Review After 3 smashing EPs on Boysnoize Records, remixes for Chromeo, The Faint and The Teenagers and live gigs with Soulwax, Trevor Jackson, A-Trak, Ivan Smagghe and the Ed Banger Crew, Shadow Dancer finally present their long awaited debut album. “Golden Traxe” is a culmination of the UK duo´s electronica, cut-up techno, acid house and space disco sounds. Already loved and greatly supported by a range of classy producers such as erol Alkan, Mr. Oizo, Modeselektor and Soulwax, this album takes the UK duo to the next level. Shadow Dancer began in the summer of 2006 almost by accident. Brothers Paul and Alan Farrier had been writing music since childhood drawn by their love of artists such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Human League and Pet Shop Boys to follow synthesizers rather than guitars. Although the pop and video game music of the ’80s was their initial inspiration, it was the sounds coming out of Detroit (Underground Resistance, Axis, Planet E), Chicago (Trax, Relief) and the European techno scene (Warp, Ideal, Tresor, Basic Channel, R&S, Harthouse) that started an obsession with electronic dance music. And, having previously created tracks using tape overdubs and a limited sampler, they started to build up a small studio of second-hand synths. Originally from Liverpool, the brothers were pulled towards Manchester in the ’90s by it’s musical legacy where they still live and produce. Since their live debut as Shadow Dancer supporting Soulwax Nite Versions Tour, The Whip in Manchester on New Year’s Eve 2006, the brothers have played (both live and DJ sets) alongside Boys Noize, Trevor Jackson, A-Trak, Radioclit, Ivan Smagghe, D.I.M., Sinden, Surkin, Para One, Housemeister, Crookers, The Glimmers, Teenage Bad Girl, Filthy Dukes, Riton, Mixhell and many others.

You can now hear the latest monster from Boys Noize Records, Shadow Dancer's "Soap". Its only a low quality 96k rip...but still sounds fucking awesome! Its taken from their album, which will be released later this year (Nov 17th?). Shadow Dancer - Soap (Preview)
What’s your background and how did you end up launching your own label? After playing drums for 4 years I started deejaying when I was about 14 years old, and 2 years later I started to produce. I released my first 12″ in 2003 on DJ Hell’s Gigolo Records followed by my EP on Datapunk. Having my own label was always a little dream and in 2004 I had so much output that I couldnt release all tracks on different labels, plus releasing music on other labels can take a long time till you see the finished product. So it made sense to set up my own imprint.
What’s goin’ on in Boys Noize’s world right now? Producing, touring, label work.
What are your forthcoming artists and label releases? Next to watch out is Shadow Dancer. He is super dope and gets much love from producers I love. He just finished his first album which we will release in January 09.
How would you describe the Boys Noize sound? Party Techno
How did you got into music? I have a brother that’s 10 years older than me, so when I was a little kid back in the middle of the 80’s, I was listening to the records my brother bought and he was into the early house releases as well as disco & rap.I was actually into electronic music without knowing it.
What are you currently listening to besides electronic music? Anything without beats and of course I try to be as up to date as possible with current pop-rock-hiphop etc.
How is the scene in Berlin at the moment, as far as your sound go? It’s getting bigger and bigger. We just had a Boys Noize records night and 1700 peole came. That was a new record. It took a long time though…still berlin is dominated by minimal and now deep house
If you have to recommend just one club and an artist in Berlin? Club: Scala or the illegal Boys Noize Records parties Act: Errorsmith and Soundhack
How important is the internet for you and where do you see it going? Well, obviously the net helped A LOT of us musicians. Before myspace & blogs only DJs knew my records because I released vinyl 12″s only, and today everybody can get access to any music so easy. We have the worst selling situation but the shows are packed. To me that is more important.
What was you best night out and what would be your dream team line up for a party? After 10 years of djing I had many fabulous nights. A dream line up could be a Boys Noize Records night with all the Boys Noize Records artists.

Ok, French was never my strong point...but Les Petots Pilous (Small Cotton flannels...wtf....courtesy of babelfish)...may mean The Small Pills? Who cares...the guys rock. Seriously effin rock. Two cousins Pacey and Jean-Pat, both from Paris who got into producing music after catching Para One which kicked started their music career. Fast forward to present day...signed up to Boys Noize Records, released their first EP “Hello, We Are” in February this year and having played alongside Erol Alkan, 2ManyDjs, Justice, Tiga, Boys Noize etc...the two guys are doing doing what most could only dream about. Did i mention they are only 20 (Jean Pat) & 23 (Pacey)!
Their music is pure filth which turns folk mental on dancefloors across the globe! Buy their music now!
