Digitalism will release their debut album ‘Idealism’ on the 21st May through Kitsune.
Formed in 2004 by producers Ismail Tuefekci and Jens Moelle aka Palermo Disko Machine, Digitalism have made quite an impact in dance music. Having only released 3 singles prior to the release of this album, the German electro duo are best known for their remixes of Tom Vek, Cut Copy, Tiga and The Klaxons - which have been hammered in the nightclubs around the world by Erol Alkan, 2manydj's, Vitalic and Justice.
Usually the transition from dancefloor to home stereo can be a difficult one, tracks which sound incredible and exciting in the clubs can sound tame in comparison on home stereos and disjointed when collected onto a single record but on ‘Idealism’ - Digitalism have created a pretty solid album. The records feels like a complete record and the transitions from previous singles ‘Zdarlight’, ’Idealistic’ and ’Jupiter Moon’ to the new tracks is seamless.
This record has a good mixture of Daft Punk, The Presets, Soulwax and even, Air without ever trying to imitate. There are a few tracks which sound similar but as a whole, the record has enough highs and twists to remain interesting for the listener at home.
Digitalism have made a record which should cement their place at the top of club line-up’s and probably their place at the top of people’s play lists.
Here are a few tracks from ‘Idealism’
Digitalism - 'I Want, I Want'
Digitalism - 'Pogo'
