Caravan palace - Parisian band that started as three collaborative music producers one being a singer. They all shared love of Django reinhardt and big band swing jazz and started by making music for a silent adult film. In my mind they are responsible for creating the genre they are associated with… “Electro Swing”… although every other attempt at the electric swing genre by other artists has fallen completely flat on its face in my ears…
The Album “Panic” is a newage Jazz masterpiece
The Presets- One of the biggest and most mesmerizing acts to come out of the Australian edm scene. If you apreciate sound design than…
the album “Hi-viz” is delightful in so many ways
Childish Gambino- The actor from the show community who single handedly created the award winning show Atlanta also became a Grammy award winning artist
The album “Redbone” is his magnum opus… a smooth mix of hip hop, and psychedelic jazz rock
Matt Mays - my hometown hero, a songwriting style akin to Sam Robert’s with a keen ear for using extremely experimental recording techniques.
The album “When the Angels Make Contact” - recorded in a world renowned studio, located inside a pharmacy building that stood tall after directly facing the Halifax explosion. The album is a mix of artists making music for a movie that lost funding and was scrapped… the artists all led by Matt Mays finished the music for the non existent movie anyway.
Yo there is something that is “the top of its class” within every genre… take Caravan Palace for instance… they had a new genre named after them.
Also remember that looser Skrillex that only makes weird old telephone noises and wub wubs well believe it or not that guy is actually one of the best sound designers in the world… he’s responsible for inventing all sorts of new shit, he still makes music too! He is legitimately on a quest for fire
There’s a whole lot of people that like to say “mixed really well” I mean no disrespect but what do you know about mixing?
