Reissues

Telex is a Belgian all-electronic disco pop band that was formed in 1978 by radio DJ and jazz musician Marc Moulin, programmer and sound engineer Dan Lacksman, and vocalist Michel Moers. The group gained popularity with their hit singles "Twist A Saint Tropez," "Moskow Diskow," and "Rock Around The Clock." Telex released five albums between 1979 and 1988, including "Looking For Saint Tropez," "Neurovision," "Sex," "Wonderful World," and "Looney Tunes." After a nearly 20-year hiatus, they returned with the release of the album "How Do You Dance?" in 2006. Unfortunately, Marc Moulin passed away in 2008 due to cancer.

During their break, Marc Moulin produced various pop albums, worked as one of the head programmers on French-speaking Belgian national radio, and also pursued his talents as an author and playwright. Dan Lacksman currently operates a studio complex called [l315683] in Brussels. Michel Moers resides in Provence, France where he works as a video director and photographer.

Telex's music continues to be cherished by fans around the world for its unique blend of electronic sounds with disco pop elements. Their contribution to the dance club scene remains significant with several popular Telex 12" releases being enjoyed especially in the USA.

Originally released in 1988 Looney Tunes, featuring the Dadaist cut-up ‘rap’ of “Peanuts,” resulted in Motown among those vying to sign them. “It would have been great to have been the second white band on Tamla Motown. Iron Butterfly were the first,” says Lacksman.

This is released alongside black vinyl reissues of Wonderful World and How Do You Dance? following the limited edition color vinyl box set release and individual releases of Looking For Saint-Tropez, Neurovision and Sex.

The Belgian synthpop trio - Marc Moulin (1942- 2008), Lacksman and Michel Moers - launched in Brussels in 1978 and, as one of only a handful of synthpop pioneers at the time, helped bring electronic pop to the mainstream. Telex announced their retirement in 2008, following Moulin’s death, and in 2021 began a new partnership with Mute beginning with the release of This Is Telex.&nbsp;
