Enrico Sangiuliano Sees a Glitch in Time

From Sexyy Red to Green Day

Also this week:

In “Not Another DJ,” Italian electronic artist Enrico Sangiuliano told us that, “Our genre is now at its peak of popularity, raising from the underground to conquer huge worldwide crowds. The current generation of talents are defining this present era where rules are not clear yet. For many years our genre has been mostly unified and steady around a particular trend of evolution or flavor, while at the moment it’s going literally everywhere. Fast, slow, melodic, stripped, commercial, anti-commercial. A very interesting period! In the pursuit of mass appeal every genre risks weakening its essence, prioritizing cheesy rhythms over experimentation. The challenge lies in treading a path that respects its roots while venturing into uncharted sonic territories.”

In “My Favorite Album,” Fake Dad said, “Fake Dad’s absolute favorite album is Sound & Color by Alabama Shakes. The genre-agnostic project draws from nearly every long-standing iteration of rock and roll and R&B—equally drawing from the likes of Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Erykah Badu, Prince, and The Strokes. While all music is in the context of the time it’s made, Sound & Color feels somehow unmoored from that—a project that, in its arrangement, production, and vocal delivery, feels like it belongs both in the near future and the distant past. in the years since it came out,  it has remained inexplicably timeless, and its title track “Sound & Color,” is just as singular in its beauty and emotive power. When we sit down to work, we strive to make something that so beautifully synthesizes ourselves and our influences into one new thing the way that this project does.”
