Here are few pictures of the locations where we shooted the music video for my new single "Human Motion". 

In the last weeks of December I was working – along with Vincent Licata – on our remix for Mike Kharlan – Balearic People. The starting was a bit difficult, time for us to find the right workflow...

Vincent started the first draft on which I added my own changes, finally after a bit of experiment, the track went back and forth and so on until the final version… I have to say this collaboration was really interesting as it made me try new things, and experiment with new softwares/plugins!

If you want to hear the final result, our remix is now out on the label Beyond Recordings – as a part of the “Gold Remixes Vol 1” compilation. You check the links below for purchase and audio streaming.

Beatport: (temporarily down)

It’s quite rare when a song gets you hooked that you just can’t stop listening to it, especially in those recent years – when we are constantly served with “empty” and soulless tracks (however polished and engineered to perfection).

Difficult to find that “raw gem”, that particular track which will stand out from the rest – and make you feel something inside…

Well I did find one! Yesterday I was talking to my long-time friend Gilles Munten and was checking his tracks on Soundcloud; it’s how I discovered “Late December” from his project “Not For Sale” – and I have been (literally) raping the play button since then!

This track is all I like; it has this really “authentic” feeling - melancholic, simple and emotional. I wouldn't know exactly what genre it belongs to (some sort of melodic techno-electro) but it doesn’t really matter, this track is taking me somewhere.

The only negative point is the length, 2 minutes and 42 seconds is really TOO SHORT for such an awesome track... I would really see myself tripping on a longer version of this...

Not For Sale - Late December by Not For Sale

You probably already know Swedish artist Cryonik from his “Soulcure[d]” EP on Frozenforce. Released in 2009, the EP contained the two originals “Soulcure[d]” and “Let’s Go Zero” and my remix of “Soulcure[d]”.

Now, after two and a half years Cryonik finally comes back with two massive tracks “Promisestorm” and “Always Temporary” – a dark and icy blend of electronica / industrial in which we can definitely recognize his very own style signature.

Although similar to his previous tracks, “Promisestorm” and “Always Temporary” shows a very clear shift in his composition style; a simple beat which leaves room for more omnipresent melody and vocals. The overall result is something more catchy and melodious, while keeping that “coldness” and darkness Cryonik is known for…

If you are into dark electronic / industrial I highly recommend you check those two songs (youtube links below) – and as such all of his earlier work is equally worth listening to – I yet have to find a Cryonik song that I don’t like!
