It's here.

It's here.

It's here.

To say that I have been waiting for this day would be an understatement.
Truth is, I've been biding my time since March, when I first heard two excerpts from Monsieur Adi's forthcoming Fire Fire Fire EP, to be released on Technofavrik, September 19th. The title track, Fire Fire Fire, is perhaps the most powerful, well-executed, and exciting French House track I've heard, well, since Daft Punk. I've said it then and I'll say it now : this song is fucking incredible. Those scaling, harmonized guitars. That commanding kick. The gorgeous, cascading string bridge two minutes in. Adi wears his influences on his sleeve but he does it so well that if I were Daft Punk, I would be proud; if not a bit nervous at the unrealized potential of this wunderkind.

This is it, guys. This is the future.

Chariot

French Touch lovers, you might not know it yet, but big things are coming your way. I've regrettably never featured Monsieur Adi on this blog before (hey, there's a first time for everything), but if you are the type who follows the Hype Machine 'Popular' charts, you've undoubtedly stumbled upon his formidable, lush remix work. Now he's set to release his second EP in the upcoming months, and from what I've heard so far--it's going to absolutely blow your mind. Just you wait. In the meantime, Adi is giving a b-side from the EP, the song Chariot, away for free as a little teaser. Here's a bit of drama for your Saturday courtesy of cascading strings, pounding bass, and a beat rife with tension. It's a big song and a big statement: Adi is coming.

Download Chariot below, and if you aren't familiar with his work, head over to his Soundcloud to check out what you've been missing and prepare yourself for the release of what just might be the years best electronic EP. (Yes, I went there.)

Chariot--Monsieur Adi
