Bot'ox is the brain child of car obsessed Cosmo Vitelli and Julien Briffaz. They have just released their first LP called Babylon by Car, a 12" of the same name was released way back in 2007 (even though it feels like last week!)
Cosmo for me as always been way ahead of his other French contemporises who may have been stuck in the Touch scene for a bit too long, he has an obsessive take on production which, for me serves him well as he generates a very original sound, he makes dance music the way I like it. This has a sense, though of being from another time yet very now, maybe because having met him a few times, he has an unbelievable knowledge, and broad taste, and a very genuine excitement in music, which serves this particular project well. Motorick, psychedelic souful dance music, but sure isn't all the best that way
Having come out from behind the studio door, Bot'ox have unleased themselves as a fully fledged live band, check out this live video, which features Kilkenny's Jeremy Hickey, aka R.S.A.G on drums.
Wasn't mad on the first clip until about 3:11 when the beat comes back in! A song of two halves.
