Down the rabbit hole again. Today's post was supposed to be a selection of Yuksek tracks and remixes from my collection, mostly from the late 2000's.
Whilst doing a bit of research, I discovered that he released an album, Nosso Ritmo, in February 2020. It completely passed me by in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown shortly after, but is on my list for a digital purchase this Bandcamp Friday. Second track in features a collaboration with Confidence Man, who appeared on this blog in their own right on Monday. Aptly titled Gorgeous, there's an even better Extended Disco Version amongst a slew of remixes on the 5-track 12" that was released in Australia in August 2020.
Taking a left turn from there, I also discovered a couple more Yuksek remixes from earlier this year, including Nathalie Duchene, a fellow French DJ and producer, who dropped the Praia EP in March on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
A couple of weeks ago, Yuksek's remix of Adama by Omri Smadar appeared on his Phase Of Motion EP. I think this one may only be available digitally but is well worth a listen. I'm also quite partial to the original mix.
All of these (with the current exception of Phase Of Motion) are available on shiny black plastic or digital formats. You can find lots of cheaper alternatives to Bandcamp, e.g. Juno, Boomkat, but it is Bandcamp Friday today so whilst you may pay more, a larger chunk goes directly to the artist.
As an added incentive, you can buy the Nathalie Duchene/Yusek remix of Praia as part of Toy Tonics' Support Ukraine compilation, a 13-track name your price album that's worth your time and money.
Back to the originally planned Yuksek post tomorrow...
