- The Parisian label gets back to its indie roots on the new guitar-heavy collection.
- Kitsune Music will release their 11th label compilation next month. Though the Parisian imprint is probably best known for club and nu-rave tracks from the likes of Digitalism and The Klaxons, their next release shows a more rock-driven side of their sound. "I find the combination of guitars and electronics is one of the most exciting areas in music today," says label boss Gildas Loaec. "We're perceived as a club label when really we've always been between 'club' and 'indie,' and this new compilation sits right at the crossroad of the two." The collection showcases a batch of new artists, including the cryptically untitled duo behind the opening track, alongside acts like The Magician (AKA Stephen Fasano, formerly of Aeroplane) and Brooklyn duo CREEP, who are joined here by Romy from The xx and remixed by Azari & III. You can grab one of the tracks for free right now Kitsune's website. If you're in London, you catch three of the acts on the compilation (Logo, Is Tropical and Housse De Racket) later this month in at Heaven, where Kitsuné are throwing a party during bank holiday weekend. Tickets to that one are available right here on RA. Tracklist 01. - Let's Go All The Way (early version) 02. Alexander Dexter Jones - Phantastic Phone Call 03. Housse de Racket - Roman 04.
