The Eternals

House / Electro trio from France, comprised of artist 6350 and Monsieur Club.

The Eternals was a trio composed three French DJs/producers from Toulouse, brothers Ali & Farid Allalou (aka Dirty Ali & Funky Farid) and Henning Specht (aka Monsieur Club). Back in the days Ali & Farid hosted a show on a Toulouse radio station, FMR, whose studios were located beneath a nightclub, Le Bikini. It was there that the two brothers met DJ Gilb'R (Gilbert Cohen), head of the Versatile Records label, who wanted to create a dance-floor subdivision called Discotheque. Gilb'R then signed their first EP in mid-1999 under the name Vinyl Fever. Ali & Farid discovered the 12" of Funk Legacy (formed by Romain Tranchart of Modjo & Davis Mouyal) and decided to send some beats to the Vertigo (2) label. "Times & Places" was then released in 2000 and included the funky-house track "04H50 AM On The Floor". Ali & Farid then founded the project The Eternals with Specht (who was part of the electronic music group Hypnolove (along with Thierry Moreira and Nicolas Sentenac), which released tracks on the Confusion (3) label, as well as on Record Makers, the former label of French group AIR) whom they met at a disco while hosting and DJing as Vinyl Fever during a house music themed party. Specht had composed a little house demo track with lots of funk and disco samples which the brothers opted to produce. Farid composed a hip hop house beat, Ali (who is a Marvel comics expert) wrote the lyrics, did lots of editing and finnaly, Specht recorded himself Zeus' deep voice. That track became the hit track "Wrath Of Zeus" released on Crydamoure (the label of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, half of Daft Punk, who later refused to release their full lenght album on the label). Later, Ali & Farid met Alan Braxe (who was living in Toulouse at the time) when he sold them a sampler. Alan introduced them to Benjamin Diamond (producer & singer of Stardust), who signed their projects Vinyl Fever & The Eternals to his own label Diamond Traxx. In 2002, Ali & Farid launched the project The Altered Beast with their friend & collaborator Madji'K signed on the VOX label (a subdivision of Vertigo (2) ) and released "Coney Island" on 20000st. In 2003, The Eternals released their first and only album [m=63935] on Diamond Traxx / Capitol Records, conceived as a soundtrack to a science fiction film they had imagined. This album navigates between electronic music and nods to John Carpenter, with a few mysterious interludes. In 2004, they released the album on DVD, featuring short films, counting the Sci-fi story they had envisioned, and shot specifically for the occasion.
In 2011, the brothers Allalou revived the project "The Eternals" as a duo (Henning Specht, now based in Berlin, was not part of the reunion) and released tracks on their new label Night Force Records & a new track called "Tribute To Snake Plissken" on Champ'Caine Records.
