Jägerverb – 8 Tracks To Soothe Your Comedown

 
Music

Since his debut EP, UK-born and Berlin based (how many times have written that in the past few years. UK brain drain you say?!) Jägerverb has garnered support from many corners with his psychedelic electronics. Now he returns for his fourth release on Lektroluv. It is called Pomme. We like it a lot. You can hear it below. 

But what comes up, must come down. Here he's selected us '8 tracks to soothe a comedown' – to take the edge off the night before – taking in The Chemical Brothers, Daniel Avery, Qtier, Burial & Four Tet, Simon & Garfunkel, Nils Frahm, Midlake and more.

LISTEN
The Chemical Brothers - Asleep From Day

These guys are true masters and they’ve been a key inspiration for me since I started making music. Their albums always capture the downtempo hangover vibe as well as the intense, peak-time club side. The Rhodes chords in this track are so warm and uplifting.

  • Daniel Avery - Simulrec [Phlp02]

    After spending hours in a club your mind and body are totally locked into the groove of the beat. It’s nice to sustain that foot-tapping rhythm when you get home, but you don’t want anything too brash. This one from the flawless Drone Logic LP is a lullaby with a 4/4 pulse.

  • Qtier - Still

    This song and the B-side ‘Drift’ have become favourites of mine for recovering after a big party. The label Bad Life is probably better known for more banging output, but they’re really on-point with a broad spectrum of more chilled stuff as well.

  • Rodriguez Jr. - Mistral [Systematic Records]

    I love the calm, almost meditative atmosphere of clubs around midmorning, when people have no energy to dance properly but they’re not ready to leave and face the real world. The dance floor moves and morphs as one organism and the music is punchy enough to keep you swaying but smooth enough to soothe bleary heads and tender hearts.

  • Burial & Four Tet - Moth

    I first heard this track after a big night out at Corsica Studios in London. We all lay across my friend’s bedroom floor, staring at the ceiling in a kind of trance. He played it two or three times on repeat before anyone said a word. You never want the moment to end.

  • Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Audio)

    I had a little moment listening to this the other week while strolling through Berlin at night. Flurries of snow whirled about and the streetlights tinted everything gold. Those rich vocal harmonies sound so good when you’re feeling fragile.

  • Nils Frahm - Familiar @ Cross-Linx Festival Amsterdam March 2, 2013

    When you just can’t face another drum beat or bass line then instrumental piano is ideal, for example some of the more gentle and subdued pieces on Nils Frahm’s Spaces album. I went to see him perform live recently and was totally mesmerised. The two Solo Piano works by Chilly Gonzales also make decent hangover cures.

  • Midlake - Roscoe (Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve Remix) (Groove Armada Latenighttales)

    You can play Reanimations Vol. 1 by Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve in so many different environments and it makes total sense. It’s playful and summery at times, deep and sincere at others. It’s full of romance and magic. It’s perfect for the post-club afterglow and it’ll pull you out of the slump the following day.
