As we all know The Weeknd has been really been taking over the past year and has made girls panties slide off long enough in the bedroom (check out his two mix tapes out now "Thursday" and "House of Balloons". His voice has a quality that doesn't just float into your cerebellum, but more melts it's way into your mind. Now Chi Duly has done something that most of us that follow electronic music have wanted for some time, to use his voice and add a more electric beats. He takes his voice and adds beats that make this much more club friendly. Duly takes the songs and adds house beats to make this not only melt woman's hearts, but also dance floors around the country. I personally like the song D.D. as it is a faster more up paced house beat, but for a slower beat that really accentuates his voice check out the bonus track "The Party"
According to Chi Duly, "Balloons of Haus in house music for the "I'm not really into techo" folks. It's uptempo but more to the point (free of those minute long intros/breakdowns of arbitrary ambience). The concept was born of my interest in bringing The Weeknd's vibe to a DJ set.
Chi Duly does this almost spot on. These songs get right to the point and get your feet and hips moving before you even know it. It may be for the I'm not that into techno group, but that doesn't mean that this isn't greatness. The beats he adds and matches up with the voice is magical. He lets the voice do the work and adds the beats that make this a great dance album. There is not a song on here that won't get you to dance and move and isn't that what we all want from music? Some people try and take music so seriously and forget that its made to be enjoyed.
If this doesn't entertain you well it is not for you and it is for someone else. Everyone forgets that about music, so as you are here try and keep an open mind and find something new and surprising I hope. As I get more savvy with this blog and figure out more I hope to be able to add links and directly add sound cloud files to the posts. Till then here is the link to the sound cloud for your listening pleasure The Weeknd - Balloons of Haus (Produced by Chi Duly).
If you want to download the whole album here is the link. I hope you enjoy!
