It has been inspired by the documentary Human Flow directed by Ai Weiwei about the current global refugees crisis. In the film the viewer is taken to over 20 countries to understand both the scale and the personal impact of this massive human migration.
“La Fuite” begins with a slow, propulsive beat and a 80s synth sound that gives the song a feeling like it could go on forever. For a single that maintains a constant sonic template, VAPA’s drums fills and his beat are crucial to providing gentle tone tweaks that keep it interesting. It is perfectly sequenced and the cinematic result is nice to let yourself go.
The mental and visceral electronic music from the French producer David Raimbaud does not require to choose between the head and the legs. His deep and bewitching synthetic sounds call for a communion of body and mind, muscles and poetry. VAPA is Rambo and Rimbaud together in the same nightclub.
