Release Notes: Kavinsky™s ˜Odd look™ is one of those songs which will haunt you for a long time after hearing them, one of Kavinsky™s acclaimed ˜Outrun™ highlights for sure. The deep, raw and soulful instrumental brings a cinematic sound which has the power to litterally put you in a virtual movie just listening to music ! And SebastiAn™s vocal part on top is a unique rendering, somewhere between Stevie Wonder and HAL. The Weeknd was invited to sing on the song by Kavinsky himself. As a big fan of his singing skills, the zombie wanted him to give his song the real soul touch that he™d had in mind for ages. His performance reminds of Michael Jackson, a fast and swinging vocal line, extremely addictive ! A-Trak who has been Kavinsky™s pal for years now delivers a banging remix with bass & drums and a beautiful & strange vocal hook. The kind of tune that can be played in a NYC hip hop party, as well as in a techno warehouse in Berlin with the same effect : arms up ! A-Track rules it as always. Midnight Juggernauts have taken the spacey-progressive path for their approach towards ˜Odd Look™. Trancey sounds built around those Scarface-like choirs surround you and bring you back to the early 9O™s chill out era, It™s emotional music, as on their recently released ˜Uncanny Valley™ album. Prince 85 is the newcomer of this selection of X-tra strong producers. His new-hip hop sound fits Kavinsky™s moods perfectly, adding a brilliant re-cut work and some exquisite additional keyboards. Real drinving music, that™s the deal. Surkin has the recipe for producing absolute club anthems, his re-do of Kavinsky™s tune is one more proof of his skills. Sirens, brilliantly produced vocal excerpts and his signature synth sounds alltogether create a happy and hysteric mood that one could imagine create club riots !
