So it’s that busy time of the year again when everything can get all too much in the lead up to Christmas. Don’t fear though, because some of our favourite artists have been working away as well, and as a result we have another stacked edition for a much needed dose of chill.
Chicago’s mashup machine, Ricky Cervantes, takes sultry to the next level with the sexiest of lounge mixes, blending the vocals of Ellie Goulding with the smooth production of Penthouse Penthouse. We don’t need to point out what music like this should be used for, so make sure you enjoy it in the best way possible. But that’s not the only thing that will bring a smile to your face this week, because that is Wave Racer’s specialty and he’s outdone himself again with another summer anthem. His sound is like pure happiness bottled into 3 minutes. Simply replay again and again for lasting effects. Fellow Sydney producer Basenji boasts a similar game with a style much akin to Cashmere Cat. His name was all over the Trap Dojo this week, but the chill vibe of ‘Dawn’ was simply too good not to highlight again in this playlist. Any guesses where our next featured artist comes from? There’s definitely something special happening in Sydney right now, because talented duo Cosmo’s Midnight also let loose a double A-side single that too is ready-built for the hot Australian summer. We just can’t get enough of that bouncy future sound, and it won’t take long before you’re hooked on it as well. The Sydney takeover continues with Flume’s right hand man and other half of What So Not, Emoh Instead, who switches things up with a deep house remix of Elizabeth Rose’s club hit, ‘The Good Life’. This one is sure to dominate the festival season down-under, but it will likely induce sweaty dancing wherever it’s played. Ok, time to leave Australia now, but that’s only because our favourite Canadian Kaytranada has enticed us over with another one of his signature jams, this time going to work on the upcoming Disclosure remix album. The vibe is everything you’ve come to expect from one of the very best in the game right now, so don’t go sleeping on this one. And if this has suddenly brought on an intense craving for more beats, Paris’ Fitzroy can satisfy your needs with this track off his newly released Noah EP. It’s a guaranteed head-bopper.
All this music has sure kept us busy as well. Make sure to save some time for yourself in this next week. Peace out.
