It’s to answer this question — as poetic as it is enigmatic — that Mokado delivers his third album. More modern and dance-oriented than his previous releases, “WHERE DOES THE NIGHT GO?” surprises with its bold and daring aesthetic choices.
We still find the blend of electro-pop and melodic techno with marimba that usually defines his music. However, it’s clear that the French producer has this time turned his ears more toward the other side of the Channel. With UK Garage rhythms, pitched House vocals, and Breakbeat influences, fans of British music will feel right at home and will easily recognize echoes of London producers Jamie XX and SBTRKT throughout the album.
Paris, London, Berlin? It doesn’t matter.
It’s a tribute to British club culture, carrying us on a nocturnal wander through the arteries of a European capital. Paris, London, Berlin? It doesn’t matter. Mokado has turned the heartbeats that pace life in these great metropolises into electronic beats — an electric pulse, carefree and festive at first (THE WALK // 1:46AM, THE CLUB // 2:18AM), becoming tender and melancholic (THE MOON // 3:49AM, THE TUBE // 5:25AM) as we slowly sink deeper into the night, until the album’s final romantic sigh (THE PARK // 6:42AM).
From dusk till dawn, it’s hard to pull away from this intoxicating electro journey that takes us wherever the night goes. If you’re still looking for the answer, remember the words often attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson. “It is not the destination that matters, but the journey.”
