The frenetic world of electronic music is full of distractions and diversions, hindering the ability to find transcendent music. Let Oggie James be your guru and lead down the path to musical Enlightenment.
Album, song and event reviews, mixtapes, and radio shows, light the way to Enlightenment, conveyed by Oggie James.
Earlier this week Jacques Greene broke his "radio silence" to share some of the material he's been collecting in the year since Feel Infinitecame out. Fittingly said silence was broken on the radio, NTS to be precise. The 11 part tracklist plays host to 9 demos (his and others) along with two of his more recent releases "Nordschleife" and "Song For You." As any Jacques Greene fan should expect, the nearly 50 minute mix is indescribable genius, weaving warm and cool breezes together in a sensational storm of synth swells and palpitative percussion. His treatment of vocals (full or chopped) is always inspired, blending brilliantly with the bed while still standing strong in its own right.
But perhaps the coolest thing about this set is the visual component, rife with easter eggs. The video below shows Jacques' reflection on the screen as he navigates through art of all kinds. Conceivably you could spend hours retracing his steps, digging into the the music/fashion/anime/etc showcased - perfect for a weekend rabbit hole. Get lost with the music/video, and follow Jacques' socials below.
