[MP3 Playlist] Indie Dojo (September 2015 Round #2)

Posted by Allegra Azzopardi - September 8, 2015

One of the biggest shocks to our system has got to be coming down from a wonderful, relaxing 3 day weekend. The more time we have to relax and forget about the reality ahead, the harder it is to get ourselves back into the grind. So what we need to do is remind each other to focus our thoughts on the silver linings hidden in the “going back to work” cloud. And while we know it can be a difficult ride, we’ll be more than happy to start you off on the positive thought train with the first silver sparkle we see. #1 We have a short week ahead. Our weekend countdown clocks have already swam passed the 24 hours of a dreadful Monday without us watching every tick, so that’s pretty awesome. And #2, we rolled right into the Tuesday Indie Dojo without a glitch. We think thats a pretty good start on the track, but it’s up to you to keep that positivity chuggin”…

The Chill Dojo #148

Posted by Michael Serratore - September 7, 2015

We may have kissed another Summer goodbye, but you can always count on some late farewells even after the season has come to a close. This year it’s the bumping groove of Pat Lok to give us a final taste of musical heat, taking on the tribal vibes of Autograf’s ‘Dream’ and kicking things up a notch with a sweltering bassline. With a host of switch-ups throughout the ride, this is one slick mix that brings a whole new freshness to a track we’ve been spinning plenty often this year. Basenji’s ‘Petals’ is another one that’s received big love in 2015, and off the back of news of his impending debut EP, we’ve been gifted with another gem in ‘Can’t Get Enough’. Going down the vocal road has paid dividends for the creative producer of late, and together with the stellar input from Brasstracks, this one is dripping in cheesy happiness that’s got us feeling some kind of way. We’re hooked on those sweet emotions for the moment, so it’s only right we share buji’s foray into the vocal space with ‘Dreamcast’. Channeling a unique combination of Fetty Wap, game references and superb future sounds, this one will tug on those nostalgic heartstrings from beginning to end.

It was only a matter of time before we ran into a song with this title, but thankfully Shleepytime brings all the right vibes you’d expect from ‘Netflix and Chill’. Nothing sets the mood quite like expert chord progression, cheesy slap bass and that iconic jersey water drop sample, so we just had to invite this one over into our playlist this week. We’ve spent heaps of quality time with Porter’s ‘Sad Machine’ across the course, but even when you think you’ve heard them all, an inspirational piece from no idea why comes along to completely blow your mind all over again. It’s a slow build towards the epic climax of this song, but in every moment before and after you can hear the painstaking detail that’s gone into the incredibly beautiful soundscape. Pure chills.

You’ve been warned, this edition is heavy on the feels. Peace out.

[Chill / Soul] Khai – Do You Go Up

Posted by Dominic Powell - September 5, 2015

KHAI
Do You Go Up

In the modern music landscape, savvy artists have been able to identify the need for – and changing preferences towards – certain sounds. Niche artists who rose to fame from seemingly out of nowhere are commonplace; just look at the career arcs of artists like Skrillex revolutionizing dubstep or Thomas Jack in the tropical house realm. For burgeoning musicians, coming to understand one’s own “style” is a creative process of trial and error. As styles fade out of favor, others will rise in popularity. Music fans often don’t realize the void that exists until its filled by the next great sound.

Filling that void in the Future R&B world is a new Missouri-based producer by the name of Khai. With two tracks and less than 1,500 followers to his name, Khai is poised for a monumental rise in late 2015, anchored by his latest release “Do You Go Up”.

This new release, the first single on an upcoming EP, is a bubbly, minimalistic tune that relies heavily on the talented vocals of its creator. What sets Khai’s early masterpiece apart however, is how the instrumentals and production quality equal the impressive vocal aspects. “Do You Go Up” is the epitome of mood music; with a catchy hook and a simple beat structure, it is a tune the listener will want to play on repeat in the company of friends, or alone while lost in thought.

If “Do You Go Up” is any indication of what listeners can expect from Khai in the near future, If You has the potential to be the most impressive debut EP of 2015. Listeners can keep up to date on Khai’s new works on his soundcloud page, while his EP will be released via Octal Sound on October 16^th.

[Electro-Soul/Alt-Pop] NITE-FUNK (Nite Jewel & Dâm-Funk) – Can U Read Me

Posted by Matthew Bloss - September 4, 2015

NITE-FUNK (Nite Jewel & DâM-FunK)
~ Can U Read Me?

L.A. based alt-pop songstress Nite Jewel and modern-funk musician, vocalist and producer Dâm-Funk have teamed up more than a few times over the trajectory of their respective careers; even securing a smidgen of virality with their single “I Know You’re the One”, and have once again combined forces as NITE-FUNK for brand new single “Can U Read Me”. Once upon a time, the sometimes duo was even close to releasing an entire EP’s worth of music, but as their arcs have swirled in different direction since then, we’ll have to settle for their one-off singles. Which, as long as we’re still getting tunes from the unlikely pairing, we don’t entirely mind. “Can U Read Me” pulls from both Nite Jewel and Dâm-Funk’s sonic psyche, ambling out of the gates with washed out pads and some Nite Jewel appropriated bass before unveiling its percussive core as a funk-tipping two-step progression before giving into the pair’s hooking vocals. “Can U Read Me” is a lovely piece of Neo-Soul, modern funk and avant-pop that we’ve not stopped grooving to this morning. Let’s get into the weekend spirit with some NITE-FUNK above.

[Pop] HONNE – No Place Like Home (Feat. Jones)

HONNE
No Place Like Home (feat. JONES)

We always have something to think about when hanging with HONNE. They take us to the depths of our truest feelings as soon as they arrive and it’s easy to find some space to dive into. Feeling like there’s “No Place Like Home” can be especially strong when Andy and James bring their friend Jones along. Her impact is felt as the first artist to feature on an official HONNE single. Jones‘ vocals match up perfectly with the precedent that has been set. This will find it’s rest on the recently released Over Lover EP, which is now available on Soundcloud, Spotify & iTunes. Let’s see what kind of remixes come out of this project.
