Zedd, Telos


There’s a battery of different designs and effects on Zedd’s brand new CD, Telosbut on each of the 10 tracks, you can listen to the excellent passion installed in the track, and also the realization of his rising desires. The long-awaited successor to the manufacturer’s 2015 student cd, True colors — which in addition to its launch in 2012 Brightness established him as a wunderkind of the EDM era, with a unique mastery of the style’s pop impulses that spawned a string of Hot 100 hits– Telos discovers the musician that spawned Anton Zaslavski flexing all his musical muscles. The track showcases his classical training and taste in productions that encompass classical, jazz, film maximalism, Middle Eastern looks, and digital event anthems that respond to the EDM principles of Zaslavski’s track but take his sound into a sophisticated, nuanced (but still danceable, yes) territory.

The CD features an all-star collection of collaborators, consisting of Bea Miller, who records both the lead solo “Out of Time” and the catchy, snappy “Tangerine Rays”; John Mayer, who records his laidback cool to charm combination-influenced single “Automatic Yes”; arena rock stars Muse, who provide sonic grandeur to the album-closing, spiritual “Epos”; and also Jeff Buckley, who reinterprets Zaslavski’s punch and elegance on his variation of the late musician’s 1994 “Dream Brother,” which leans into Radiohead territory without being reductive and hits hard with its string-drenched descents. All in all, Telos simply doesn’t seem like anything else that has emerged in the digital world in recent times, or perhaps in the past.

But the musician clarifies the supporting concepts best here, with Zaslavski stating that the Greek word “telos” has several definitions, including “achievement” or “completion of human art. I’ve always dreamed of making an album that, 30 years from now, I can look back on and be incredibly proud of. That will be just as great then as it is now, because it’s not based on trends or sound design that might fail — it’s based on music, just like the albums that shaped me growing up and that I still adore to this day. With TelosI created something I didn’t think I could do – it just took some time to get there.”

Zedd quickly took the CD into a real-time style with a fall tour of North America, featuring shows at LA State Historic Park, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Tycho, Infinite health


Few producers include the spiritual, sun-drenched psychedelia of No rCal, besides Tycho, who takes us back to the coast and straight to the redwoods with his 7th workshop CD.Infinite health The work is timeless, Tycho, delivering songs that are clean yet exciting and innovative, yet still get the blood pumping. He records simultaneously lightening and mournful songs, often with hazy, lo-fi IDM with thematic abundance.

“’Green’ and ‘Devices’ represent the conceptual bookends of the…album,” says musician Scott Hansen writes “’Green’ is an elegy to my childhood home, a once rural town on the outskirts of Sacramento where I spent my youth and forged a deep connection to nature. ‘Devices’ represents the struggle to stay connected to nature and our own humanity in the modern world. I wanted to illustrate this tension with a set of sonically contrasting songs.” The CD is released on Mom + Pop Records in the US and Ninja Tune worldwide, and the 27-date Infinite health The scenic journey will certainly take Hansen across North America during this time of loss.

Swedish House Mafia & Alicia Keys, “Finally”


Having incorporated their rework of Kings of Tomorrow Timeless into their collections for several years now, it remains that Swedish House Mafia have now completely overhauled the 2001 house anthem, with none other than Alicia Keys on vocals and the original’s brilliantly thumping bassline, hi-hat and cozy keyboards swapped for a much bigger and more direct vortex of strings.(* ),” the track expands on the XXL house vibe of their 2022 CD The , building on that CD’s passion to focus more on the style that so influenced the trinity that they even named themselves after it.(* ),”Paradise again component ii – palace/illusion(* )”(* )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3E_hG5c5QI

Caribou for a cameo in “Come Find Me”

(Himself at the end.)

Another track itself is a cosy, delicately developing IDM – simply put, timeless Caribou – and comes from the musician’s 6th workshop CD, The, comingCanadian 4 on “Come Find Me”,.

Andy is one of the defining voices of the style and Becky Hill C is one of the designers. The result is a very effective conference of the minds, with “Indestructable”.
