This is James Blake performing at the pitchfork festival in Paris this past November. He is an UK electronic producer, but not like a Teisto fist pumping type of electronic music. Blake is little more chill ambient/soul music. With a couple of his last projects he has turned more into the singer/songwriter but producing all of the music himself. Last with 2013 being his biggest breakthrough year coming out with the awarded album Overgrown & getting a big co-sign from Kanye West being his favorite artist to listen to. He's is now working on new material, but check out he video above to hear him perform his best songs.
He is definitely what you would call a sophisticated creative. Leave a comment let us know your thoughts on James Blake http://youtu.be/o2BVk5tWciI
Very interesting! I love the mix of real instruments and electronic effects in a live setting. I've seen many acts like this, but i like the vibe of this one. A group that turned me on to a live/electronic set was Polaris. It is very sophisticated and i like how you discuss that not all electronic music is a pumping four on the floor fast beat type.
ReplyDeleteYea Jon, dude is a beast. He has a quirky blended of styles and distinctive voice. I gotta check out Polaris.
