Desperados x Mount Kimbie present Train Trax

We have teamed up with the renowned electronic music group Mount Kimbie to prove that the journey is as good as the destination. Desperados Train Trax takes wild experimentation in music to the next level, by turning an ordinary train into a gig scene for fans from across the globe. The train became a hub of innovation where it was rigged to become the world’s longest (and heaviest!) musical instrument, shaping the track recorded live by Mount Kimbie. Some of the train sounds were integrated into the track in real time, whilst the crowd had an active participative role, impacting some of the train’s elements like the lights and camera. The speed of the train also dictated the BPM of the bass drum itself, so when the train sped up, so did the beat of the music. The result of the experiment is a live ’train remix’ recording of Synthi, a new track due to be released by Mount Kimbie later in 2017.
