CFCF dives into a extremely intellectual and moody realm with his latest mini-LP, “Excercises”. CFCF channels Steve Reich, Tangerine Dream, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Philip Glass into this latest release. Definitely a surprising and refreshing track from a producer such as CFCF.

John Talabot is a producer that really epitomizes the Catalan lifestyle and vibes with his tunes. He is a Barcelona based producer creating tracks that elevate the dancefloor into a moody and hypnotic state. His album “ƒin” is full of moody steady slowburner House tracks. The mood he sets borders the feeling of just starting off a night or ending the night and watching the sunrise. His tracks definitely have a parenthetical soundtrack feeling, it is up to you what you make of his music ( ).
The two standout tracks on the album both feature Pional. “Destiny” is a deep house pop song while “So Will be Now…” is a really journey of a song. In “So Will Be Now…” Talabot chops up vocals into a mantra that is reminiscent of Arthur Russell that floats a top a deep bassline.

Bonus: The legendary Rick Rubin “ruins” the Justice boys with his very straightforward disco breakbeat remix of “On’n'On”. I was thinking this was gonna be a bigger rock and roll remix since it was in the hands of Mr. Rubin but I guess not…
