joakim: daemon

The first release by Parisian iconoclast Joakim on DJ Tennis's Life And Death records is a miniature nocturne for dancefloor meditation, a cascade of unfurling fizzy moods and introspection. "Daemon" is the most Life And Death style track on the EP. It's full of modular synth tweaking and a nod to the '90s Detroit techno epic/melancholic vibes. "Would You Give Up?" started as a very slow "R&B meets techno" groove inspired by the freaky early Micronauts releases. The tempo change in the middle of the track (going from around 85 to 115bpm) is for the more adventurous DJs.
