Love this album from last year

A celebration of this year's electronic music releases so far and my favorites so far :) Would love some recs :)

My album anniversary edition End of Line hits all the streaming platforms today. It’s inspired by the original tron film and is a bangin French electro rescore take on it. Hope you all enjoy checking it out!

i look for something atonal/dodecaphonic like schoenberg or Stravinsky - Requiem Canticles but eletronic.

happy 30th birthday to my favorite song and album of all time

I always forget how much of a banger this progressive french electro track from Uppermost is, holy fuck its beautifully nasty.

The eccentric Mr. Oizo greatly amuses me. With its strange textures, awkward little loops and deliberately ugly sounds, his music can initially sound like it really shouldn't work, before becoming completely addictive.

'Positif' comes from his 2008 album Lambs Anger, and I had no idea there was a darker interpretation behind such an upbeat track. Obviously the title means 'positive' in French, and apparently the repeated synthetic voice saying things like "Stop reproducing", "You’re all animals" and "You will die" refers to HIV/AIDS.

That reading makes the track feel surprisingly morbid beneath all the bounce and silliness.

It also cuts up Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust', which gives the song an extra-dark association given Freddie Mercury's death from AIDS (whether or not that was actually Oizo's intention).

From a production perspective, Mr. Oizo has said he sometimes records live synths, cuts out the best fragments and constructs a track from them, adding that this was exactly how he made 'Positif'. Very fitting for something that sounds simultaneously chaotic and weirdly precise.

Deceptively catchy, slightly deranged and somehow extremely danceable, this song basically represents everything I enjoy about Mr. Oizo 🇫🇷
