Notes
I was at a bit of a loss trying to start this week’s playlist because I didn’t really have anything to go on from. The start of last week felt a little musically uninspiring, though that shifted slightly after I decided to re-listen to Yussef Dayes’s 2023 album, Black Classical Music. Music in this vein caught my attention, and we have some smatterings of jazz, funk, and soul for this first half of the playlist.
Then, I wanted to remind myself of the Marathon trailer that dropped about three months ago. [Hyperlink to YouTube video of Marathon Trailer]
I remember being quite awestruck by the creative direction of the game trailer and overall product branding, and the music from the trailer always stood out to me for being both futuristic as well as biologically uneasy. So that’s where Justice comes in because the music from the trailer is from Heavy Metal x DVNO, from Justice*’s 2018 remix album, Woman Worldwide.
These next few selections are absolute bangers, and a good reminder of how amazing Justice are as producers of electronic music by being able to create an irreplaceable energy that runs through some of their best music. Waters of Nazareth x We Are Your Friends x Phantom 2 is a great example of this, that bassline has always been one of their most memorable to me, and somehow this remix is even more intense than the original.
