Chad Valley Shell Suite (Cashmere Cat Remix)

I've been reminiscing over a few brilliant tracks we've featured on Indie Shuffle after Daft Punk decided to dismiss the current state of electronic. As a music hunter, I witness a constant evolution. There are artists who imitate the trademarks of another (a part of the learning curve), but there are always those striving to create a unique identity.

To me, Cashmere Cat's "Mirror Maru" sounds more defiant then Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." I know it's irrelevant to compare the two, and therefore unnecessary for the latter to assume the throne. I'd listen to many artists "for pleasure" over Daft Punk or Skrillex. That's not to disrespect their pivotal role in the electronic genre (I was the one, after all, who shared this amazing cover of "Something About Us"); it's more to point out that their music is not for everyone, and music should be for everyone. Even if they were referencing mainstream EDM, they could inspire through sound alone and draw ears to lesser known gems (from the present), rather then inflate the attention they're predisposed to receiving.

With that said, I'm sharing the first track ever posted by Cashmere Cat "” his remix of Chad Valley's "Shell Suite." After hearing it and his latest remix "Do You...," I think it's safe to say he's one to watch. Follow the producer on SoundCloud or Facebook to show your support, and for more envelope-pushing electronic check out this playlist.
