This week, let’s get hazy and dreamy with the new Deer Du Bois playlist!

Faded out looks while drifting away on lush tracks by Akurei and his “Hinterland”.

Rising newcomer Haux combines his angelic voice with his echoing prayers for your Touch in his perfect alt-love-ballad. Dive into the parallel universe of Perera Elsewhere‘s trip-hop on her newest track “Happened”.

Power pop with the most intense vocals of the moment on Sophia Kennedy‘s “Build Me A House”, which has a jazzy Planningtorock feel to it. And to send you off dancing we’ve got Mr. Trevor Jackson‘s take on “Old Skool” by our sweethearts at Metronomy!

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]E[/su_dropcap]very Wednesday on HighClouds, from now until death do us part, we publish the picky playlists of our Brussels’ friend and collaborator Deer Du Bois. He has been demonstrating a real talent in highlighting emerging and talented acts and imposes himself as a real talent-spotter. Every week, his playlist is a sharp and buzzing selection of new discoveries in indie and pop music. And lucky you: we are now your fresh and fun place to weekly seat and savor his delightful “indie.tronic.dream.pop.chill.wave” cocktail. So, do you mind a cup?

This Week, the Deer Du Bois playlist features levitation and electro-chocks!

Levitation and electro-chocks will be pulsing back and forth this week when we plug into the avant-glitch of Mai Lan with “Technique” and Bec Sandrige‘s “You’re a fucking Joke”.

Boil those noodles and eat them with “New Friends” by the Swedish RABBII if you think your regular ones are too “Old Skool” like Metronomy in the Fatima Yamaha remix.

Get to know each other better by touching “Palms” with Rationale or with lifting you up to spiritual heights on Aussie heartthrob Oscar Key Sung‘s “Hands”.

For those softer moments, when the beat goes down and people can finally start to talk to each other we added the darling Liyv and her utmost happy “Little Fox” and LAFAWANDAH with her Ace of Base cover of “All That She Wants”. Oh, and there is some Rihanna too, and she’s ready to kiss you!

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]L[/su_dropcap]ove Ssega, that you might probably know via the dance collective Clean Bandit and who just released his new track “Hypnotise“, offered us an exclusive playlist of his favorite tracks and this is full of gems! Discover what he picked up below!

1) Cassius – Action

They’re back. I would love to work with Philippe Zdar. Mike D’s vocals are on point too. Read our article about the track here.

2) Chaka Demus and Pliers – Tease Me

Feel good music. This reminds me of the vibrant West Indian community in London.

[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixZjoc_jlmQ”]

3) Friendly Fires – Paris

So… the drummer in my live band is Friendly Fires’ Jack Savidge. He can play any beat, and I mean any beat, so super excited some very high energy live shows.

[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tw-E-JOTgE”]

4) Metronomy – Love Letters

Another sneaky revelation… I’ve been fortunate to have a bit of help from Olugbenga Adelekan from Metronomy on my record – the bassline wizard. I’ll leave you to imagine the results of that, but for now, enjoy him killing it in their Michael Gondry-produced video.

[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riEBi8BJ9Tw”]

5) Franco – Mario

If you have family from East Africa, who love music, then their parents will own multiple Franco records.

[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNjQASc0SD8″]

6) The Very Best – Kamphopo

Percussive beats and melodies. Music can bring positivity out in people across the world.

[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTpX1NpDSBw”]

7) Solange – Losing you

Dev Hynes is amazing, Solange is amazing and this tune was so fresh when it came out. Even now.

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy9W_mrY_Vk” width=”640″ height=”360″]

8) Bibi Bourelly – Sally

She can sing, she can write and has come with her own sound, in an age where everyone copies a trend.

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMSWvq7dsEE” width=”640″ height=”360″]

9) M.I.A. – Galang

M.I.A. is another London superstar. She was on a label (XL Recordings) with Dizee Rascal and Radiohead to the time, and still managed to stand out. Did her thing.

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCL1RpgYxRM” width=”640″ height=”360″]

10) Mr Fingers – Mystery of Love

Kanye’s “The Life of Pablo” is incredible. Anyone who’s heard it, should recognise this nod to Chicago great and dance pioneer Mr Larry Heard on “Fade”.

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFdMJCvDjDQ” width=”640″ height=”360″]

You can hear to the full playlist he made on our Spotify page or below. We also added 2 tracks from his “Minds EP” and the FORMATION’s remix of “Pray For Love”.
