Kitsuné Guest Mixtape by Molikasi

French feels with Kitsuné 🌶, dope hip-hop 🔥 and soothing spring beats. 🌸

 

 

Expect some smooth vibes in the latest Kitsuné Hot Stream mix by the French musician and producer Molikasi. Influenced by African and Asian sounds, he works, samples and magnifies his own voice and instrument, to give an impression of coming from faraway places and break the rules of electro pop. We had a little chat with the French artist, you can read it here while you are listening to his excellent mixtape!

 

 

Props to our man @willsn, he’s no half steppin! This hip-hop mixtape is so dope, it really takes an attentive ear to notice where one track ends and another one starts. This selection is a sure shot if you’re into heavy names like Drake, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Future and co. You know the ledge!

 

 

With his latest mixtape, @benjami is doing a thorough exploration in sound with Pacemaker+. Starting off with relaxing bird chirping, getting to some modern classical jams, slowly heading into more psychedelic areas, future jazz making love with instrumental hip-hop and trip-hop. No matter the season, this selection is a blessing with all its creative twists and turns.

 

Stay inspired, keep your mixtapes coming – next week it could be your turn!

How did you get interested in music?

I got interested in music thanks to my cousin who used to play guitar. I wanted to do the same so I first learned some standard guitar songs. Then I came to electronic music and production.

Tell us a bit about the Soundress label.

Soundress is a label working with artists like Dim Sum, Clanch, Candidat, Le goût acide des conservateurs…

How’s life in Paris as a musician? What inspires you the most in the city?

Paris is a really cool place for musicians. You can easily meet people and see the artists live. But sometimes you also needs space and time to get inspired so it’s cool to leave the city for the countryside.

Name 3 artists who inspire you the most when it comes to making music.

Bibio / Mura Masa / Fleet Foxes

Name 3 tracks from this year that made a big impression on you.

Kidswaste “Time”

Whitney “No Woman”

Louis The Child “Love is alive”

 

 

If you could swap bodies with another artist for a weekend, whose skin would you like to sneak in and why?

Thom Yorke… it could be interesting to be in his mind for a weekend

What do you do when you’re not making music?

I’m drawing while thinking of music

What would you do if – for some mysterious reason – there would be no more music from tomorrow on?

I would be drawing the music instruments of my dreams

What are you working on right now?

New tracks that I will release soon.

Please tell us a bit about your Kitsuné Hot Stream mix, how did you pick these tracks?

I wanted to start the mix with a danceable part so I chose Moullinex “Open House” and Allen French “Nova Vida” which both match well with my track “Danse de l’hiver”. Then I chosed to lower the tempo with Young Futura and Saux and to finish with this incredible song “Umbo” by IFE.

How do you like Pacemaker? What are your favourite features?

Pacemaker is a very cool app, I love the idea! I love that it works with Spotify so that you can easily pick tracks in your library.
