He's french but lived in the english suburbs of Staines for a while (the shithole where Hard-Fi come from..) and maybe that's the best way to describe his sound: take the electro/disco parts from France, add the cockney irony of Staines and you have: FLAIRS. Last years "truckers delight" for me was one of the weirdest, but most hypnotic, catchy club-songs with it's massive ESG-like groove, spacey synth sounds and raw energy (I am still dreaming of clubs where this is the peaktime-sound). Now Monsieur Lionel Flairs rereleased his first single "Better than Prince" with some really cool remixes by Benjamin (Kitsuné), 25HRS A Day and Alavi (reRoX, the 12 Inch is actually out on Alavi's label roXour) plus the massive "Truckers Delight". This is ESSENTIAL.
