Berou is a man of very little detail, and even fewer lines of literature on the internet, and i'm stuck wondering why. Whether he's mixing on his own, or with his buddy Canblaster, Berou has a touch of something else about his work. Take for instance his Crystal Fighters remix, possibly his best work, even as part of a duo, its still outstanding. It's by no means a club classic, but its something special. Remixing was never labelled as one of the easier things to do, but remixing a great tune (which At Home is, heres a link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2MxcUo4J9I) and keeping it pretty darn awesome? Something else. Berou obviously has many more tunes to his name, but for me, At Home is a standout. Its eery tones maybe arent bonafide club classic rhythms, but its special, it turns the song on its head, giving an otherwise light hearted and cheery tune, a more haunting tone. However, I could go on all day about about all the beats and tones and whatnot Berou throws into his quality tunes (http://soundcloud.com/berou), but every now and again, one artist in one song can come up with something inspired, and in this case, its the crazy, yet brilliant idea, to add the water droplet sound into the mix. It may sound silly, it may sound like it shouldnt work, but by god it does. It's pretty hard to describe really, its just genius. So, on basis of this, I urge you all to enjoy the music of Berou, and am glad to make his At Home (Crystal Fighters remix with Canblaster) my first "tune of the week", despite the fact its been going for some months now.
Enjoy!
