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?
This week, the Deer Du Bois playlist puts the POW back in power-pop with dashing new music and melodic realness!
Honey-sweet but with a confident edge is the new trend thanks to Ralph and “Busy Man“, but also Dominique with “If I Could Go Back” and Vessels ft. Anna Of The North and their track “Had A Love”.

Newcomer Tepu is also bringing a fresh touch by showing his “darkside!”

That’s the spirit!
