Kid Loco - The Remix Album (2009)

2009 release from the French Trip Hop artist, a collection of the Kid's tracks remixed by some of Electronica's finest artists including Saint Etienne, Howie B and Dimitri From Paris. For over a decade, Kid Loco has taken Trip Hop to new levels of sound and style. This compilation pushes the Kid's sound into new and exciting places. 14 tracks.

An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and intent to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris, Kid Loco has an even stronger kinship with the long tradition of French pop characterized by Serge Gainsbourg. Otherwise known as Jean-Yves Prieur, he began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in several French punk groups during the early ’80s. He moved on to production as well by the end of the decade, and moved on to reggae and hip-hop with a band named Mega Reefer Scratch. By 1996, Prieur had built his own studio, christened himself Kid Loco and released the Blues Project EP for Yellow Productions. The full-length A Grand Love Story appeared one year later, earning praise from many in the indie-rock.
