The Chill Dojo #155

Posted by Michael Serratore - November 9, 2015

We’re kicking off Dojo #155 with some nu-disco action courtesy of Plastic Plates and his funky brand of feel good vibes. After being renowned for his own remix work, it’s only fitting that Oliver Nelson’s first original track receives a similar treatment of smooth elevation we’re used to hearing him dish out himself. ‘Found Your Love’ was already one of our favorite jams of 2015, and this summer-filled flip is a timely reminder that this year still has plenty of gold to discover before it’s done. Another producer who keeps reminding us of that fact is the ever-reliable jackLNDN, his latest EP Summer Never Ends Vol. 2 a testament to the endless stream of amazing tunes we discover every week. We’ve featured two tracks of this very nature from the release, ‘Hit Refresh’ carrying his signature polished groove, while ‘Streams’ travels down a more soulful jazzy route that is a delightful deviation from his usual style.

After a bit of a hiatus, Swiss producer Insan3Lik3 has returned to explore the future bass space, combining with Creepa to concoct a melodic yet restrained sound that has us keen to hear more artistic experimentation like this. No matter the quality of tools at their disposal, there is always going to be magic made when friends collaborate, and that’s exactly what j.roosevelt and Lea Beiley have proven with their stunning mellow single ‘Subtract & Divide’. We’re all about those bedroom gems that only take a little bit of polish to really shine, and boy do those vocals glisten in the light of those glorious keys. That’s not the only partnership we want to hero from the week either, with Kidswaste and Lolaby revealing an emotion-filled EP in the works, heralded by the beautiful ‘Make U Mine’. There is purity in the feelings that went into crafting this song, and it’s a simple message to be shared with the one you hold them for.

As for the rest of this playlist, that’s our message to you. Peace out.

[Deep House] Solomon Grey – Miradors (Lane 8 Remix)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - November 7, 2015

Solomon Grey
Miradors (Lane 8 Remix)

Lane 8‘s debut album Rise has proven one of our favorites of the year–a lush, cohesive collection of house/trance music. The broad range of features on the project helped it stand out further bolstering an already irresistible sound. His collaborations with UK duo Solomon Grey, also regulars on the pages of TMN, were perhaps the most potent. To return the favor, Lane 8 crafted a remix of Solomon Grey’s hit “Miradors” and it’s a nearly ten minute deep house masterpiece. Those who’ve caught any of Lane 8’s recent shows may recognize this blissful joint, which is yet another display of versatility from the talented producer. Get lost in this one above–it’s available now as part of Solomon Grey’s 3D1T remix EP.

PS If you dig Lane 8 as much as we do, make sure to check out our exclusive interview.

Who’s ready to get crunk? Although we only have a handful of trap tunes for you this week, we’d like to think you can still get down and dirty to some house music. At first, we keep it soft with some deeper sounds, then slowly move out until we get to the real rage tracks. Hopefully your night follows a similar pattern, unless you’re one of the people who just likes to hop right in to the craziness. May your night be filled with good vibes, good people, and good music. We’ve provided the last part, now you carry it forth and spread the positivity. Most importantly however, #danceirresponsibly.

[Electronic] Ark Patrol – At All (ft. Veronika Redd)

Ark Patrol
At All (ft. Veronika Redd)

It’s been a little while since we last heard the combination of Ark Patrol’s captivating brand of electronica together with the sophisticated vocals of Veronika Redd, but with the impending release of his latest album Primo we’ve been given another taste of what creativity their collaborations can conjure. They last teamed up for the soulful mellow single ‘Let Go’ back in April, but the Hawaiian-born producer has promised a more experimental approach to the upcoming album, and this song is a good indication of the diversity he will bring to his sound. A plodding beat sets the stage for Veronika’s profound lyrical work, with layers of curious soundscape interwoven throughout. While this formula carries through for the first half of the track, the intensity rises thereafter with his signature pulsating synths providing a driving force behind her words. Together it makes for a powerful piece of music that sets the tone for what to expect once the full album drops on the 20th of this month.

[Hip-Hop] Jazz Cartier – Stick and Move

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - November 6, 2015

Jazz Cartier
Stick and Move

We’ve been patiently waiting for some new material from Hip-Hop Dojo Spotlight Artist Jazz Cartier since the release of his stellar debut mixtape Marauding In Paradise back in April. The man also known as Jacuzzi La Fleur picks up right where he left off, crafting a certifiable banger with “Stick and Move”. The Toronto based emcee has seen his star steadily rise over the last year, joining the ranks of other talented up-and-comers from his native city like Tory Lanez and JAHKOY. He hopes to carry that momentum with him through 2016 as he plans his follow-up to Marauding In Paradise. This is certainly a step in the right direction.
