LOST & FOUND EP OUT NOW ON RISE RECORDINGS!!!
He's fun and French. Not much more to ask for, eh?
The mysterious electro-pop master has an undeniably catchy personal musical style, as can be noticed from his short repertoire of singles- Oh Darling, I Can't Forget You, and Clone Age.
POPULAR COMPUTER? is a duo consisting of Parisian producer Sylvain DALIdo and his computer.
The name POPULAR COMPUTER fits this musical persona completely. Sylvain creates an amalgam of pop music and shiny retro-futurist electronic dance, the world he creates is a fantasy of sophistication and technological elegance.
Sylvain began composing as POPULAR COMPUTER in 2002, at first he created straight pop music but electronic elements fell into place, giving his song a technological fantasy angle, of life on the edge, running too fast.
Early on, the track ?I Can't Forget You? caught the attention of Tiefschwarz who included the song in their Misch Masch mix compilation.
Following this Sylvain DALIdo and his computer got more exposure via the Kitsune Maison series and his remixes for the likes of Mylo, New Young Pony Club, Hot Chip and Midnight Juggernauts...
The recent single ?Lost & Found ? is featuring the vocal talents of Pacific! and is backed with remixes by Shinichi Osawa and Sweetlight. It will precede the French producer's debut ?Senso Data?, due in November on Rise Recordings. The album will be available digitally a few weeks earlier.

POPULAR COMPUTER est un duo : Sylvain DALIdo et sa machine.
Un duo aux contours flous qui celebre en musique le fantasme assume et elegant d'une existence professionnelle, sociale et artistique simplifiee par la technologie.
Les premieres compositions de POPULAR COMPUTER circulent a partir de 2002. La couleur est resolument pop, mais l'influence club et les themes de l'amour, de la frustration du temps qui passe toujours trop vite apparaissent deja comme recurrents.
Parmi ces titres, ? I Can't Forget You ? attire l'oreille du groupe Tiefschwarz qui l'integre a sa compilation mixee Misch Masch.
Il sort dans la foulee en vinyle sur le label parisien Kitsune qui hebergera desormais ses productions au gre de ses compilations ? Maison ?.
Quelques remixes tres remarques viennent completer le tableau pour Mylo, New Young Pony Club, Midnight Juggernauts...
Aujourd?hui, l'univers musical de POPULAR COMPUTER ne cesse de s'affiner et ravive entre nostalgie et modernite, les promesses futuristes des decennies passees.
La sortie debut juillet 2008 du 12?? ? Lost & Found ? chez Rise Recordings, avec les remixes de Shinichi Osawa, Sweetlight ainsi qu?un featuring de Pacific!, annonce son premier album programme pour cet automne.
