Your essential guide to all things French touch...

French touch is a music genre that emerged in the 1990s, characterised by its blend of house music with elements of disco, funk, and pop. It features smooth, melodic lines, filtered disco samples, and a distinctive emphasis on rhythm.

Pete shares some all-time classics from the likes of Daft Punk, Stardust, Justice, Phoenix, Bob Sinclar, Alan Braxe and more.

DJ, Producer, Daft Punk manager and Ed Banger record label boss Busy P runs through his essentials and on the Radio 1 Dance Rewind, we take it back to Ibiza in 2018 where the legendary French duo Cassius performed a special set on the Sunset Strip on the rocks at Caf茅 Mambo.

Produced by We Are Grape for 蜜芽传媒 Radio 1 Dance.
