Listen: New Madeon track aired by Pete Tong

So, French child prodegy Madeon has released a new track. It’s called “Icarus”, and comes after months of teasing and prodding across the internet, sending Hype Machine into absolute meltdown… And, wow, it is it a doozy.

Following in a very similar - but very good - vein as the rest of his work, the track is however a much more dynamic beast. Mixing calm with rapture, Madeon - who, by the way, is seventeen - manages to craft a soundscape which is both coldly professional and immensely entertaining.

Unfortunately, the track doesn’t officially on Soundcloud so I can’t put in a player - but since other blogs are doing it, here’s a quick link (hosted by blahblahblahscience).
