When it comes to chill vibes, nostalgia has the power to evoke vivid memories that can be triggered by just a single note. With his latest track ‘childhood’, rising producer Sam Gellaitry has done just that, and made no secret of his intentions either. Utilizing a potent combination of emotion-rich flute, superb beats and a soul-touching melody, this is one that hits straight in the feels, and transports you into a time-warp of distant recollections. It’s almost impossible not to lose yourself with this in your ears. If it’s got you craving blissful sounds of a similar nature, then we’ve got the perfect follow-up with a few additions from Krys Talk. ‘Rainbow Resort’ has the nostalgia-meter continuing to run on overdrive with some serious Kirby vibes and colorful sounds that burst into feelings of a carefree time. On the flip-side, ‘Forget-Me-Not’ turns up jazzy elements to express its relaxed sentiments, and yet as the title alludes, there is still an undeniable tinge of longing about it all. ‘Forever’ may just voice the exact opposite of this idea, but this latest jam from long-time favorites Snakehips is very much on the same wavelength when it comes to the undeniable funk laid down over the beat. It’s time to shake yourself out of the deep thought of the previous features, because this one was made to groove to!
