Kompakt are still harvesting the fruits of those past days in seclusion, the cabin fever induced creative outbursts, ideas that would probably have never surfaced without these enforced trips to our inner minds. Lockdown transcendence. "Don't Cry" by Italo-Brazilian DJ producer
Stephan Barnem
and
Futuristant
is another impressive testament of those days. Secluded in Stephan's studio in Northern Italy, the duo subconsciously conjured the spirits of one of their mutual favorite bands,
Depeche Mode
and created a fierce, boombappy neo new wave smasher contrived to send rays of hope into the darkest corners of this mad world. Kompakt had to add a gratuitous beatless version to the EP that amplifies the cinematic depth and healing potency of this song. If "Don't Cry" echoes the dark brooding euphoria of Depeche Mode's
Music For The Masses
era, the flipside cut "Elysium" harks back to the synthwave happy days of their debut
Speak & Spell
. It's a wonderfully careless track that's bringing a dearly needed breeze of fresh air to today's discerning dancefloors. Boys don't cry. Save your tears for another day.
