Chester French is not one man with a slick name but a band of two who met as freshmen at Harvard, soon thereafter began making music together and somehow wound up becoming the new pet project of a one Pharrell Williams. Yes, that guy. While Max Drummey and D.A. Wallach's rise to almost-stardom is just short of unbelievable, one listen to their catchy electro-soul and the pieces begin to fit: these guys are the first producers to emerge from a group of kids that didn't grow up listening to hip-hop but still digested Neptunes beats through pop radio. In other words, Chester French specialize in the mechanical, futuristic bump of their heroes, mentors, and label bosses, but interpret it almost completely through the prism of post-Boy Band pop music, writing songs for the MGMT set that make MGMT sound like Slayer. The duo just released their debut EP, She Loves Everybody, through Star Trak, and, along with the original, we've got an exclusive Neptunes remix of the track up for download. On their version, Chad & Pharrell have basically invented the genre of Blade Runner Bmore, taking little more than the original's a capella and adding some processed breaks and Tron-worthy synth drops behind. It's pretty fresh stuff, specially available for you as part of our one-year-anniversary celebration. We'll be dropping a lot more exclusive awesomeness in the near future, so stick around for that.

Sounds like: any Max Martin record, MGMT, Kotchy
