Tame Impala
at Parque de Quetzalcóatl, Mexico, for Cercle
You've got to love the indie kids who discovered 4/4 beats yesterday, trying to shazam unreleased edits while sitting inside a giant architectural snake sculpture. They're all dressed in vintage corduroy, pretending they aren't completely baffled by a DJ set that doesn't have a guitar solo. Still, the psychedelic architectural madness at Parque de Quetzalcóatl, Mexico, for Cercle is a genuinely mind-bending setting.
Peeking at the Tame Impala Parque de Quetzalcóatl, Mexico, for Cercle tracklist for this Tame Impala live set shows a surprisingly robust Rominimal and progressive journey. Kevin Parker keeps the tempo bubbling at an average of 129.0 BPM, utilizing the 12A and 8B keys to craft a beautifully trippy energy arc. His mixing style is wonderfully eclectic, blending organic textures with driving electronic rhythms.
Crate diggers will be properly impressed by the deep cuts here, picking out underground gems like "Earth Trax - Dream Pop" alongside the legendary trance-leaning "Humate - Love Stimulation". The musical arc is a proper trip. It kicks off with a dramatic flair via the opening track "ROSALÍA - QUE NO SALGA LA LUNA (Cap.2: Boda)", reaches a psychedelic peak, and winds down beautifully with the glitchy closing track "Benfay - Engage".
