This morning, we dive into a collection curated by our dear guest Nathan Fake. You’ll experience a rich tapestry of sounds that evoke the warmth of the coming spring days and the exploration of otherworldly landscapes. This episode includes tracks that showcase not only artistic brilliance but also personal and soulful evocations.
Nathan Fake’s selection
Chemical Brothers & Hope Sandoval - Asleep from Day
Nathan Fake: ” A perfect breezy summer track, so bright and organic, and Hope Sandoval’s voice sounds so cinematic and beautifully vintage. “
Actress - Hubble
Nathan Fake: ” A lush bubble bath of a track, one of my favorites of Actress’s. I’ve no idea how Actress makes his stuff and that’s one of the many reasons I love it. “
Brothomstates - Mdrmx
Nathan Fake: ” Perfect early 2000s electronica. This track is so hyperreal and twinkly; Lassi Nikko was always quite out on his own with his music, I think. I still listen to all his stuff to this day. “
MailTape’s selection
Nathan Fake - Sunlight on Saturn
ImaCrea: ” Out from his newly released album “Evaporator”, I love how this track makes me enter another dimension. There’s something like a cosmic portal we’re going through and suddenly the space around changes and expands. And with that, gravity changes. Vibration enters every cell for a second and movement is happening. Mouvementement*.
Irini - Sweet Charlotte
ImaCrea: ” For some reason I can’t explain, I’ve become completely obsessed with this track lately. Listening to it on repeat while taking the metro, I find a very interesting and hypnotizing tension between the pulsating jungle-like sound and her intimate, naive talk. “
s8jfou - Thoughts
ImaCrea: ” Back with Dognip+, s8jfou keeps on tracing his pattern in our imaginary prairies. Marvelous landscapes and fairies appear in a dark cavern, hands on the wall as traces of sounds made with stones.
Koi - Sol Oculto
ImaCrea: ” Spirits from the cavern awake with this track by Koi. Bubbling water defying gravity and going upward, forming alien sculptures from another time and space. Maybe we’re on Saturn after all. ”
Thank you for being with us, and thank you Pierre-Julien Fieux for illustrating this episode with this dreamy portrait. Many thanks to Nathan Fake for his inspiring selection, which put us on a fine path toward spring.
