Antena

Antena were a Franco-Belgian trio whose music combined minimal electronic pop with samba and other South American styles. In the early 1980s they released their debut single, a cover of The Boy From Ipanema, produced by John Foxx, on the Les Disques Du Crépuscule label, gaining critical yet limited commercial success. A debut self-produced mini-album Camino Del Sol was also issued on the label in 1982. Founder member Isabelle Antena later embarked on a solo career, going on to form another group the Powaga Sisters, releasing three albums in the 1990s. As a solo artist she found particular success in Japan. 
Antena's contribution to alternative electro-pop has in recent years been widely recognised via remixes and re-releases of their work.

The DJ would have no doubt become aware of the group via their connection to Les Disques Du Crépuscule. Their cover version of The Boy From Ipanema gained considerable play among the more discerning DJs at Radio 1 on its release.
