When compiling together the Chill Dojo, musical collectives have been very good to us as a source of never-ending magic. Soda Island is one such group that has been full of hidden gems in recent times, and co-founder Izzard has won our hearts once again with a gorgeous collaboration with the gentle vocals of BLANKTS. The silky lyrical flow will hit you right in the weak spot, leaving it quite difficult to form the words to describe the beautiful purity that lies within. Speaking of groups that never fail to deliver, Alina Baraz and Galimatias have been a winning combination for a while now, but the feel-good vibes of Hotel Garuda aim to take ‘Make You Feel’ to even greater heights. The perfect blend of addictive beat and sun-kissed atmosphere give us one last blast of summer glory before we kiss goodbye to our favorite season for another year. It’s not our last feature from Urban Flora though, as adept beat-maker GEOTHEORY chimes in with his own official remix which opens on soulful piano before switching things up to showcase his trademark groove.
When talking beats, Brisbane-based Feki has certainly been a producer on the rise of late, and his latest phenomenal effort on Atlas Bound’s ‘Landed On Mars’ will show exactly why that growing attention is about to extend well beyond his home country very soon. While his work has always leaned towards the chill side, he’s definitely caught us off guard with one of his smoothest efforts to date, applying lush layers of sound that take the sultry vocals of the original to the next level. We did warn last week that it wasn’t the last we’d hear from ‘Weight in Gold’, and you’d forgive us for not being able to resist calling out this astoundingly funky take from LBCK. When it comes to remixes we’re sure this song has had more than it’s fill already, but this version manages to keep things fresh with a bouncy groove that seems to channel the addictive style of FKJ.
We hope this week is as good to you as this music is to us. Peace out.
Can I (GEOTHEORY Remix)’
