Up and coming talent headlines Dojo #145 with NRMИ putting a fresh spin on the iconic ‘Need U 100’ courtesy of a silky future flip. Layered with plenty of warm vibes and nostalgic sampling, the young talent has definitely proven this track worthy of its inclusion in the latest compilation from the TOO LUSH collective. There are a few other gems from Too Lush Vol. 4 scattered throughout the playlist which are well worth listening out for too. One of the discoveries of the week came from a new name in Color K and his brand of sexy French house that could turn up the heat on any dance-floor within seconds. Sultry vocals meld seamlessly with the velvety atmosphere to set the mood right, leaving the infectious garage beat perfectly poised to turn a packed club into a sweaty mess.
In similar fashion, Gallant has set things on fire ever since the release of ‘Weight in Gold’, and producers have been lining up to showcase their own take on the soulful original. This week we’ve got another 3 goosebump-inducing efforts on display, with Louis Futon, Jia Lih and Electric Mantis all offering their unique sounds to ensure this one won’t burn out for a long time to come. We’re certain it won’t be the last you’ll hear in the Dojo. Dillon Francis has been all about the flames lately in hyping up his latest release This Mixtape is Fire. While not a name that usually features in our chill abode, his collaboration with Chromeo broke away from the moombahton style of the EP to deliver a short but oh so sweet slow jam that doesn’t hold back on the vocoder action.
The weekday grind fades into insignificance with this in your ears. Peace out.
