d-a-m-o Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 from RA : Isolee is releasing his first album in 12 years. Out on May 19th, resort island explores the morality of escapism and the tension between beauty and superficiality. It'll be released through the Hamburg-based artist's new label of the same name. "In my early years, I was listening to lots of records and going out clubbing a lot," Isolée said. "I had a clear reference for what I was contributing to. Nowadays this is less the case. Also, for many years I felt I was competing with the expectations set by my early records. I don't feel that anymore. But I still have the dance floor in mind as a place where music happens, with the aim of triggering people's emotions and imagination." resort island follows 2011's Well Spent Youth LP. In the years since, the micro house luminary has released a handful of EPs on labels such as Pampa and Tamed Musiq. Watch the video for "rumour." Tracklist 01. coco's visa 02. canada balsam 03.

Hi Guys Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I remember stumbling upon We Are Monster and being totally obsessed with about half of the album around the time it came out. I just revisited it not too long ago and it’s fantastic stuff. I never really could get into anything else he’s done before or since that album. He’s cool though. I hope it’s a great album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing here ! Discovered him with We Are Monster in 2005 and it's a great album. First album is really nice too, Sean played this track during one of his covid mix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, when you've stuck this banger out in '98 it'd be near impossible to live up to expectations 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, good comparison, Boratto and Isolée are both fans of electro pop and from the same "minimal house" sub genre, Isolée is a bit wonkyer with his productions tho' Edited March 18, 2023 by d-a-m-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enthusiast Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I love Isolée. I've been listening to Rest for the first time in years, what an album that was. New stuff from him is a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
