As predicted the Summer tunes are in full swing and this dojo is reaping the rewards, and sharing them out of course. This edition is chock-full of beach-ready music and is best enjoyed under high volumes of sun. These sounds are so summer you’ll get a tan just by listening.
It’s a big call to make, but take one listen to pick number 1 this week and you’ll fully agree. Together with the ever-chill vocals of Patrick Baker, 5 Reasons has created something truly magical with this rework of a Bob Marley classic. He’s gone and done the unthinkable in making an original from the king of reggae sound even more laid-back. It’s quite a feat indeed, and the bright percussive flavour is definitely one of the keys to success. This one is a jam, hands down. Our next feature is one of those pieces of music to lose yourself in. Rising Australian duo Willow Beats have crafted a majestic track that floats along like a feather in the breeze, infused with gorgeous guitar and vocals that are just as soft. In unexplainable ways it seems to slow the flow of time and transport your imagination to a place of fantasy. It hasn’t taken long, but it seems we’re writing about dojo favourite Snakehips once again. It’s for good reason though, cos this remix of the enchanting BANKS is so smooth. The signature Snakehips production style is no stranger to these vocals, their forces having combined many times before, and hopefully it’s a meeting of sounds that will continue for a long time to come, because it’s a proven winner. Also a verified success is the amazing ‘White Lies’ from We Sink. Well, get ready to fall in love with it all over again as we present NY producer Kruisemode’s take on the original, and it is pure vibes. A few weeks ago TMN introduced the eclectic sounds of Free n Losh, and they’ve made their way into the Chill dojo this week with a stunning remix of Swedish band Nervous Nellie. Seems everything this duo touch is gold.
It’s a good week when it’s a battle to choose the top features in the playlist, but there’s definitely plenty of gems spread all throughout. Peace out.
