François Rengère – 11 Months (The Mixtape)
[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/175410347″ params=”color=ff4200&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”550″ height=”100″ iframe=”true” /]
Incredible mix by Parquet artist François Rengère featuring all his own gorgeous, complexly melodic productions. “Equlilibre,” is an absolute bomb of a track; opener “Something About You,” is a gorgeously harmony of airy pads and rich bells; “Greed,” is somber and synth-heavy; and “Clouds,” is lovely and just a tad dark, to name a few of the selections.

Another amazing mix by François Rengère, melodic tunes, some with a much more dark cast. Includes his new absolute fire remix of Mâhfoud – The Giant, as well as David August “Set Me On,” Gardens of God “Gluk,” Oliver Schories & Joris Delacroix – Palm Tree Memories (N’to Remix), and other really incredible tuns I haven’t heard yet.

I love, love, love the unique sound of Krink, and he’s one of those guys that plays only his own productions in his sets. Includes “Money Jar” (I call it the dragon song), and absolute brooding fire “A Passenger.”
