POPULAR COMPUTER JOINS THE EYE INDUSTRIES FAMILY
We are delighted to announce that Popular Computer is now a part of the Eye Industries family. Sylvain Dalido began composing as Popular Computer in 2002, at first he created straight pop music but electronic elements fell into place, giving his music a technological fantasy angle, of life on the edge, running too fast.
In 2004, Popular Computer’s track “I Can’t Forget You’ caught the attention of Tiefschwarz who included the song in their Misch Masch mix compilation. In 2005 was released by Kitsune Music as 12” and was featured in the Kitsune Music/ Fearless Records compilation Kitsune Fur. Popular Computer’s “Darling” was then featured on the Kitsune X compilation, “Darling” was considered by many to be the standout track on the compilation this would lead to his next track, “Clone Age” to be featured on the first of the now prestigious Kitsune Maison series. Once again the track was considered by the press to be a shining example of the Maison series and would lead to his next track “Next Level Pope” featuring on the second Maison compilation the following year.
Following this, Popular Computer gained more exposure through his wide range of unique remix work. Popular Computer has already remixed the likes of “New Young Pony Club”, “Mylo”, “Hot Chip”, “Pacific!”, “The Whip” & “Shinichi Osawa”. His remix work is unparalleled in quality when you hear a Popular Computer remix there is no mistaking his unique production style.
In 2008, Rise Recordings released Popular Computer’s debut “Senso Data”, which featured newer versions of the tracks featured on Kitsune collections and a 7”, “Girl(S)” which was released through Arcade Mode. The album also received a release in Japan this year. Popular Computer is gaining a big following in Japan. He has already headlined “The Womb” one of Tokyo’s biggest club venues.
Popular Computer is currently working on a second album due to be released in the fall, proceeding that a single taken from it September.
Popular Computer’s sound is distinct, a fresh take on French dance music, a sound very much of the future being brought to you today.
