Kitsuné Still Churning Out Those Compilations


Kitsuné Maison 6 is on its way to you very soon, with a release date of the end of this month. However, I managed to get my greedy mittens on a copy and am very much liking what I'm hearing. I wasn't too mad on Kitsuné Maison 5, so I'm delighted to say that with this one the gang have gone for more electro, in a similar vein to 4. Fabulous!

The first track comes from Kitsuné regulars Lo-Fi-Fnk, and is a very enjoyable, almost Cut Copy-ish number (circa Bright Like Neon Love). They've definitely been busy polishing their sound and the results are evident; at the mo this is my favourite track on the album, though this is bound to change at least seven times.

There are quite a few other gems; in particular, the D.I.M. remix of Fischerspooner's Danse En France is a complete floor-filler. BEATZ DETECTED. Etienne De Crecy's addition to the compilation has one of the phattest bass sounds I've heard in a long time (or it could just be my stereo - it seems to like certain bass sounds over others. Right now it's smothering me in bass, like a massive synth blanket. Mmmm...)

The compilation finishes with a track from The Shoes, who I'm liking more and more with every passing day. Keep an eye on 'em, they're gonna be huge...
