Everything about this is so ahead of its time. It present all the tropes that today music videos and music itself has use: Animal Mascots, gleaming background lights, dialogue interrupting the music, heavy bassy music (it did create the electro house genre after all), and of course, the artists themselves are European.
I don't know much about electronic music but the puppet in the videos and the dialogue of the characters is hilarious! So very understated yet so effectively funny. The guy is a genius in my opinion.
Okay let me explain it for you all, If you didn't know, Stéphane commited a crime. He was escaping the cops with Angel (The dude driving the car in the Levi's ad) and that's why you can see a cop pulling Stéphane and Angel over and confronting them. Stéphane changed his name to Eric Flat to avoid suspicion and hide his identity from the police, and has kept the name ever since.
And if any of you are wondering why Eric doesn't have ears and Stéphane does, it's because Stéphane was under a lot of depression and he got lost in his own world. He drank a load of alcohol and took drugs. Eventually it led up to him amputating his ears. That's when Angel found him lying on the floor covered on blood. Eric's story is pretty sad, but he did commit a crime. So yeah, just in case you don't get what I'm trying to explain, here is it in Laymans Terms: Eric and Stéphane are both the same person.
That's technically Stephane, he was the original puppet before Flat Eric, the main difference was the Stephane had ears and fingers that were fixed in place. The character was redesigned by the Jim Henson company who made the design we have now of Eric.
Hi Stéphane. Happy to meet you. Nice to see your beginnings. You're one of my favorite guys ever! Swami also sends his regards! You guys should meet sometime, in one incarnation or another.
He looked like a goldfish in the car when the dude was washing the outside of the car. Excellent squelchy wonky beats and puppets. As a toy cat weird video maker, always good to see someone successful with toy videos.
I know, right? I dated Eric for two years whilst I attended University. He had a terrible drinking problem and it didn't work out, but I digress.. Eric harbored a lot of resentment towards Stephane, though it was never completely clear why. When I finally left Eric it was Stephane that that reached out to me, and being the sweet sensitive friend that he is, proved to be a great source of comfort. I don't know what I would have done without him.
We did have the best dance music with syreal videos back in the 90's. Kinda glad to have survived the rave scene, RIP to those mad feckers that never made it past the year 2000. Up the yellow bellies yas mad yokes!

I remember listening to that track for the very first time and I come from the 80s, being used to percussive basses like DM and Vince Clarke - and I said OMFG they are playing basses backwards! That's the end of the occident! Well, yeah, I got used to it meanwhile.
This isn't dubstep, but the genre which shaped elelectronic music for the next two decades. So you will hear a lot of similarities but claiming this as dubstep?
Hurry up, preorders won't last long... fcommunications.ochre.store/ 😉

Being European is very ahead of its time
17 years later, actual music ("future" deep bass) is very similar
BIG MR OIZO
MrDannySpain true yeah! i was 18 here....

Didn't Eric end up I'm prison anyway though?
Stephane is a different character
@@JonasTisell Is the mom of Flat Eric
@@TofuKN688 yes..
Omg look how fluffy Flat Eric was, he even owned ears back then.

The earliest dubstep. Imagine listening to this on the streets in 1998
How come this is dubstep?
This isn't dubstep, but the genre which shaped elelectronic music for the next two decades. So you will hear a lot of similarities but claiming this as dubstep?
