Adventure (Deluxe)

Huge, pop-savvy EDM abounds on this feel-good debut from feted French beatsmith Madeon, a.k.a. Hugo Pierre Leclercq. He broke out with viral YouTube hit “Pop Culture,” a spontaneous, seamless mash-up of almost 40 pop songs. But Adventure—which features a chorus of guest vocalists including Kyan and Dan Smith—proves this talented Nantes-born producer is just as capable of crafting brilliant, conceit-free jams, from airy turbo dance bangers (“Zephyr”) to sample-laced chiptune funk (“OK”) and glowing vocoder pop (“Pay No Mind”).
