Teenage Bad Girl - Cocotte

October 29, 2007 | Filed Under Artists, Labels, Releases |

Teenage Bad Girl’s first release, the 12″ “Hands of a Stranger”, quickly reached the dancefloor charts & since the beginning of their short career, they’ve been supported and playlisted by Mylo, Chloé, Paul Woolford, Erol Alkan, Ian Pooley, Justice, DJ Hell, Digitalism, Arthur Baker, Adam Freeland, Ewan Pearson, Vitalic, Boys Noize, Yuksek, etc. Now Teenage Bad Girl are set to release on Citizen Records their debut album “Cocotte” which includes 14 dirty electro tracks with some added remixes from Boys Noize and Hystereo. Some say they are a genetic mix of Daft Punk, Aphex Twin & The Stooges. Anyhow they are part of the new French “electro sound”, together with Justice, Para One, Modeselektor & a few others. And they know how to blow up any dancefloor!

Teenage Bad Girl are not your usual type of group. They met trading files on Soulseek, the famous peer-to-peer musical network. Guillaumme asked Greg to download a few tracks…then Greg saw his shared files, told him ‘cool taste’ and the rest is history!

Then after a few weeks of chat and trade, Guillaumme proposed to Greg to remix a track on his own label Archibell (which had already released the first Teenage Bad Girl).

After this remix, one day they thought about doing a track together but not meeting each other and continuing to work at distance. Through file sharing, Greg would start a version, Guillaumme then re-working some beats etc and that’s the way ‘Hands of a Stranger’, the first epic EP from the duo came into existence.

Well somehow, this is maybe a new way of working, they are young, using there own universe, net, surfing, old skool machines & sex! Nowadays, they continue to work with each other in their own apartment in Paris, today’s nerds are invading the French electro scene.
