Collateral - Desire EP

Collateral is a mixed Parisian trio, polarised between synthetic hints and electric inspirations. Qualified experts in melancholic dance music (majoring in suburbian minimal wave and Italians Do It Better productions), they have remixed artists such as Keren Ann, Arnaud «Blackstrobe» Rebotini, Chad Valley or Tanlines, and recorded a couple of EPs in association with the blazing producer Villeneuve (collaborator of M83, Anoraak, Team Ghost…). First one will be released in April 2012 by desire. Performing live, they can rely on their monomaniac friend Rolande, devoted rhythm machine.

Not surprised to see the connection to Italians Do it Better.  These two tracks have a grand atmospheric feel, something sounding in between IDIB & a Minimal Wave release but more haunting.  Track two picks up the beat more, and almost has that electro dance balad sound of Glass Candy.  Stellar single through and through, and as a bonus there are super limited (25 to be exact) quantities of curated mixtape to accompany it with an exciting track list featuring many more unknown artists than recognized, at least by myself.  Check out the full track list below:
