try out maxwell’s 1998 sophomore album “embrya”. my personal favorite track is “luxury: cococure”. delicious basslines, smooth + warm vocals and funky, dynamic percussion. very enigmatic and sounds just like the album cover looks. not on this album, but i also highly suggest his beautiful cover of kate bush’s “this woman’s work”. he makes the song very much his own, while still being loyal to the original. his experimentation, creativity and wide array of inspirations make it obvious as to why he’s seen as a pioneer of the genre.

max cooper just put out a new EP yesterday and it’s so good. i might have a preference for him since i met one of my lovers the night we saw his set after she bailed on the DJ she was planning to f***. i mean this guy has a PhD in whatever he does, so listen to it for yourself. his sound is exploratory and full of innovative compositions, but track 2 is classic max.

among his many projects, my two favorites are 1tbsp (edm) and golden vessel (singer songwriter/indie). his prolificness and a majority of his work being collaborations are two of the main reasons he’s such an inspiration to me. he also manages to release music that coincides with whatever life thing im going thru so thats cool

the original track and album are iconic for obvious reasons, but jamie brings a dreamy, ethereal quality to the production and sampling that elevates this track to some kind of angelic transmission from another realm
i met him at a party
he said the sweetest things
i was lonely and naive
i guess that’s why i believed
every word.
