Rakoon
, a free spirit from the French electro-dub scene, known for his heavy weighted basslines in concert, comes back this year with his new album
Something Precious
. Since his first hit "Healing Dub" viewed more than ten-million times on YouTube, the producer has pursued his quest for an ever more hybrid and unique sound, combining synths and samples from travels, within pop structures with electronic features.
Something Precious
is a true synthesis of the eagerness of his first works and the power of his previous album, and confirms an even more electronic turn in the artist's career. It's a bundle of energy carried by bewitching melodies; the travel journal of an enthusiastic musician, strewn with samples collected on the road. "The musical guideline of this album first came one day when I got out of my studio after working on a track, feeling some kind of ecstasy that I hadn't felt for years. Something that I used to feel almost every time I made music back when it wasn't my job, but that had changed afterwards. It was like finding something really precious you thought you had lost forever..." says Rakoon about the genesis of this new album. Whether it be with the intoxicating sample of "Hoi An" brought back from a trip to Vietnam or the galvanizing synths of "Chapters", a hit cut for the dancefloor, Rakoon treats his early fans to new gems true to his carefully refined recipe. But he also doesn't hesitate to venture into more electronic territories, like on the devastating "The Great Big Elephant", with its catchy sample and its synth's nods to trance. Or even to surprise, with the use of vocoder on "Rituals" for instance.
Something Precious
is the result of a significant sound research and an in-depth work on emotions. Its magnificent cover is signed by the English illustrator
Miles Tewson
, and it can be listened to like a diary that Rakoon shares with generosity and dedication with those who follow him, on and off the stage. "Apple Jam" features
Eole
.
