My one beef with trip-hop is that it can get deathly repetitive. I sometimes worry about its future, at least in the creative sense. Luckily, a recent discovery has made me restore faith in this particular genre. Travelling Day is a French, electro trip-hop producer who is making massive shifts within the scene. Travelling Day has established a pretty unique sound. Combining classic downtempo and trip-hop characteristics with contrasting uplifting and uptempo aspects, he creates a wonderful clash of sounds that...
