Review

Nights at the Machine du Moulin Rouge in Paris are always intense, rich in quality shows and really festive! Just when the night was hitting its peak, Thieves Like Us kicked in with some heavy stuff. The electro pop set was a light moment of purity and intensity. Sweet.

Thieves Like Us

Thieves Like Us are two Swedes and one American living in Berlin, Paris, and Milan. They are one of the only multi-nationals that won't exploit you. Mexicans love them. The French love them. Americans love them. The Japanese love them. Neither Andy Grier (vocals, guitar), Björn Berglund (synth), nor Pontus Berghe (percussion) live in their home countries, and none of them probably ever will again.

They first met at a picnic in East Berlin in 2002. Since then, they have also lived together in London, Paris, and New York City. The trio can often been seen in and around night clubs, but they fit awkwardly there. Thieves Like Us were first discovered by the French imprint Kitsuné who released their single, "Drugs In My Body" in 2007. They make pop music with a vintage electronic feel. Many times it makes you dance. Other times it makes you feel strange and wonderful. Back in the day they probably would have signed a contract in blood with Factory Records.

2008's "Play Music", their first album, would definitely have fit the bill. BBC Music called it "consistently exciting ... a contender for electronic album of the year." A writer for the legendary entity Amoeba Music exclaimed: "I have managed to fall deeply in love with this band in a matter of weeks. It is getting to the point where I don't want to listen to anything else." They are just about to release their second album, "Again and Again", and continue their non-stop world tour.

Label

deBonton

Why?
Because things are boring. Because things are repetitive. Because no one smiles on public transportation. Because everything is in construction. Because this might not last much longer (the way things are going.) Because music should make you dance, laugh, and think (and sometimes even cry.)


How ?
We aim to span genres but remain pop with an affinity for dance-worthy remixes. We love synths, discos, emotions, drums, and melodies. What's that sound? Pop pop pop. We release music we love made by artists we believe in. We throw parties in Paris and elsewhere.

We are deBonton.

deBonton is a Paris-based pop music label. You can purchase our releases on iTunes (and everywhere else online) as well as from our website if you want a vinyl or CD. Check below for parties or deBonton dj sets. If you want to be invited just become friends with Julian deBonton.
