Infiné, easy music for the hard to please

Happy 2012 to every one! We wish you the best for this new year, some says that will be the last of our life so we have to enjoy as much as we can! ;)

Too late to deliver the traditionnal musical top. That's why we decided to make a different kind of top...

Alexandre // in 2011, many great new music producers as: Sun Lux, Egyptrixx, Balam Acab, The Haxan Cloak, Oneohtrix Point Never, Laurel Halo... but no real great albums. Too many fake things, too many revivals... Except 2, the ones of the duets: Pinch/Shackleton & King Creosote/Jon Hopkins. No doubt, those are future classics! For me this was a year of films production surprises!
