DJ Falcon, co-writer/producer of "Together" with Thomas Bangalter returns to ShanghaiFriday, February 29, 2008 
Music industry veteran DJ Falcon (Stéphane Quême) came from Virgin Music’s A&R group to work on producing tracks for Roule and in 1999 put his signature sound on Cassius’ track “La Mouche” which went on to become a dance anthem in itself. But Falcon’s collaboration “Together” with Thomas Bangalter on Together in 2000 truly launched his career as a producer/remixer. Together has that unforgettable gospel opening and that cheeky sample where a man says: "A time has come to make a decision. Are we in this thing alone or are we in it together?" which came from the 1998 film Pleasantville. The track has spawned many imitators and continues to inspire artists and DJs looking to recreate an uplifting party vibe. A string of remixes including a bumping reworking with Harry “ChooChoo” Romero for Eric Morillo’s Subliminal Sessions 2xCD followed. In 2002 Falcon hit it big with Together again on Roule with the track “So Much Love to Give”. Like the original Together release, solid production quality with thick basslines and a catchy party hook -- the looped vocal “So much love to give...” left dancefloors afire. White label bootlegs made limited circulation and set the tone for new production direction and in 2004 Falcon hammered out the “Call on Me” track again with Bangalter, this time using the catchy hook from Stevie Winwood’s classic track “Valerie”! The track remained uofficially released most likely to clearance issues with the Winwood sample until Eric Prydz cleared it with Data Records. But the dancefloor damage was done and “Call on Me” went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2004. Most recently Falcon and Bangalter’s work gets the b-side reworking on another bootleg “Vive le France” (01/2007) and the electro heavy basslines of the original “Together” track are dirtied up to current dancefloor electro-house tastes. The deep, chunky electro basslines and twisted filter disco loops that characterize French house continue to hammer the dancefloors in Shanghai. Daft Punk’s extended family Daft Crew headliner DJ Falcon is no stranger to the party and is responsible for main room madness at such parties as Pacha, Back to Basics and Tribal Gathering. DJ Falcon continues on the fatty bass and wild party loop tangent mixed with a heavy doses of electro-house beats on his return visit to Club BonBon, Shanghai.
