I Feel Loved (Fur Coat Remix)

Greek wizard @echonomist arrives on @tautautauofficial with the ‘Modern Wonder’ EP, featuring three original cuts and a remix from @ditian. Echonomist hasbeen deep in the game for a long while and it’s safe to say he is Greece’s top DJ and producer of our times. He is an all-rounder who can DJ, produce and perform live with confidence and panache. After his exciting contribution to Dixon’s Transmoderna release alongside tracks by Ame, Trikk and others, ‘Modern Wonder’ sees Echonomist‘s debut with the TAU family.
Opening with ‘Eyes, the EP gets off to a dramatic start as moody synth lines and a driving bassline take us into the new wave zone. Echonomistdemonstrates his flair for arrangement here, with a carefully arranged track that could almost have been performed by a band. The atmosphere is gloomy and emotive, taking us for a ride into the night as flickering neon reflects off the rain covered streets in a sleazy part of town.
The title track is next, raising the energy levels somewhat with punchy beats and a searing atmosphere. Female singer Iokatsi delivers a brief vocal over the breakdown before the track continues with its melancholy yet heartfelt narrative.
‘The Touch’ follows, taking us further into realms of synth heaven. The main riff is gnarly, with electro-fied beats and a simple yet catchy rhythm. Echonomist adds a perfectly placed synth way up high to complement the low end, creating uplifting moments that juxtapose the gruff bassline.
Finally Ditian’s ‘Snake’ remix of ‘Modern Wonder’ closes the EP. This a deep, dubby rework with heavy emphasis on the bass to begin with. Ditian takes the main vocal and chops it into pieces, using “You’re trapped” to increase the tense, chilling atmosphere. Detuned piano keys add to themacabre feeling as Ditian rolls out a nasty, haunting rework.

Los Angeles-based disco maven LUXXURY’s new KCRW/Morning Becomes Eclectic-supported release is another minimally vocalized near-instrumental from the forthcoming  “Moody” EP. Think Khruangbin meets Tory Y Moi and The Bee Gees and you’ve got the slow and lo-fi disco dream called “Our Love is Real.” 

Regarding the minimal use of lyrics for this tune, LUXXURY says “I’ve never used the word ‘love’ in a song before, as it always feels cheesy. But when I wrote that four note melody line I immediately heard the simple phrase “our love is real” in my head, so I decided to go all in and make that the only lyric as well as the title. In for a penny, in for a pound.” The vocal’s minimalism and repetition means the voice is simply another instrument in the composition, rather than the centerpiece, which adds to the hypnotic feeling of the groove.

This hazy west coast funk odyssey with nods to Washed Out, Goldroom, Toro Y Moi and The Bee Gees is a chillwave nu disco classic in the making, all dusty beats dreamy synths and a minimal falsetto vocal about emotions just out of reach.
