Sunday Night Soul (On a Monday) [Vol. 12]

Now that Super Bowl XLVIII is over and done with, Sunday’s are going to be a little less eventful for quite awhile. Luckily for you, you have Sunday Night Soul to look forward to in its absence. Yes, before we begin, we know it’s Monday. We apologize for the delay folks, but that game really drained us out (read: put us to sleep). As a fan who’s had his heart broken multiple times over, I sympathize with all the Broncos fans out there tonight. My only hope is that this week’s serving of soul can be the first step towards recovery for all of you (including many of my fellow ninjas).

This week’s edition is packed with plenty of surprises: with collaborations between Cashmere Cat and Ludacris, unlikely mashups of Justin Timberlake and Dpat, a spectacular cover of “Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Vancouver Sleep Clinic and GXNVXS, and a SevnthWonder trifecta, there’s plenty of treasure tucked away deep in tonight’s set. This may also be the best lineup we’ve ever assembled in terms of debuts. Twin Caverns, Niykee Heaton, Ego Ella May, Adna, Clare Maguire, Maurice, bizZarh, Rook Milo, Black Atlass, Neo Safari, Moody Good♡ EMOJI KING ♡ and i.o. all make worthy additions to the Sunday Night Soul family. Our veterans meanwhile seemed to have doubled their efforts this week, with MadeauxΔGØLDWYN , Fortune, Duncan Gerow, abstract youth and SevnthWonder all making multiple appearances. This is one of those weeks where we wish we could highlight each song individually, but unfortunately there isn’t enough time for that. Instead, we’ll leave the judgments up to you (although we’re fairly certain you’ll enjoy each and every single one of them).

It’s the middle of December, which for many of us means our Holiday break is just an arm’s length away. Of course there’s some hurdles to get through along the way. Whether it’s a hellish finals week packed with little to no sleep, or having to endure office parties while donning your ugliest Holiday sweaters (admittedly, the second option sounds a bit less stressful), we’re here to give you a few moments of reprise as you sort through your hectic schedule.

The 90’s are alive and well in this week’s edition of Sunday Night Soul. From old school remixes of Aaliyah, Sade and Mary J.

the-trap-dojo

Quite the lineup today for our 61st Trap Dojo, featuring pretty much every sound design that’s floating around the blogosphere. Starting off with arguably the hottest producer in the game right now, Wave Racer, who seems to only release anthems. His remix of Flight Facilities track, “Stand Still” could be his best yet, what do you think? Next is the new Cashmere Cat, he does by Basenji but were going to just call him ‘Dogmere Dog’ for now. I featured 3 glorious tracks from him today: “Dawn”, “Tribute To The Cat”, and “Speak With A Dofflin”. KAYTRANADA Edition of Disclosure, that’s really all you should have to read before listening to this remix of “January”. Jacuzzi is up next, and you don’t want to over look these two amazing tracks, “Tundra” and “Luxury”. Enjoy the rest of the tunes featuring: LOUDPVCK, Flosstradamus, Torro Torro, Flechette, Tom Size, ODESZA, Lambo, TastyTreat, salute, Free N Losh, Gent & Jawns, Big Gigantic, heRobust, Supervision, Bro Safari, UFO!, ESTA, Ta-ku, Com Truise, and more.

[MP3 Playlist] The Chill Dojo #64

At this time of the year when we declare our appreciation for the things we are thankful for, it goes without saying that we owe a lot to the great music in our lives. The melodies, beats, rhythms and vocals that float in and out of our heads all add something indescribable to our days, and what better way to celebrate this than by sharing more of our favourite chill tunes from the past week.

A new single from Flight Facilities is definitely something worth writing home about, and this is one song that includes all the amazing things we just alluded to. The sweet vocals of Micky Green bring a relaxing vibe to this upbeat jam, and with one half of Snakehips also chiming in on the mix, this is one star-studded production to be played on and on. Australian producers have been on a tear all year, and as the Summer season kicks in down under the awesome volume of chill tracks will only continue to grow. When two very different Aussie musical outfits collide in the one production, as occurred last week in this feature of Kilter remixing dream-pop sensation Snakadaktal, you’re guaranteed a dose of sun-drenched goodness. And that’s exactly the vibe of this tropical delight, which will breathe life back into even the most miserable of days. That uplifting feeling can be quite addicting though, and thankfully this latest freebie from Kaskade will keep this feeling flowing on. There’s a hell of a lot of love mixed into this mellow groove, and it’s definitely one to play when you’re surrounded by the special people in your life. It’s time to amp up the chill beats though, and this Thanksgiving present from Esta will do the trick nicely. There are places where only certain sounds can take us, and ‘Moet’ is a straight-up smooth jam that is guaranteed to take you to wherever your zone is. There’s not a lot to find on the mysterious Parkinson White, but what can be easily said is that ‘Irregular’ will give you an instant feeling of undeniable happiness. It’s music like this that is truly special, so we can only hope there’s much more to come from this name in the future. It’s also this quality in a song that makes Wave Racer’s work so good to listen to, and a fellow Australian beatmaker in Sable has added his own flavour to ‘Rock U Tonite’ for a fun new take on the popular original.

So once again we declare our love for each and every artist that allow us to pick out this playlist each week. We hope you feel it too. Peace out.
