Rival Consoles - Looming
I was struck by all the electric atmosphere in that track, a genius mix of heavy continuous bass and gorgeous synths on top of it.
Mac Demarco - One More Love Song
I discovered that song during his gig in Paris. I'm in love with the chord progression and the bassline that follows. Mac is mesmerizing !
The National - Day I Die
I'm a huge fan of that band since "Bloodbuzz Ohio", I remember that I was hypnotized watching the video at my parents when I was like 16 years old. I love their new album, and "Day I Die" has something special.
Embee - Moons
A lovely square drum pattern with an unstable bass synth. I like how it breaks then grows and grows till it just stops, and goes again like before, not more, not less.
alt-J - Deadcrush (Damian Lazarus Re-Shape)
The subs sound like a terrifying beast ramping on the ground. That's fun how Joe Newman sounds like a screaming witch in that one haha. Perfect for Halloween !
Kiasmos - Blurred (Bonobo Remix)
I've been listening to Bonobo since 10 years and I love his work. This remix is perfect for anytime, going to sleep, party, driving at night...I'm crazy about the original too.
Kid Francescoli - Moon
One of those song that sound like an eternal loop that you want to play again and again, and again.
Arty - Last Kiss
The simple rolling drums and the piano loop are addictive in that one. Like Kid Francescoli's one, effective loop !
The XX - On Hold (Jamie xx Remix)
Jamie is a genius, I find it inspiring how he breaks the border beetween genres and how he is able to build awesome tracks in really different styles/moods.
HOMESHAKE - NANKHATAI
Big surprise when I first played that track. But I won't spoil it, I want you to be as surprised as me if you didn't had the chance to hear it before !
