Almost 20 years ago, this monument of jazz music died, and today would have been his 85th birthday. Sometimes I'd like to have a time machine and see him playing live...
Nicolas Jaar, 20 years old, born in Chile and raised in New York, released last year this surprising downtempo House track. What do you think about this?
I already know that this track is very popular, but I love it. I had to share this with you, because it's here another perception of what Hip-hop is, maybe even the good one, I don't really know.
Furthermore, Jun Seba or Nujabes, had a car crash last year, and left us some of the best songs I've heard. RIP
This tune is more relaxing and chilling than the one I posted just before. My musical taste is very eclectic and I want to make you discover different things, so you'll probably dislike some of my posts, but maybe one day you'll find here the track you were looking for since a long time.
I know that my musical likes seem sometimes strange, but it's hard to deny the quality of Pantha du Prince's productions. I hardly recommend his album "Black Noise"
Hotflush Recordings is an excellent label, with an eclectic catalog and many brilliant artists that I like. There's one of his best records, a remix from one of my favorite artists, James Blake.
I love all those hypnotic Techno stuff which comes from artists such as Sandwell District, Lucy or Jeff Mills. I'll often post tunes of these great names of Techno.
I advise you to listen the last album from the duo Sandwell District, composed of Regis and Function, which is titled "Feed Forward".
This track is from "Irreversible" OST composed by Thomas Bangalter, a part of French duo Daft Punk. If you already saw this movie, it will probably remind you the horrible rape scene...
Not because I'm a "chauvin" as we say in French, but if I had to choose one orchestration of this wonderful, monumental and tragic movement, I would choose this one by René Leibowitz.
