FAIRMONT LIVE @ United Nations of DJs, Mexico City, July 17th 2009
Here at WEPLAYMUSIC the music keeps on going from strength to strength! We have another lovely little gem to add to the collection, kindly given to us by none other than Fairmont!
Taking a little break from our WPM ltd series of guest mixes, we’re pleased to bring you something a bit different – a unique live mix of his own tracks by Canada’s Fairmont (aka Jake Fairly).
With his two very respected full length artist albums (“Paper Stars” on Traum in 2002, and “Coloured in Memory” on Border Community in 2007), Fairmont has repeatedly proven that you can blend the romance and subtlety of bedroom electronica with the dancefloor appeal of driving techno.
As if that weren’t enough, Fairmont is also responsible for the massive club hit “Gazebo” – a track which can only be described as a minimal anthem, with its unforgettable melody and blissed out vibe.
Reminiscent of fellow emotive electronica/techno artists Isolée and Nathan Fake, this combination of musicality and rhythm has naturally earned him a cult following over the years, with fans including the Pet Shop Boys (who opened their “Back to Mine” compilation with a Fairmont number), and of course ourselves in WEPLAYMUSIC.
