Has anyone been listening to that new Chainsmokers LoFi remixes album? I’ve heard a lot of hype about it, streaming it now, it sounds LIKE LoFi with a pop/hook focused appeal while preserving that classic LoFi hypnosis that the style is known for.
Great for background focus, or even emotional zone outs.
Anyone’s cup of tea?
New single from Riverside. Full album due Jan.
At first I was a bit meh but this keeps running through my head like an itch I have to scratch by listening to.
Here’s one for the MetalHeads….
These guys are new to me…found in Qobuz new releases. Only a few songs in but Wowww!!! Cool old school Death/Thrash sound.
Digged the “Immortal Savagery” track.
Just laying around Saturday afternoon listening to Apple Music B52’s Essentials playlist. iPhone, Dunu Titan S, iFi SE dongle.
Just fine.
Better half right next to me looking at BTS videos on her iPhone.
That’s the way to do it.
My Favorite Game is my favorite song of any that appeared in a video game.
One of my longstanding ALL-TIME favorite tracks. Now through the “best” headphones and “best” amp in the world.
So I listened, Do you agree with Qobuz’ assessment of track 1? I quite liked it, not everything requires a build to climax.
Mmmm, not really. “Xpander” is a seminal classic in the progressive trance genre, and a career defining hit for Sasha, who before the advent of mainstream “EDM” was indisputably the biggest DJ in the world. This EP is full of goodness start to finish, but it’s the last track “Baja” that has always fascinated me. The slow burn build to an explosive climax is so satisfying (*interestingly, the liner notes rather enigmatically say “recorded at the Great Barrier Reef”).
“Xpander” on the other hand folds in on itself and circles back to repeat its main chorus over and over again in a hypnotic way. It DESTROYED dancefloors in the late 90s.
