On “Melancholic tonic” at Infinitestatemachine
What a cool post!
Interesting, that most of the stuff is rather ancient though (I am not talking about release dates only, but about style). I wonder if all this melancholy is a nostalgia issue?
So, what about contemporary sadness in club music? Just a handful, arbitrarily picked from Zuckermann’s “special melancholy collection”:
-> Above all, The Juan Maclean - My shining skinned friend, for example -> Daypak & Padberg - Black Beauty -> Those ‘Incredibles’, Noze - Bike double U Noze -> Carl Craig - Darkness(!) (Radio Slave remix)Not to speak about ->DJ Hell, when he was still hip? Particularly with this incredible Piaf cliché turned from its head to its feet: She Regrets feat. Billy Ray Martin?
And so, the sadness in “electronic” music continues…
