French producer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter MABLONDE‘s career started in earnest back in the 90s as a beatmaker. But since then, his work has gradually morphed to a sound that features elements of electro pop, electronica and synth wave and makes references to the styles and aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s.

The French artist’s latest single “1973” is a sleek, hook-driven, club banger that’s one-part LCD Soundsystem, one-part indie sleaze, one-part 70s glam rock and one-part 1980s-era Giorgio Moroder.
