This is the best album I've bought in a long time. I discovered it in the summer of 2005 and I could not stop listening to it since then. It's so innovative, subtle yet very intense. You can listen to it in a very disconnected way, during a little cocktail party in your living room, or simply to stop doing anything you might be involved with, close your eyes and just enjoy the whole album in one session. It's amazing, really.

Marie Ève really described it well in french in terms of music style. Champion just merged electric-guitar sounds and performances with the funky electro-lounge movement we've seen in the last few years. It creates a very good music atmosphere.

I went to one of his concert and it was the BEST concert I've ever attended. He was on stage, playing the beats with his computer, and along side of him were his G-strings, a quatuor of guitar players, one bassist and the female singer which I always forget the name. Everything about this guy and his work is nothing short of amazing.

I bought the CD 3 times so far strictly for gifts. It's that good.

This is a great album from Montreal based producer DJ Champion, a.k.a. Roy DuPuy. Combining electronic beats, a jamming chorus of guitars, and vocals from Beatrice Bonafassi, this grungy vibe slowly builds up to a rockin' climax. I never thought I'd want to hear electric guitars in my electronic music, but DJ Champion found a way.

This is a very decent album, a handful of great songs with some garbage but overall a worthy listen. The hit song here is No Heaven which will be obvious but the song NngG is good too.

Album tout simplement funky!

Je recommende à tous car c'est un album très accessible et bien construit. Le son fait un peu penser à Rinôçérôse dans le genre électro-house teinté de guitares... avec un fond un peu jazzy.
C'est du Saint-Germain mais avec double dose de bass!

Champion est maintenant mieux connu au Québec grâce à sa prestation remarquée au Festivel International de Jazz de montréal 2005 (un des plus gros shows du Festival)! Les chansons donnent envie de bouger et la voix de la chanteuse des Triplettes est magnifique!

Album de salon, de party, d'automobile... il s'écoute partout et donne une incroyable dose de bonne humeur!

Et c'est Québécois! Yeah!

Album à avoir dans votre collection! That's it!

This is an album that really grew on me, and got into my subconscious. It's a nice album to have on in the background, or to just relax to listening. It's hard to explain the sounds, it's just a nice ride. Really good hooks and memorable songs.
