Rob Day guides you through a little bit of the Parsian Music scene in this stunning compliation<\/em><\/p>\n As we enter into a new decade, French- Japanese clothing and music label Kitsun\u00e9\u00a0has released the sixth instalment of their \u2018Kitsun\u00e9 Parisien\u2019 compilation series. Featuring a diverse plethora of the latest French talent, this 15 track compilation provides a tantalising glimpse into the landscape of the country\u2019s popular music, with a meticulously curated selection of up and coming artists that are really worth keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n Featuring past releases from the likes of Daft Punk, Hot Chip, Bloc Party, La Roux and Two Door Cinema Club, Kitsun\u00e9 Musique has always been historically diverse, and is no stranger to contrast. \u2018Kitsun\u00e9\u2019, the Japanese word for \u2018fox\u2019, refers to the Japanese belief that the fox has the power to change its face and appearance, and this characteristic is more than adequately reflected by the multifaceted nature of the brand, and, more specifically, the compilation itself.<\/p>\n From the velvet voice of Parisien vocalist Ehla to the psychedelic swirls of SuperParka\u2019s kaleidoscopic instrumentals, the track list never disappoints. What is immediately impressive upon a first listen is the sense of balance; unlike a lot of compilations, no track seems out of place or lagging behind, and although the tone of the selection navigates through a variety of genres from synth pop to deep house, there is a satisfying sense of consistency in both quality and energy. The compilation features unreleased material from five artists: the dreamy soundscapes of Courrier Sud, the ethereal vocalist Joanna, duo Pas Sages, the rallying chorus\u2019 of HATT, and the summery sensations of Premi\u00e8re Fois.<\/p>\n
