Riffs: Gabriel Saint of High Top Kicks

Gabriel Saint of High Top Kicks

on James Blake

“At the moment I’ve been digging on some James Blake. I really enjoy the dynamics and creepy tones he mixes together with classic R&B and singer-songwriter vibes. As an electronic producer and classically trained musician, Blake’s style has a tastefully retro yet futuristic feel to it that keeps me listening. The way he goes from one extreme to the other is inspiring. James Blake will give you some bluesy heartfelt love songs and at the same time hit you with what sounds like something from a spaceship. I love the musical contrasts.”
