Wake up babe, Chet Porter just dropped his first real body of work let's gooooo!!!
Listening to this album feels like quitting your soul-sucking corporate job to go travel the world instead. It feels like finally living life the way you want to live, filled with new experiences and seeing what the world has to offer.
Not to mention that the production is absolutely killer.
The sound palette is fun, bright, colorful, magical, playful, curious, and evokes the sense of childlike wonder and euphoria. It's also diverse with moments of house, trap, ambient, indie, prog, etc but it's so cohesive and easy to listen to it all in one sitting. This is such a fun and enjoyable electronic album and it would go so crazy live!!!!! I wanna dance!!!!
Just check if you vibe with the intro track "Wake Up" as it does a great job as an opener introducing you to the sounds and vibe of the album :-)

Once more I can't recommend something without explaining why it's good in my world.
I was introduced to the work of Louis Celestin a.k. a KAYTRANADA about five years ago, following the release of 'BUBBA', and I still remember my first impressions. His music seemed unique and catchy to me, which is why listening to '99.9%' was not put off for later. Since then, I've been among the fans waiting for the DJ's next work.
'TIMELESS' is a worthy addition to the artist's discography. The album sounds like a nighttime beach party attended by all your friends. That's exactly the feel of the album's comfortable, pleasantly cool, and fun atmosphere. It more resembles a colorful dream, and personally, it doesn't fit within the confines of tight clubs. Coupled with numerous guest appearances, Louis' music feels pleasant—it's not straining, but it also doesn't fade into the background.
The album delights with unusual drum parts, for example in songs like 'Pressure' and 'Spit it out', as well as unconventional songs such as 'Dance (x4)', 'Drip Sweat', 'Stepped On', and 'Stuntin''. Each of them has elements that shatter your expectations of a standard house album.
The only thing I would criticize about the album is the cover. Such a gloomy visual would have looked more harmonious on someone like Denzel Curry, rather than the upbeat Louis. Also, I personally missed the bold decisions in terms of arrangements. On '99.9%', there was a song 'VIVID DREAMS', which featured a very atmospheric bridge with a bass synthesizer that worked well in contrast with the rest of the song's groove. Or 'BUS RIDE', which couldn't really be called a dance song. On 'TIMELESS', such decisions are hard to find.
8.5/10

I filed a complaint with a bunch of receipts to my city's rent board last month after my landlord notified me of another increase, and turns out she was in violation of increasing rent within 12 months following a previous rent increase
The city just told my landlord to reimburse me the excess rent, and my current rent must remain in place until next March for her to be in compliance (she wanted to raise it another 10% in October lol)
