20jazzfunkgreats on Lost In The City / Resist :
Plastique de Reve has been going on for a while, you can imagine him lounging in a sofa of the gigolo manor, picking bits of meat from between his teeth with a switchblade while the asymmetric crowd got down under a rococo chandelier, yeah, whenever Plastique de Reve appears in our radar we know it is time for dancefloor carnage. We have fond memories of sweaty headbanging to the classic hip hop acid styles of ‘Do it’ as played by Optimo in Primavera 05, and we have been known to wiggle wobbly to their jacking remix of Future Forward’s ‘Welcome 2 Chicago’, just to mention a couple. No overcompressed bullshit or concessions to the beat de jour, no respect for genres, just pure unadulterated sweaty energy flash and speaking in the furious tongues of tribal dance mania. Plastique de Reve doesn’t do disco, he does the disco in, vicious. But don’t take my word for it, juts listen to the stonking Lost in the City/Resist, out in DFA’s import imprint Death from Abroad. Resist isn’t classy. Resist cracks the floor mercilessly with a beastly rhythm exterminator somewhere in between Giorgio Moroder and Nitzer Ebb, while Radical Cheerleaders shoot their fists in the air in true old skool Baltimore style, abnormal arpeggiated bleeps tumble upon us like random mutterings from a deranged god of technological thunder, all coming together layer after layer of sublime mind-numbing simplicity so that all those kids in the dancefloor who walk the walk can lose their shit, and crack their knees, in true no-style style.

Rolling Stone magazine on Lost In The City :
On Plastique De Reve's "Lost in the City," Ghostape sounds like Rickie Lee Jones stuck in a microwave — it's pretty cool, actually.

Totallyradio.com on Resist :
The best B-side of the year has arrived in Future Rock & Roll kingdom thanks to DFA - Plastique De Reve’s thumping electro indie stomper Resist.

Turntablelab.com :
Lost In The City : "a deep burner for sure"
Resist : "serious peaktime craziness"

Thephoenix.com on Lost In The City :
A gorgeous, pulsing chunk of neo-acid, with lilting vocals from young phenom Ghostape.

Urb.com on Lost In The City :
An acid house banger that shatters the overused, often recycled wheel plaguing said genre and then effortlessly reinvents it with pulsating dance-sparking rhythms.

Culturedeluxe.com on Resist :
The meeting of post-electroclash heroes Plastique De Reve with the Radical Cheerleaders on ..Resist.. combines nagging percussion and bass-chug with cheerleader shouts and the sound of huge insects attacking.

www.BBC.co.uk/music :
"...the inter-dimensional acid of Plastique De Rêve allows you to get your ass down and realise the night of your life..." !!!

Live @ Optimo, Glasgow

"So Many Things" : probably one of the best Acid House track i have heard for a long time. This groovy tb 303 bassline meets a mental electro beat.the result : essential acid house for those who know.

Plastique De R..ve "Don't Be Afraid" .. moebius rex on livejournal.com
It's a pretty basic sort of acid house track I suppose, but what drives this slinky little vehicle of course is that hypnotic female voice that chants don't be / afraid / to come / and drink my love before launching into a sexyexplicit rap of sorts that rapidly covers a wide range of naughty images, actions, and especially positions, getting raunchier and raunchier with every line. I can imagine this song might clear the dancefloor somewhat--not because it's bad, but because it's inspired a few folks to find a quiet place to engage in a lusty session of the ol' horizontal mambo instead. Of course as you might expect, this release comes from Plastique De R..ve, a Swiss artist currently signed to the International Deejay Gigolo label*, which seems to have a determined focus on the sort of club music that always shows up on adult-oriented HBO documentaries like "Porn 101" and "Real Sex," if not actual porn films. But hey, I'm not complaining. Anything that gets the juices flowing is a winner in my book.

Plastique De Reve ..Voodoo Kit..
A blistering 12" release on the growing 7B label. An un-corny (thank god) sexy & distorted female vocal runs over an acidic monster full of all the essential moans and groans on the A, and the flip provides us with another relentless number.

Letnomanjack on blogspot.com
My favorite single of the year n.9 : Plastique de R..ve, Voodoo Kit EP, 7B Records. Christophe Dasen, aka Switzerland's own Plastique de R..ve, is responsable for two of hip house best tracks ever : "Rod..o M..canique" and "Do It!", the greatest things Salt N Peppa never recorded. This year, he was behind the most fucked-up acid house you'll ever, ever hear on the Voodoo Kit EP. "Don't Be Afraid" has a woman panting and moaning about getting her pussy eaten out over what I can only call contemporary acid house (nothing retro about it) - and it last for almost ten minutes, just like any good cunnilinctus should last. On the flip, "Go Jack Me Auto" is probably about jerking off (all the best songs are : The Divinyls anyone ?!), but the vocals are so fucking weird it is impossible to say exactly. But who cares, because with a beat like that, anyone will know how to get their groove on. Do it !

The Swiss Chalet is Burning Down
The Swiss delegation was in town to tear down some major dancefloor bizness yesterday. Plastique de R..ve was an acid lover's dream, with an amazing set of "just hard enough" electro that kept the crowd asking for more. - blogspot.com

Lupe.web-log.nl - web-log.nl
one of Europe's best produced funkier acidelectro acts.

Covert.uk.com
1000 Amazon Fighters deliver the remix here, of Plastique De R..ve aka Christophe 'Daze' Dasen's track 'Don't Be Afraid'. Plenty of acid and an interesting arrangement, plus some sultry (ahem) norty spoken bits. 'Go Jack Me Auto' on the flip keeps some acid but goes for some rave-style shouts and touches plus kooky synths over a solid whumping electro-house rhythm section. Pumping.

DANY RODRIGUEZ & PLASTIQUE DE REVE - 'CAROCHA' (DESTINATION)
Deep yet rhythmic the electro-prog Plastique De R..ve mix is like a post Jean-Michel Jarre drugged-out trip, complete with 303 licks, trancey synths, out-of-control bleeps, ambient fx and ethereal vocal.

Plastique de reve kick it off with "do it! "
Electro mayhem is here and PDR is packing it into this track by the bucketload. Really hard to describe this one, the vocals sound like a 80s hip hop track, but I cannot be sure. One thing I can be sure of is that this track is amazing stuff, if this was dropped anywhere the dancefloor would fill and would stay full until the last groove is played. A pure genius blend of hip hop vocals and a ear filling electro bassline. So so recommended. People have to hear this.

Future Forward: Welcome 2 Chicago, on Uniquedist.com
Future Forward is a new brand of Chicago Jack"stylemusic conceived by Matt Nee who recently appeared on DJ Hell's ubiquitous Intl Deejay Gigolo label. Features a remix from Plastique De Reve who's singles have smashed the electro scene to pieces.
www.Uniquedist.com

Future Forward is a new hybrid of Chicago "jack". Obviously, the concept is to create modern acid house that goes back to its earliest roots. Vocals on these tracks will remind you of Marshall Jefferson and are guaranteed to take you waaay back to the times of Fast Eddie. Plastique De Reve's mix is sooooo old school hip house Chicago jack, you gotta love it!!!! Being caned by Felix Da Housecat, DJ Hell and Tiga.
Alison Tara, www.turntablelab.com

Gigolo affiliate Plastique de Reve has always delighted 20JFG with his jackin' take on Chicago house, which in the Spanish guy's opinion totally beat the excessively po-faced pseudo-acid goth revival that Ivan Smagghe and co. tried to bring about some time ago, again, in the chaotic days after the Electroclash bubble burst. Here you have him wobblying up Future Forward's excellent collaboration with John Simmons, Welcome 2 Chicago, out in Kompute records. The synthetic heart pumps strong in this gem, and blasts us away with the scorching energy of old skool chi-town black warehouse disco, jack and be damned you meat covered skeletons.

PLASTIQUE DE LUX: FREAKS OF LOVE (MENTAL GROOVE)
Turbo's Plastic De Reve and Luluxpo team up on the Mental Groove imprint with this killer slice of retro space disko 'Freak Of Love'. Powered by infectious electro house drums, deep rolling b-lines and retro synth touches and sampled drops this cut takes you back to the days of packed dancefloors from opening to close. Played by Miss Kittin, Playgroup and Morgan Geist.
www.channelzrecordz.com

The 7B tour with Cowboy Mark, John Player & Plastique de R..ve will be THE place to be if you still remember last year's Neon Loves Halloween with fond memories. Plastique, a.k.a. DJ Daze, can seriously bring the house down with his very own brand of hard-hitting acidic electro. He did so last year at the Overdose 4th anniversary party, so expect more of the same.

A rundown of the highlights, then; beginning with Disc One's insidiously effective curtain-raiser from Plastique de Reve, who lays down old-school raps over ominous electronic buzz and establishes the last-night-of-your-life fatalistic tone that's made-out in a number of these cuts.

Riviera Allstars , Viking Music, 12"
Big bottomed electro thrills from the mountains, in such a busy week it is imperative not to overlook this quality five tracker. Mental Groove's Crowdpleaser drop Crash Kiss which tweaks those MMM strings for us in the offices, burning track. Gino touches early acid for some sneaky mayhem, like a late eighties Ha..ienda classic, fully formed and up for it. Plastique de R..ve rough things up, very Skam, very DUB, absolute killer. Water Lily & St Plomb take a more lumpy,four four angle, still having it though on a mutant cut Soup Soup. Then Lary Pec wades in with more Donna inflections. Clubby as f*** and very boss indeed, the swiss are coming.

Swell.net
- Well everyone else seems to be jumping on the 80's bandwagon so why not the French.This one comes from the Prozack label and comes with 2 mixes of one heavy ass electro cut and one hybrid between Chicago booty and 80's new wave.Thought Felix and Hell were the only people who could do this shit..well you thought wrong.

«Der heisseste Scheiss»
Electro: Der Schweiz, insbesondere der Romandie, mangelt es nicht an Elektroniktalenten.
Meistens wird man allerdings zuerst im Ausland auf sie aufmerksam. So auch im Falle von PLASTIQUE DE R..VE. Sein Hit «Rod..o M..chanique» bet..rte mit seinem B-Boy-Flair und den verst..renden Sounds mindestens so wie die Sirenen in Homers Odyssee. Erschienen ist der Cowboy-Elektrofunk 2002 auf DJ Hells Label Gigolo; der Kanadier Tiga schnappte ihn sich gar f..r eine seiner Mix-Compilations. Doch auch mit sp..teren Produktionen riss der Genfer die Presse zu Aussagen hin wie: «Die Schweiz ist der heisseste Scheiss.» (sib) [ZT 21.06.2006]

Das ist nun die zweite Gigolo-EP des aus Genf K..nstlers Christophe Dazen aka Plastique De Reve. Auf der A-Seite geht es mit dem "Rodeo " los, der im "Air Guitar Mix" mit Breakbeat, Sprechgesang und verzerrten Synthie Sounds den Esprit einer Rodeohymne f..r das neue Jahrtausend verbreitet. Mit dem "Acid Worm Mix" gibts das Ganze in einer leicht acidangehauchten Version mit Breakbeat und der typischen s..genden Bassline, die wir von dieser Musik gewohnt sind. Flipside wartet mit zwei Neuinterpretationen des Electric Esemble-Klassikers "It happened then". Der "Space Vocal Mix" steht dabei ganz in der Tradition des Vocal-Synth-Pops mit piepsigen Synthies und durch den Vocoder gejagten Stimmen. Quietschig, aber geil! Als Abschluss h..rt man dann den "Instrumental Loop Mix", der einfach auf die Vocals verzichtet, Punkt. J.Knoblich

Plastique De Reve : Rodeo Mecanique/It Happened Then (Gigolo 91)
Der Genfer Laptopfranzose beweist nicht nur bei seinen provokant-am..santen Live-Gigs spontanen Megaphon-Humor, auch sein langerwartetes Zweitrelease zeigt, dass er die bajuvarische Hauptstadt zwischenzeitlich wohl nicht nur audiophil liebgewonnen hat. Trashige 80ies-Strukturen mit digitalen Vocoderismen verlieren sich in perfektem Arrangement und fluffigem Groove, zeugen von kindlicher Naivit..t und verspieltem Enthusiasmus, den ich eher der Lasergun-Fraktion zuordnen w..rde. Hochmelodische Ohrw..rmer im Eisprung h..pfen im Downtempo-Funk den Rodeo Mecanique als logische Crossover-Konsequenz mit B-Boy-Flair, w..hrend die Neuinterpretation des Electronic Ensemble-Klassikers sich im Hi-NRG-Kitsch suhlt und vielleicht genau deswegen so zu gefallen mag, dennoch aber bei zu langer Spieldauer an den Nerven zehren kann - ..bertypisch Gigolo.

Plastique de R..ve - ?Syntax Error (International Deejay Gigolos)
Auf der Gigolo Compilation dieses Jahres wurde uns mit ..?Syntax Error" schon ein Vorgeschmack auf die Maxi des Schweizers Plastique de R..ve gegeben. Drei zus..tzliche Tracks f..gen sich in die Sound..sthetik von 80er Jahre Computerspielen ein. Das Ergebnis ist ein trockener Elektro, der sein Potential gerade durch diese Einfachheit generiert. K..hle Beats und tiefe kratzige Vocoder ziehen den Sound auf eine optimale H..he. Die gesamte Platte tr..gt diverse Ger..uschmodule in sich, die der internen Kommunikation in einer russischen Weltraumrakete ..ber einen C64 gleichen - Ein Schiff auf dem Weg in die Schwerelosigkeit..

Plastique De R..ve : ?Syntax Error (Gigolo 52)
Klingt stark nach Christopher Just meets Miss Kittin, aber das liegt wohl nur am Vocoder - halt dieser typische, etwas s....liche Mac-Sound. Vier abgespacete Electro-Geschichtchen, die viel zu freakig sind, als dass man sie als Retro abstempeln k..nnte. Und doch k..nnen sie diesen gewissen, naiven Science-Fiction-Charme der Achtziger nicht ganz leugnen. Am meisten Spa.. macht der zweite Track "Konpy..ta", der zum Ende gar in einen geraden Beat ..bergeht, und so noch st..rker die Br..cke zum EBM schl..gt. D-Weird *****

Apr..s DMX Crew, nous nous demandions vraiment ce que pourrait faire Plastique de r..ve derri..re un set comme celui l... Premier Deejay Gigolo de la soir..e, il va assurer, et il assura ! Commenc.. par un son tek assez propre, les morceaux s'enchev..treront un par un, et l'histoire commence. Consonante acid, puis des purs arp..giateurs, des sons funky, new-wave, pour tout dire, simplement ouvert et ..clectique. Deux heures de set incroyable, nous avons tous ..t.. conquis sur la piste. (Je regrettes de ne pas avoir la playlist des sets de la soir..e, mais pour un morceau pourrai r..sumer celle-ci, vous pouvez chercher ce morceau : The Juan Maclean - You can't have it both ways ou encore Copyshop - Adultery EP). Ce qui ..tait excellent aussi, c'est de voir plastique de r..ve mimer le son, de jouer les notes des arp..ges ou autre accord au dessus des platines. Cela faisait longtemps qu'un DJ ne nous avait pas mis tous d'accord sur un dancefloor. Bref, tout simplement magnifique, limite aux portes de la transe parfois, mais r..solument techno, en un mot, chapeaux bas.

The dance web, 11.06.2002, Giosue Impellizeri
PLASTIQUE DE REVE "Rodeo Mechanique" (Gigolo) A poco pi.. di un anno dall'uscita di "Magique E.p.", lo svizzero Daze alias Plastique De Reve ritorna sull'etichetta di Dj Hell con un disco che ha dell'incredibile. Suoni sintetizzati che sembrano provenire da un gioco del Commodore 64 ed una melodia simpaticissima sono le caratteristiche essenziali "Rodeo Mechanique", stupenda release che ha gi.. attirato l'attenzione di molti addetti ai lavori, in primis Mr. Splank alias Zombie Nation. Ottima ed immediata la Air Guitar Mix mentre trovo leggermente pi.. statica la Acid Worm Mix. Il lavoro di Plastique comunque mi piace moltissimo e credo che non deluder.. le aspettative dei fans che attendevano da tempo il suo ritorno discografico. Sul disco troverete anche "It Happened Then" (sia nella Space Vocal Mix che nella Instrumental Loop Mix), ottimo esempio di musica elettronica del 2000. Daze .. un personaggio molto attivo nella nightlife svizzera: registra numerose serate (in versione live-set) ed ha firmato svariate produzioni con altre labels underground come la Mental Groove, WMF e Viking Music. Ora ritorna su Gigolo e devo ammettere che questo .. da considerarsi un grande ritorno a tutti gli effetti. Ps: vi consiglio di cercare la versione di "Diskossa" che Plastique realizz.. qualche tempo fa per i finlandesi Ural 13 Diktators: un vero frullato di tec(h)nologia esperimentalismo sonoro pi.. estremo. Buona caccia.
