 Jean Gabin - Biography - Moviefone
The most popular French actor of the prewar era, Jean Gabin was the essence of world-weary stoicism; a classic antihero, his characters ran the gamut of society's victims and losers, outsiders damaged by life and with no hope of survival.
Gabin and Dietrich, whom he was dating offscreen, instead made 1946's Martin Roumagnac; it was not successful, nor was the follow-up, 1947's Miroir.
Gabin and Carné were then encouraged to set aside their differences in order to rekindle both of their careers; while 1951's La Marie Du Port was produced without incident, it made few waves upon its release.

On their debut album Italian electronic-duo Gabin (say it with me, "GAA-bahn") have made a fairly diverse collection of primarily house-based music.
Max Bottini also had a career as a renowned jazz bassist previous to forming Gabin with lounge DJ Filippo Clary.
The bottom line is that if Baz Luhrman is planning on making another movie similar to his take on Romeo and Juliet or Moulin Rouge he’d do well to give Gabin a call as it’s clear to this reviewer that they’re definitely on the same page.

Gabin's mixture of chill out, jazz and house is certain to appeal to fans of St. Germain, Dimitri From Paris, Kruder & Dorfmeister, as well as to consumers of the Verve Remixed, Hotel Costes, Cafe Del Mar and Buddha Bar collections.

All in all, "Gabin" will make a nice addition to any music lovers CD collection, especially if you're craving originality, creativity, excellent mixing and production...a quality many artists these days are seriously lacking.

 Gabin - Gabin: Silent Uproar
Gabin is a European post-Moby dance outfit that appropriates a blend of antiquated orchestra and vocal samples.
It has some DJ elements and a few guest vocalists, but the integrated old-fashioned vocal clips (much like Moby’s Play) are the most interesting, but that’s not really saying much.
Exploiting drum-machine presets and some very plain melodies, Gabin takes it’s design from the worst elements of Moby and doesn’t ever claim any individuality.

The original Gabin -- a French actor known for his portrayals of jaded, faded anti-heroes in 1930s and '40s-era films -- might have chuckled ironically if he had been told that, a half-century after his heyday, two Italian musicians would name a fledgling lounge music project after him.
