André Obin “XO1979″

Punchy mechanical beats, vocodered vocal melodies and sweeping strings characterize the latest offering from André Obin. The opening half-time rhythm coupled with glistening, intricate arpeggiation leads to an ominous passage, conjuring images of a futuristic seance. And that’s exactly what a dance floor can be at times; a spiritual experience. Leave it to Obin’s string work to lift the track into the light, plus a white hot breakdown to boot!

M83 “Kim & Jessie”

From a galaxy far, far away… (France really) M83 return with another batch of gorgeous, 80’s enthused pop gems. Picking up where “Before the Dawn Heals Us” left off, Anthony Gonzalez continues to craft albums to make love to. Why this song “Kim & Jesse” was not the lead single is beyond me. Instant euphoria. Like a blossoming romance that only an electro/soft rock/shoegaze track can capture.
