Every 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?
The Deer Du Bois‘ playlist #131: Beauty and the Beast, the bright and the dark.

This mix balances you back and forth from the dark side to the bright one with atmospheric tracks by Üm on the exotic sampled “Simha Arom” and the ground shaking “Tribes” by Beach Season. Mellow away on misty clouds with Erik Jonasson on “Autumn Falls” or with Louise Lemon on “Thirst”.

From there, we can only let the light in with Bonzai and “2B” or with Soulé and “Love No More”.
