Norway's
Coucheron has become a favourite of mine after seeing him open for
Chet Porter and
Lemaitre, nearly a year ago. At that time he was gearing up to release "
Loud" and "
Puzzled," and since then has added his unique brand of bouncy future pop funk to
Kehlani's "
Undercover." Today he returns with a brand new original called "
UFO." It took me approximately 15 seconds to be beamed up by the brilliance of the otherworldly awesomeness. Like his previous productions it oozes with a funk appeal, while finding itself firmly in the future. I'm reminded of
Datarock's post punk propensity, which just a touch of
Chromeo/
Oliver-esque disco groove. It's the kind of killer electronic creativity that I crave, and I find so astonishingly absent in the ultra sterile future bass we're getting at the moment. "
UFO" is a nonstop thrill-ride through the stars, and a delightful diversion from the doldrums of meh mainstream music. Climb aboard the spacecraft via
Spotify or
iTunes, and be sure to follow
