Usually I click on tracks that my favorite producers/artists/djs post on facebook/twitter and usually 75% of the time they're really good, 50% good enough for me to use in my dj sets, 25% so good that I'm tempted to hoard the track for my own personal enjoyment. The track below fits in the top 25% of songs that I find. I was really really really tempted to keep this a secret, but I reminded myself of when I 'discovered' James Blake's CMYK through one of Diplo's post a while ago. I couldn't contain the excitement and I had to share it with any/every one. The track below is one of those. So sexxxi. So groovy. So I had to share it.

Jacques Greene - Concealer [EP Review]

Purchase vinyl @ Redeye Records

Purchase digital @ Bleep

So, while looking around for vinyls to pick up on Redeye, I came across this release and I took a few listens, and in fact, as I'm writing this, I'm still listening to the preview over and over again.

Jacques Greene is a 21-year-old bass music producer from Montreal. Basically, he's my age, which I find crazy in some way; regardless, the quality and composition of his music is way beyond his age, making music that can reach out to a very broad audience, whether it's dubstep or R&B.

I seriously love the way vocals are used in his tracks for this EP. "Flatline," featuring Ango, reminds me in a way of how The Weeknd's tracks just have those dark, but sexy vocals over an analog sounding R&B back beat. Listening to "Clark," the vocal samples definitely remind me of the warm yet dark tracks by Burial. Overall, the EP has a bangin' analog feel to it that'll get you groovin' and/or chillin' (at the same time even, if that's what you prefer).
