from the awaited album with lyrics from Sebastien Grainger formerly from cult group Death From Above 1979. In no time every body left comments that it’s going to be one of the hit of this summer. However, the mysterious track was quickly pulled-off without explanation. Now the datA official myspace is swarm by the fans requesting to listen Rapture. If you want to listen this one, Google is your friend.
