Les Sins - Youth Gone
8.5/10

Les Sins is a side-project of Chaz Bundick from South Carolina, USA, better known for his music released under the name Toro y Moi. This track is taken from a two-track single released by Carpark Records in 2010. The style of Les Sins has faster, heavier beats than the chillwave vibe he creates as Toro y Moi, and this song is intended as an intelligent floor-filling club track. A sample of what sounds like a trumpet is sliced and diced into a rapid, rollicking beat, leading to a well-constructed break point at 1:40 which gives way to a shift in the beat pattern and tempo which clearly announces 'this is the time to start dancing'. The track has no lyrics, but the gradual shifts and glitches in the beat patterns make this complex listening for what at first seems like a straight-up electronic dance track.
