A bit of everything, no context needed, the weekend is starting, life is good, have some music.
Usually, Claude posts about The Knife, but somehow I don't remember this being posted here, Planingtorock reworked Let's Talk About Gender Baby, Let's Talk About You And Me and released it on her album All Love's Legal (a must have!)
This Solomun Vox remix reminded me of old Metronomy, from the Nights Out era. Something about these vocals... love it.
And finally, I discovered this songs a few weeks ago during a Club Cheval mix on a french radio, and it sincerely blew my mind, there is nothing more to say, it made me go through the discography of both men involved, geniuses.
It's no big news, I always digged what Duke Dumont did.
His latest production was on the Annie Mac show a few days ago and it is brilliant, so brilliant Annie had to rewind it to listen to the beginning twice, haha.
It's such an upbeat song with steal drumbs that will make you travel to the caribbean, you'll feel like it's not freezing outside anymore, but it still is sadly.
I also was pretty happy to hear that he got nominated for a the Best Dance Recording Grammy with his song Need U (100%).
In case you didn't get the chance to hear it yet, here it is.
What else is new this week? Daft Punk released a video for Instant Crush. It's nowhere near as good as the Homework/Discovery era videos, but it's still way better than the Lose Yourself To Dance one.
And I know it's not to everyone's taste around here, but I enjoy hip hop and rap, so I HAD to talk about Childish Gambino that just released his new album called Because The Internet.
Overall the album is very well done, Donald still knows how to write, the production is top notch as usual, it's a bit more conceptual than his former albums though, lots of interludes so I guess some people will find that a bit annoying (if you take out the less than 1:30min long songs you still are left with 13 songs to listen to).
Alright, you'll fall in love after 5 seconds. Breakbot, you groovy funky genius.
7. SebastiAn – Enio
The worst track I've ever heard from SebastiAn, very bad. That song is so weak, I checked twice to see if it was really his. Sounds like Justice trying to do a song for a bad movie where nothing happens. Let's hope his album (hahahahahahaha.) will be better.
8. Mattie Safer – Is That Your Girl ? (Ft Telli From Ninjasonik)
No idea who the hell that is, but... N O.
9. Gesaffelstein – The Voice
Decent track, a bit too boring sadly, but I can understand what people would like in it. Simply not my type of music I guess.
Riton's killing it one more time. Those drums are definitely gonna make your ears smile.
18. Skream - Boat Party
I wasn't sure about Skream, not that dubstep's being overplayed at the moment but... you get it, I was worrying about the WUBWUBWUBWUBs. Great news, Skream still knows how to produce music without that shitty noise. Lovely tune, epic synths, I don't need anything more.
DJ Mehdi at his best. There's something that reminds me of Fatboy Slim in the way he uses the vocals. I don't know if I can say that Mehdi's trying to go bit beat, but if he is, he's gifted. OH and, the trumpet... !
20. Flying Lotus – Caravan Of Delight
One word : booooooring.
That's it for that bitter sweet compilation, it was worth the wait, but disappointing on some levels.
I couldn't not post about Mondkopf, because I just love the guy and he released an amazing remix. So dark, so good... I might have the chance to see him again in March, if any of you see him playing next to your town, go for it, he is incredible.
