Hailing New Genre Alert: for those unfamiliar with the term “Night Bus”, in regards to music, it is meant to qualify that which would make the perfect soundtrack to watch the world flash by your eyes whilst taking the Night Bus. Hazy moog synths, vocals washed out heavily in reverb, general dope melancholia. Montreal producer CFCF knows what’s up, as he dropped the original mix coining the term this summer and now returns with the followup, the apply named NIGHT BUS II mixtape. Arguably ridiculous sub-genres aside, the stuff is some beautiful shite — everyone from Vangelis, Eurythmics and Fever Ray to counter-intuitive blendings of artists like ASAP Rocky with Oneohtrix Point Never, Underworld with Meek Mill and, perhaps most gorgeously, Autechre with Alicia Keys. Truly some stunning music. Get your weekend off on the right step, this deserves not only the stream but the download treatment…
