Please tell me who he is aping on his Actual Life series because this albums are unlike anything else I know
It’s just a slightly modern spin on the electronic music prevalent in the late 2000s/early 2010s. It’s all over the place.
Four Tet, Caribou, Floating Points, Tourist, Overmono and DJ Seinfeld come to mind for similar stuff. Some of Bonobo's latter work too
I listen to most of them as well, similar sure, but I think what Fred is doing is very much it's own thing with the found sounds, the way he uses conversations, dialogue, etc
Samy Deluxe - who is kinda like Germany’s Jay Z in terms of status/legacy but has retreated into underground rap in the last decade or so - put out an album with Conductor Williams (Griselda producer) today.
Wasn’t really sure where to post this record, but looks like the hip hop thread is the only place El Michels Affair has ever been brought up so here it is. Album is really good
El Michels Affair always delivers. Reckon it could fit in here… Soul, Funk and Motown • forum.chorus.fm
