Well you may have seen it across every other playlist on the TMN this week, but the release of Cosmo’s Midnight’s ‘Say My Name’ bootleg has been a long time coming for us, so it’s only right that it makes the top of the Chill Dojo too. The Sydney twins spin their signature future sounds over this Destiny’s Child classic, sprinkled with jersey influences and the creative sampling we’ve grown to love from the host of young Australian producers dominating the scene right now. Things only get better as the track progresses though, with those infectious wavy vibes reaching feverish levels in the final minute. ICYMI, the funkmaster GRiZ gifted fans with yet another amazing tune as well, this time electing to dish out dangerously smooth bass and groove to show his constant evolution as an artist. Sax will always be his weapon of choice though, so of course he ices his polished production with a sweet dose for good measure. There was plenty more of this groove circulating the net this week, and GANZ has been a rising name in the bass game lately, causing quite a stir with his trademark “flips” of big name tracks. His latest take on ‘Tell Me’ is another statement proving that he has well and truly arrived as a talent to watch with great attention.
But big name or small name, if we hear a good track we’re going to take notice, and that’s exactly what we have on our hands with Benzamak’s ‘Yoga Pants’. Like its clothing item namesake, we are very glad this song was invented and it will certainly have the ability to bring much happiness to a lot of people. Another perfect compliment to your upcoming summer is this delicious beat from TastyTreat. A seductive heat pulsates from this production at every moment, staking its claim as a powerful addition to any bedroom or party playlist alike. London’s Bobby Tank is another artist who knows how to craft a piece of music that can hold an audience firmly in its trance, and his latest release ‘Undone’ will induce uncontrollable body grooving for the whole five minute ride. At the same time, he’ll be blowing your mind again and again with outrageously good sounds and production elements. As much as there is plenty of talk surrounding the plague of EDM that all follows the same commercial formula, you don’t have to look too hard to find a heap of fresh material floating about, with lesser known artists pushing the envelope and influencing new styles. Just take a listen to these next few features from Grimecraft and ABSRDST and it will be easy to see. There’s been a steady movement of videogame elements and sampling creeping its way into the sounds of 2014, and that’s undoubtedly a good thing when you have music like this as a result. With chill vibes to boot, there will definitely be plenty more of this style featured in playlists to come.
And that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the talent on show below, so make sure to soak it all in. Peace out.
