Tune of the Day (year?): Max Berlin

Max Berlin: Elle et Moi (Joakim Remix)

I first heard this on a Tim Sweeney/Plastique de Reve ‘Beats in Space’ podcast from NY, and it’s become my favourite tune of last year—by a long shot. The mix of Tangerine Dream/Moroder/Gainsbourg/ influences has me in rapture every time I listen, with warm analogue synths and earthy bo-ho vocal. Old yet new; Pristine electronic soul - I can’t seem to get enough of it.

Remarkably hard to find too... Until eBay comes up trumps I’m making-do with just a version clipped from the DJ mix so I don’t have to forward through to the bit I want to hear. It feels very TDK D-90 circa 1989 doing that ha-ha...

Full mix is here . It's a good show - you should check it out!
