Mar A Beach - Villa Schweppes in Calvi, France for Cercle
Thylacine's live set for Cercle on a beach in Calvi is the audio equivalent of a beautifully filmed travel documentary—the kind that makes you want to sell all your possessions, despite knowing you'd just miss reliable Wi-Fi. The vibe is sheer, unadulterated escapism: turquoise water, golden sand, and music that feels breathed into the landscape rather than blasted over it. Technically, it's a genre-defying voyage, with an average BPM of 122 but a range stretching from 91 to 176, anchored by the earthy, organic key of 7B. The energy is overwhelmingly mid-focused (0.53 avg), favoring melodic development and live instrumentation over rhythmic assault.
This is storytelling through sound design. His own compositions form the backbone, with 'Irkutsk' opening proceedings with its wistful, train-track rhythm and melanchonic piano. The rework of Yael Naim's 'Coward' is a stunning centerpiece, transforming the folk-pop original into a sweeping, cinematic epic. The inclusion of Eagles' 'The Last Resort' is a breathtaking, almost absurdly ambitious left-turn that somehow works perfectly in this context.
And Kriss-One's 'Bajja (Afro Rework)' injects a vital dose of sunny, percussive energy. The journey starts on the Trans-Siberian railway with 'Irkutsk', climbs to an emotional summit with 'Coward', and then utterly abandons us to the ambient, 13-minute ocean sounds of 'Sonidos del Mar para Dormir', which is either genius or a very peaceful troll.
