Nils Frahm is a unique multitalented artist that I really love. His way of combining beautiful melodies in an electronic context is mind-blowing. Not only is he a superb songwriter and keyboard performer but also a fantastic producer and a great sound engineer.
Here is a tribute mix in 2 parts with some of his amazing work.
Lay back and enjoy the magic sound of a true hero!
Bob James, one of my all-time favourite heroes. I discovered him in the late 80s, when all hip-hop-records was sampling his masterpieces.
Some of the songs is featured with samples in as many as 400 records, so you’ll probably recognise a lot of stuff 😉
Lay back and enjoy the jazzy and funky show!
