Dirty Sound System is Guillaume Sorge and Clovis Goux (and sometimes Benjamin Morando as a guest), music connoisseurs tastemaking their way through collections of all genres, from house to movie soundtracks, disco, or rock. Their California Mix is such an amazing journey that you pretty much can stay in front of your computer and still feel like you’re riding the Westcoast highways, soul-searching like a lonely warrior of love.

DIRTY SOUND SYSTEM – CALIFORNIA MIX

I made this special mix thinking of my future holidays in California with ‘Canardo’. Sun, sea & seals are expected. This is music for psychic road warriors. The end of the trip is taking place in Italy. Don’t ask me why.

TRACKLISTING

Ash Ra Tempel – « Silence sauvage »

Manuel Göttshing, the mastermind of Ash Ra Tempel, is the god of mental music. This track comes from the soundtrack of « Le berceau de crystal » by Philippe Garel, one of the french lovers of Nico.

Tangerine Dream – « Love On A Real Train »

From the soundtrack of « Risky Business ». Horrible movie if you don’t like the 80’s, scientologists and Wayfarers, but great Tangerine Dream score.

Pino Donaggio – « Body Double theme »

This is the moment when chippendales are ringing at your door for a sauna party.

Bruce Springsteen – « I’m on Fire »

The boss with 80’s keyboards. What a song! After this, I was thinking of playing « In the air tonight » by Phil Collins but i prefer this one :

Suicide – « Dream Baby Dream »

The dark side of the American dream. Bruce Springsteen covered this song on his last tour. A masterpiece.

Christophe « Rock Monsieur »

Christophe is our french Alan Vega.

JJ Cale – « Ride me High (Joakim edit) »

Country laidback classic by JJ revisited by Joakim. For cocaine cowboys.

Wilson, Dennis – « Dreamer »

Dennis Wilson was a beach boy, a friend of Charles Manson, and a Pacific ocean lover. He drowned at Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles.

Fleetwood Mac – « Walk A Thin Line »

From the incredible « Tusk » album, the quintessence of the west coast spirit : paranoia and freeways under the sun.

Ennio Morricone – « Notturno Per Tre »

At the end of the road, The Maestro is waiting for an « Autostop Rosso Sangue ».

Ennio Morricone – « Lisa E Nikos »

Direction South Europe with this track from the « Dedicato Al Mare Egeo » soundtrack.

Pippo Caruso – « Identificazione »

Epic and lyric, from one of the sickest movie ever made : « La Maladolescenza »

Rondo Veneziano – « La Serenissima »

As we say : « voir Venise et mourir »

Steve Reich – « Pulses »

As we say : « The light at the end of the tunnel is a train »
