My semester abroad in London of 2003 I went to hear him dj 2 or 3 times around town. The third time he was playing the tiny back room/bar area of The End. He took a break at the bar and I told him how much Darkdancer influenced me in the US, and how ahead of its time it was. He was super nice and seemed genuinely flattered that I knew who he was and that I came out to hear him play. Fast forward 2 years later and the guy is producing for and touring with Madonna. Crazy.
bought a laserdisc player for a $1 at a local music shop that was closing down. i was surprised it had a disc in it of old music videos and this was on there 🙂. so cool
Joseph Lowry he gets plenty of recognition. He produced Madonna’s Confessions album, was the musical director for two of her tours, produced three Pet Shop Boys albums, an album of The Killers, as well as a shit ton of remixes under the moniker “Jacques Lu Cont” (Like the remix of Madonna’s 2003 song Hollywood, the mix she chose to use at the VMAs when she kissed Britney Spears. He’s one of the most sought after producers around.
If you want to hear him DJing, Jac le cont, fabriclive 2003. It one set of the year. Blinding mix of eclectic stuff when every other house DJ was playing new releases he kick arse by going back to the 80's synth vibe. The guy is a legend.
And his name is Stuart Price. After 21 years I have discovered he is an Englishman.. I Always assumed he was French, I mean this sounded very French to me :)
Dat' clip !!! So 80's !!! This album is excellent, a revival of the pop culture of 80's with good vocoder and synthesizer effects, that rings true. This spirit is visually well retranscribed in the clip, a esthetic colored very kitsch but forever cult. 5* work ;). CLASSIC'.

I remember watching this video and thinking “oh no, the 80s revival is around the corner”. And now that revival is over, now it’s mid nineties revival, haha.
I am fully convinced this is the best song of all time.
You will never be this cool.
You can be this cool
BUT YOU GOTTA FOCUS
That's a fact.
This track ROCKS!!!
2024 I'm here and you?? ❤
Lol, same. This video is epic. Stuart is awesome.

Goddamn, pretty jealous of this. Darkdancer was probably my favorite album for a couple years after it came out.
Yeah I saw him DJ at a club in Liverpool called Chibuku around that time. Great set, really got the crowd going
Your adventures are worthy of praise and admiration.
One of the true EDM classics, so underrated. Cool cameo from Boy George too, nice
@Isaac Dweck EDM is an umbrella term for electronic music and Electro is considered to be under that umbrella
@Isaac Dweck EDM literally means "Electronic Dance Music".
Using it for Big Room and Prog House is moronic.
@Isaac Dweck Deadmaus is a little house-ish.. and isn't Skrillex dub step? I don't like EDM though..:D
I saw your channel, and I think I understand you better than you think! Thumbs up! :) :)
@@C4_Shaflmao that term was litteraly created by the majors to market Big Room & prog house, nobody used it before 2012
Can’t believe I’ve never seen this until 2021. Loved the 80s and 90s. This is great!
Did you ever find out what's that sound?
Found it @@8BitNaptime! It's the sound of pure breakdancing joy.
One of the best electronic albums of that time
Hear hear 👍🏻
So underated@@bobholness203
one of the best basslines
+spaceshi1984 no doubt
nick strakker band?
One of my earliest influences in music styles. I love this guy, he really digs into 80s sounds
He was the first person to make 80s-sounding music in the 90s. Before that in the 90s, it was considered very uncool to reference the 1980s.
Picked this cd up cheap as well...I always remember the tag line from this track. Not heard this in years!. Reminds me a little of Howard Jones...
Holy crap i saw this song on tv years ago in the early 2000’s i only saw it once and for years i have had in my head
Check out Phunk Phreaks - Love to love you baby.
I saw this on MTV Amp back when techno was much respected. I bought this album Darkdancer and loved every track on it!
Yeah, great MTV Amp memories.
RIP MTV Amp! So many great memories coming home late at night and catching this on TV randomly and having my mind kind of blown.
He's a red-haired Pied Piper from 1988. ❤❤❤❤❤
How does this not have more views?? A mystery...
because it's a song that's about 20 years old, that was conceived around 80s nostalgia?
Love it! That key-tar is the Persuadertron from Syndicate!
Gets my juices flowing..
Had this album and remembered this today. 2020, still ish.
2020 still a banger
Love this video and all the 80s production references.
Exceptionnel!!!!! ;) Pur son des 80' qui nous vient des 90' Magic DarkDancer.. Ca me rappelle mon adolescence... :) Merci ;)
that Skee-Lo sample really makes it work
hows that possible if this was made in 1998 and skee-lo in 1995?
@@cubismo85 do you understand how time works?
I always thought that SkeeLo took it from him ! Thanks for the info
Mattteus that why I am here XD
"stop children what's that sound? everybody look what's going down" buffalo springfeild
The EDM pied piper for sure 😆 Love this tune and video!
I saw this guy live at the Riverside in Newcastle around 1998. He was phenomenal, playing bass, sampler and keys on his own.
bought a laserdisc player for a $1 at a local music shop that was closing down. i was surprised it had a disc in it of old music videos and this was on there 🙂. so cool
2021. Still fresh!
This artist needs more recognition.

Also remixes under the name Thin white duke, a nod to Bowie
If you want to hear him DJing,
Jac le cont, fabriclive 2003.
It one set of the year.

The guy is a legend.
Yeah he get recognition from fellow artists but not enough from the public is what I think is the point@@amedeo29
One of the best live acts I ever saw. And one of the coolest videos ever too.
ahhh man that's so wicked, I sang the refrain to my 2 years old the other day
Stuart Price rediscovered the 80s before Daft Punk. For better or worse. But he was there first.
And his name is Stuart Price. After 21 years I have discovered he is an Englishman.. I Always assumed he was French, I mean this sounded very French to me :)
I thought he was one of daft punk!
he is english but he was born in Paris!
awesome combo...
Every time I am on the street I pray I run into this man
Epic. Tape to tape editing on a Grass Valley mixer no doubt. This song slaps. Crazy I didn't discover it until my 40's.
love this song

+Jordan Jean Don't know i you are, but I'm a1980s baby, I grew up with this.
still best music video ever all these years later
I always get down with this song & the vid always reminds me of an old DeVo music video
Through Being Cool, yep
An instant classic from the moment it came out (1998) of electronic music
Where has this been all my life?
Best music and video ever!!
love it lots of fun
What a masterpiece.
hard to describe how awesome this is...
Awesome Awesome and double AWESOME 🤘🎧🎙️.
Best video of all time
This is why the 90s are the best ☺️☺️😍😍😎😎.
ça fesait longtemps que j'avais pas bouger la tête en écouter un vieux titre électro et j'ai bien aimé le délire 80's ^^
1998
@@Sierraman59 Le morceau est sorti en 1998, mais le clip est clairement un hommage aux années 80.
-Mike, where have you been for the last week?
-Boss, if I tell you, you won't believe me.
-You missed an important meeting, Mike. It was our biggest client.
-Yes, I was on my way, but a guy came in with a synthesizer and...

this was made in 1998, when everybody still thought the 80s sucked
Yeah way before people started dick riding the 80s
Boogie Nights helped to give the 80's alot more cred.
+Muskateering So did time.
and they keep on sucking!
Who is repping the 80s now? Camp people? No thanks
Gotta love a key-tar
what? ??is that THE Boy George??? amazing Stuart...
Les Rhymes Hey you what's that sound? . I'd say this is kind of A party music 🎶
Love this! :)
So French I’m going insane!!! Haha I love Les R!!!
Actually he's British that happened to call himself like that :P
Very good quality - many thanks !
Incroyable !!
soooo retrooooo!!! haha cool...
I remember watching this video and thinking “oh no, the 80s revival is around the corner”. And now that revival is over, now it’s mid nineties revival, haha.
It ain't over until it's really over...
What an era
HEAVEN!
saw him djing in rio/brasil. awesome!
i never knew sacha baron cohen did great french house tunes too
Thank you for the Quality
Good Job.
LRD always the best ^^
Still fresh
super ce mec j'adore ..
2:41 best part of the video
Absolute dude.
They used to play this on MTV Amp back in the day.
This song stuck in my head, I heard it when I was a kid but I don't remember where. Maybe In SAGA game or ps1?
Wooow ! very goood !
1:36 Flashdance ❤
genious!!!!!
And THE Marilyn too. ;)
What is that sound?
trip to the 80s :D
Love Ya Morrissey!
1:00 isn't that the same corner that Boogaloo Shrimp breakdanced to Kraftwerk's Tour de France?
No, this video is in NYC, that corner is in LA.
Крутая тема :) !!!
Yes!!!!
Jacques Lu Cont is the 80s pied piper
Me encanta
WOW
digitaux bordel !
sublime!
Cyberpunk Jerry Seinfeld can jam!
LOL
I'm going to say this is proto-synthwave
Back then it was called electroclash (listen Miss Kittin - 1982, great stuff from that era tho).
In only a couple of years we won't be able to tell the difference between the before and the after. ;).
Why does this remind me of "Through being cool" video from DEVO?
1:47 Is that really him?
yes
Every time I hear this, I'm expecting the next track to be "I Need The Disko Doktor"
I should feel that I want to go to Night Clubs 🎙️🎙️🎤🎤🎙️🎙️🎤🎤🎙️🎤.
Black Eyed Peas like this!
This acid trip has a nice soundtrack to it.
it's Hammer Time
Obviously based on Hey You (The Rocksteady Crew) by The Rocksteady Crew from 1983.
The hey you what's that sound? vocals are sampled from an acapella version of Skee Lo's I wish
A Clockwork Orange reference. 0:15
that's goooood !
