Ahh good, it’s Sunday (I do like a good Sunday evening) and when you’re listening to Je T’aime at a reasonable volume you tend to bound along . “en négatif”, is listed as the first volume of remixes from their eponymous album. Yeah, you can get 5 tracks for free download (or minimal price of 1 Euro) where She Pleasures Herself, Ash Code, Ambasador 21 and Zus revisit the tracks of the Post-Punk New Wave album, which was one of the sensations of 2019! Released almost a year after putting out their astonishing debut LP, the French galvanizing outfit is released a new remix EP titled “en négatif – REMIXES”, as a celebration to Valentine’s Day. For those who don’t know, Je T’aime has been growing like fire between the underground European musical scenario since the release of Je T’Aime, an album that is raw, dirty, controversial, but highly addictive and incredible, just like love. 
en négatif – REMIXES contains a total of five tracks signed by four contemporary names in the darkwave scene: She Pleasures HerSelf, Ash Code, Zus and Ambassador 21. In the album you can find new interpretations for tracks such as “The Sound”, “Dance” and “Hide & Seek”. To celebrate the release of this new EP, Je T’aime also premiered a new version for the original “The Sound” music video, in which both theme and video are remixed by She Pleasures Herself. Je T’aime singer Dany Boy explains why they choose the Portuguese quartet to inaugurate the guest list:
“In this first chapter, we invited David Wolf, producer of She Pleasures Herself, who are on the same label as us, Manic Depression. They’re coming from Portugal and we like their sound and universe which are quite close to ours. In addition to making us this remix David also offered us a revision of our first video clip of this song, crazy guys“.
Dany Boy continues the story:
“We’ve always liked to hear remixes made by other artists. I can still remember the pleasure I had listening to remixed albums like Noir Désir‘s One Trip One Noise and Massive Attack‘s No Protection for a long time. The second band we invited on this project is Ash Code, an Italian trio that produces a darkwave sound that we like very much. I met them briefly on the NCN Festival in 2018 when I was doing the sound for Saigon Blue Rain. Ambassador21 is a Belarusian band of pure industrial music in which Crazy Z. plays guitar. Lovely and passionate people who love to party as much as we do. And to finish we offer you two remixes by Zus, an extremely talented Versailles friend, he is notably the guitarist of Chenille, a crazy French experimental metal band.”
Décidemment tu aimes je t'aime et moi j'aime je t'aime et je t'aime aussi
