About Release
Les Yeux Orange – French Affair
The new 12-inch from Good Plus (catalogue G+006) arrives with a quartet of edits that dig deep into the French underground, re-imagined for the vinyl format. Issued on 22 September 2026, the record gathers obscure dancefloor treasures and refashions them with a sleek blend of edits, hip-hop house, funk house and pop house sensibilities, promising a fresh perspective for crate-diggers and DJs alike.
While Good Plus’ recent output remains unlisted, the label’s reputation for curating forward-thinking dance music frames this release as a continuation of its discerning aesthetic. Les Yeux Orange’s return after a six-year pause aligns with the label’s habit of delivering meticulously edited cuts that appeal to both collectors and the dancefloor.
Side A opens with “Queen Size”, an edit that channels the record’s overarching Balearic groove, setting a buoyant tone that segues into “Story”. The second A-side track builds on the same rhythmic foundation while introducing a subtle shift in mood, keeping the momentum fluid for a seamless DJ transition. Flipping to side B, “Discothèque” leans into the release’s disco-infused character, offering a rhythmic pulse that encourages movement without overwhelming the mix. The record closes with “Répertoire”, a final edit that ties together the set’s eclectic influences, delivering a satisfying conclusion that maintains the record’s cohesive vibe.
Within Les Yeux Orange’s modest discography, this EP marks a notable moment: a return to the Good Plus roster with a focus on re-contextualising rare French material. The choice to edit these selections showcases the duo’s curatorial eye and their ability to translate hidden gems into functional dancefloor tools.
For DJs, the four tracks provide versatile building blocks. “Queen Size” and “Story” work well as opening or mid-set layers, their steady grooves allowing for smooth layering. “Discothèque” offers a brighter, disco-leaning energy suitable for peak-time peaks, while “Répertoire” serves as a cool-down or transition piece, its understated drive fitting for winding down a set or linking to deeper cuts.
The record is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format expectations of collectors who value tactile listening experiences. Its four-track layout respects the traditional EP structure, delivering concise, purpose-built edits that are ready for immediate spin.
