Sat at 124bpm, Electric Carfé, is placed at the point of intersection between dancing and relaxing, creating the kind of progressive electronic music designed to lose yourself to, emotionally.
With a layered sound, Mflux combines deep, dark bass sounds, melodic synths and piano to create a sophisticated, clean sound. Having worked together with The Bass Rangers, Mflux has partnered with Kiku here, on Electric Carfé.
Kiku elevates the song with a vocal that paints a picture against the scene created by Mflux’s production work. That vocal is used very sparingly — just establishing the song at the beginning, before the instrumentation takes over.
The video depicts a late night drive through a city, shot in time-lapse, as Electric Carfé slowly builds. The video has a kaleidoscopic aesthetic to it, gradually transitioning through a series of visual motifs that create the sense of humanity moving through urban environments. The result is somewhat transcendental — an experience as much as a piece of music.
