Sounding a bit like something halfway between a Sega game and an airbrushed mural of Wayfarer'd flamingos, Russ Chimes' tunes may at times elicit some degree of nostalgia, although the inherent quality definitley proves he's more about about doing what feels good rather than the irony. (in a manner perhaps akin to funk fanatics Chromeo).
Mixtape
Russ (a 25 year old producer from London) also heads up the british wing of French west coast retro-futuristic collective Valerie, and blends some seriously catchy 80's synth hooks with some really impressive layering and lush composition, all topped with a groove that can keep you dancing until the sun comes up over the beach front palm trees. Check him out on last fm...
enjoy,
Willdo
