The Exotica Lounge of Kinobe: The Echoes Interview

Electronic artist Kinobe takes us into his ethereal lounge, inspired by Sinatra-era strings and singers, 90s’ trip-hop, and the French duo, Air.
Kinobe: I grew up in a household where I would hear Nelson Riddle at least once a day, my parents are big Sinatra fans. They like all of the crooners and then artists like Percy Faith. I love those sounds.
Kinobe’s new album, Out of the Blue, is nothing short of entrancing, a dream journey to exotica. Kinobe is Julius Waters, and John Diliberto talks with him in the Echoes Lounge from PRX.

Two great sets! I especially enjoyed Tangerine Dream, Al Di Meola, and the chilled-out tracks by Lana Del Rey, Cass Anawaty, Max Richter, and Trentemoller.
