Chill music can make us forget the world, yearn to explore it, conjure intense memories of home. Somehow Grynpyret has managed to do all three in the one song, bottling up all the glorious sentiments of wonderment contained in Ryan Hemsworth’s ‘Snow in Newark’ and casting his own enchanting spell within. It’s whimsical and light-hearted, with a selection of sounds and phenomenal drums that paint a canvas of imagery that you won’t ever want to let go. We drift from one beautiful scene to the next with Izzard’s sublime creation in ‘Port Town’. This sleepy melody is the beginning of your adventure, a dream that feels like reality, the soundscape of calm waves glistening in the sun. In short, pure magic. Parkinson White knows about crafting these feelings all too well, and has let his creativity come to life through the emotion-filled ‘The Lament of Sif’. For some, the references will hit home here, but for everyone else the captivating atmosphere will be enough to get lost within.
Still on that nostalgic vibe, NY producer Vesper amps things up a little with an infusion of future bass over this classic from Teedra Moses. It’s the perfect combination of sultry lyrics, smooth beats and playful orchestral plucks to massage your ears into pure serenity. We couldn’t let the book close on this write-up without mention of the next two jamming beats from Flip-D. They’re all about the positive feelings we want to emanate in Dojo #134, gearing you up for whatever this week will bring.
It’s as much about cherishing the past as it is feeling ready to take on what’s next. Peace out.
