Tensnake ‎– Coma Cat

Tensnake brings the joy once again...
"Coma Cat" sees the very gifted Tensnake use a melody and bassline ripped from Anthony & The Camp's 1986-Jellybean-produced "What I Like" to veer towards "modernized" early Chicago and Italian piano-house territories with his typical savoir-vivre that make him modestly adjust his awesome production skills in benefit of pure feelgood, shiny, colourful dance music.
The climax is a pure moment of bliss, combining the old (spirit, melodic touch) with the new (production dynamics and voice cut-up techniques) and is so marvellous and generous that you feel teleported in a fantisized open-air party in Ibiza circa '87 with DJ Alfredo at the decks and wigged-out, happy mutant creatures all around.
In a recent interview, Tensnake emphasized on being above all a "pop" artist and indeed one can say that, even sampled, his hooks show a proper, high level pop music sensitivity in an open-minded acceptation of the word.
I would say that Tensnake is a mellower, more feminine, subtle and relaxed response to other german wonder Boys Noize, who in his best remixes (Feist, Sebastien Tellier, Gonzales) has also the golden touch for impossibly catchy, dramatic, joyful "pop" hooks.
Dance music needs more Tensnakes!
