French term or phrase:Set plus électro-house
Hello,
What's causing me problems here is the word "plus" Does it mean "predominantly (electro-house)" or is there such a thing as a "set plus" (=set with extras perhaps?). The text is about a DJ. Any help would be appreciated!
Il partage aussi sa passion pour la musique, en offrant tous les mois un set plus électro-house dans son podcast sur iTunes.
Thanks to everybody for your answers and rich discussion! I guess if you consider "électro-house" as an adjective, then "plus" would be a comparison, and would not (necessarily) mean "à dominance plutôt electro-house". The difference in meaning is quite subtle of course. Many thanks again! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Sorry Chris, but podcasts are definitely not "only to do with music and nothing else". Googling the term 'podcast' brings up a speech podcast (John Cleese's) on the first page. I myself subscribe to both a speech-only podcast and a radio show (mixed music and speech) podcast.
As far as I know and to the best of my knowledge, podcasts are only to do with music and nothing else. They are predominantly for showcasing new music talent (not solely new talent though) via the Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast
What's strange in this short excerpt we have ("il partage aussi") is that it perhaps implies that his podcast has something other than music? Perhaps Martin has more context?
Ce n'est pas "d'un mois sur l'autre" comme vous disez, parce que le texte dit "en offrant **tous les mois** un set plus électro-house dans son podcast sur iTunestous".
Donc, rien ne change d'un mois à l'autre. Le set est ainsi toujours le même.
Cela peut vouloir dire que, d'un mois sur l'autre, le set qu'il produit est encore un peu plus "électro-house" que le précédent. Je ne suis pas spécialiste du domaine, et d'autre part je ne me risquerais pas à l'exprimer en anglais ;-)

Explanation: yes, perhaps predominantly, but at least "more electro-house" (than other programs)
