Love this guy and his music, sweet combination of understated vocals with a solid intriguing beat. Fans of Miike Snow should take notice.

CRi – Why I Love You ft. Ouri & Odile Myrtil
Wonderful dark atmosphere on this track with it’s deep bassline and dusty rhythms. The vocals are passionately sung with a melancholy flavor that gets me.

Bio:
Canadian electronic music producer CRi is quickly striding forward in exciting directions, bringing a current signature Montreal sound of house synths, syncopated snares and fluid basslines into a new era. Finding success in early 2015 with the beautiful video for “Pearl”, directed by Kristof Brandl, the self-taught composer and DJ began his musical experimentations in 2012, with artists like Floating Points, Mount Kimbie, Lone and Caribou vastly influencing his early sonic adventures and leaving traces on his new work.

Ritza – Shuk
Ladytron beware this track from Ritza is gonna snag a few of your followers as well. It’s a slippery synthpop track that infuses a bit of a punk esthetic into the mix.

Press Release:
Originally formed by Maii Waleed (vocals/keys), Ismail Seleit (keys/synths), Mohamed Mallawany (bass), and Marwan Wahid (drums) in August 2015, Ritza played a number of gigs around Cairo and garnered extensive local attention with their electro/surfpop approach – infused with robotic vocals in Arabic, electronic beats, synth-based disco grooves and driving bass lines.
Waleed brings diverse influences to the table. Having worked with leading Lebanese producer Zeid Hamdan for six years and played numerous gigs in Beirut, Amman, and Cairo, she spent enough time figuring out what sound she wants to produce for herself. Came back to Egypt in 2014, and got together with Seleit and Mallawany to end up with Ritza’s own signature sound of electropop.
Few months later they were joined by guitarist Youssef Abouzeid, who was also part of Waleed’s previous band with Seleit and Mallawany back in 2013, adding melodic guitar lines and noisy ambient textures to realize a fuller sound as a band. Soon enough Hassan Seleit replaced Marwan on drums, and with previous experience with Abouzeid and his brother Ismail in El Manzouma, things added up together pretty naturally with his punchy and teasing drum lines.
Ritza has now written almost an hour of music that ranges from mellow, ambient sounds that demonstrate somber styles; to faster, tighter and more synth-dominated dance tunes.
