Kitsune Essentials

Kitsune has been taking Paris and the world by storm providing us with the most innovative tunes and the smartest clothes. The secret touch of Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki, the Franco Japanese creative duo behind the label, is a smart mix of avant-garde and tradition: the music is always ahead of the game and the clothes are updates of basic pieces. One way or the other they constantly manage to set new standards either by creating new ones or updating established ones.

Kitsune Maison compilations have been gathering hot bands and artists for years. It’s the result of the guys’ constant look out for new talents whatever genre it may be as long as the sound is relevant. The latest one is Kitsune Maison 7 - the lucky one, it features fresh artists like La Roux, The Golden Filter and Chateau Marmont but also more established ones like Phoenix and their single ‘Lisztomania’ revisited by classixx.  One very special CD also contains a “golden ticket” that will give one lucky customer a year of free music form the label! Nice.
