The True Business Of People Should Be To Think About Whatever It Is They Were Thinking About Before Somebody Told Them They Had To Earn A Living -  is the full title here.... Soundcloud now limits title characters? SMH...

Vocals come from the incredibly inspiring human known as Jose Mujica and are roughly coming from this quote and then some:

"When you buy something, you are not paying for it with money. You’re paying with the hours of life you had to spend earning that money. The difference is that life is one thing money can’t buy.” 
- Jose Mujica

Production took a min and this is def just a rough mix, but it features lush kalimba's once described as the feeling of when drops of water crash into water over beats featuring my keys, random cymbals and whatever was laying around chopped up with Guarani and Mujica sprinkled on top.

Made using Ableton Live 11's magical UI.

Thanks for listening!

The True Business Of People

It's a rainy mid-summer morning in La Rochelle, France. I finally got around to setting up the gear and had a go at recording a choose-as-you-go mix of some favorite tunes for your listening pleasure. Mellow out and enjoy! 

   01. International Pony - Gravity
The amazing sensation of being fully submerged in sound is an international pony signature experience. This track exemplifies quality sound design, original song structure and the quirky freedom the german trio always creates with. A masterpiece! 

       02. Gilligan Moss - Movement
There's something about the sweet melancholy trapped in this track. The beat pushes forward as the ethereal vocals elevate you into that daydreaming state, as always with Moss the down pitched vocals deliver depth and intensity to a beautiful beat that has joined me in plenty a road-trip and always serves as a backdrop to a new imaginary film.  

    03. International Pony - Pony the Funk
They got the funk 2.0 perfected in a masterclass of a track! 

        04. DJ Koze feat. Caribou - Track ID anyone?
DJ Koze seems to live on a permanent trip and takes us with him every time you tune in to something he put out, add Canada's Caribou into the mix and you got a standout banger laced with subtle beauty. Never taking anything too seriously the infamous youtube comment ''track ID anyone?'' serves as the perfect title for a track that comes at us in the most nonchalant manner ever. 

    05. Tyde - You Again
One of those magic majestic casual finds that I just held on to over the years. 

 06. Sébastien Tellier - La Ritournelle (Gilligan Moss Mix)
Had to honor the late Philippe Zdar, the great french producing hero might have given us his very best with his engineering on Sebastian tellers infamous track - La Ritournelle. Widely considered so it is understandable why Moss got his fair share of backlash for this remix, experiencing the full blow of cult followers rage in a ''don't fix it if it's not broken'' type deal. However, a remix when done right is an artists reinterpretation and Gilligan delivers a fantastic uplifting version with one of the dopest track intros you've heard in a while.

      07. International Pony - Solid Gold (The lost Version)
This treasure of a track has brought me so much peace and joy for years I figured it's time to share it with you. Guitar mix is superb and the repetition of it all delivers a trance-like experience. The vocals on this track are top-notch and always with International, the devil, and God are in the details. 

     08. Theo_bass - Slovenia Police
Theo comes out of nowhere with the most fun percussion lines trapped in a unique DIY production aesthetic you've ever heard. Been loving and playing it out for years. 

     09. Jai Paul - BTSTU (original mix)
You already know about Jai Paul, and if you don't get to googling... the underground classic that kept us begging for more for like 10 years until the album finally came out... I'm still stuck on BTSTU tho... 

  10. BAIRD - The Library Of Babel
There's too much to say about this last tune, but I like the way it was put on high cloud's music junkie's holy bible:
 ''We don’t know anything about Baird but we think that the title of his new song, which is apparently a debut, is maybe enough to dig some info. First, the singer-songwriter and producer mentions a library and while going through the 8 minutes of his track, you can indeed hear the multiplication of music influences. Aptly tagged as “collage” on Soundcloud, the track sounds like a grand patchwork. Folk, electronica, techno, minimal, indie pop… It’s a waterfall of snippets which cut and paste altogether shape something celestial.''

 11. Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski on Empathy (Sound bite)
