[MP3 Playlist] The Chill Dojo #70

Posted by Michael Serratore - February 3, 2014

It’s a winning combination of future and classic sounds this week, which makes for the perfect mixed bag of candy for your ears. It’s just the type of music which might make a big victory even sweeter, or help ease the pains of a thrashing of epic proportions.

Whatever side of the fence you were on, it’s impossible not be a fan of this new fun-packed remix from dojo favourite Lindsay Lowend. The feverish master of bass has molded an 8-bit slow jam from Anamanaguchi’s ‘Prom Night’ and it sure knows how to show you a good time. If people are yet to take notice of this producer, this is the track to change the game. We’ve talked about them before, but West Australian duo Slumberjack are definitely ones to watch as well, dabbling in that infectious sweet sound coming out of Oz right now. This teaser for their new remix of ‘Hanging On’ was just too good to refuse, but will leave you desperately wanting more, so make sure to cop the full track out now. Cashmere Cat’s Wedding Bells EP is no doubt one of the best releases of the year so far, and French beatmaker Phazz has gone in with a remix that is crazy good. Taking signature Cashmere vibes and smashing them together with breathtaking melodies makes for one hell of mix, and we are just itching for this one to be released. But wait, there are more crazy beats and breaks are coming straight at you from dynamic duo AO Beats and Manila Killa, and we will not be held responsible for any damage incurred after the uncontrollable body moving that ensues. Luckily, we can slow things back down with this sultry wonder courtesy of a newly surfaced name in EMOJI KING. Though not much is known about this mysterious producer (or side project), one thing for sure is that he/she has already set plenty of hearts on fire with this one, ours included. These mad vibes continue from the likes of Tajan, Mr. Carmack and Mawhs, before we switch things up in a chill house direction. This comes courtesy of an alluring deep remake of the Galantis single ‘Smile’ from Denver duo Action 52. The smooth vocals from the original delve into some very soulful territory, forming a dangerous combination with the irresistibly hypnotic groove layered throughout.

So no matter the outcome from the big game, there’s no way anybody can intercept the vibes flowing from this week’s playlist. Peace out.

[MP3 Playlist] The Chill Dojo #69

Posted by Michael Serratore - January 27, 2014

It didn’t take long at all, but 2014 has already wowed us with a stack of new chill goodness, providing over 40 new tracks for the biggest playlist so far. There’s a lot to dig into here, so let’s cut to the chase.

His remix of ‘La La La’ was one of the dojo’s favorites of last year, so it’s very exciting to see the name Oliver Nelson popping up so early in the year again. The Swedish nuDisco producer is clearly out to make a statement too, taking on another big challenge in remixing Chromeo’s classic, ‘Night by Night’. There was never any doubt he was up to the task, and it’s safe to say his fresh touch is a perfect tribute to the original, filled with all his signature groovy trimmings. Another name you can have instant faith in after a big 2013 is Norway’s Kygo. You can be sure that TMN had this one covered as soon as it surfaced, but for our own pleasure as much as yours we’re revisiting this remix of ‘Cut Your Teeth’, because we just can’t get enough of his bouncy tropical style. Next on the stream list is a charming tune from young Canadian Rezonate off his recent Prelude EP. It’s easy to get lost amongst the sweet melodies and ear candy painted throughout ‘Canvas’, and at the heart of it all is a truly resonating message. It’s the kind of positivity we love to share in these playlists, and your day will definitely be better for it. It’s always a good day when there’s new Bondax, so consider your week made with the free download of their take on ‘Always’. Anything this duo touch of late has been sure to garner rapid attention on the net, but the quality of this quick edit alone gives plenty of reason why. A few weeks back the St.Lucia EP from Vallès graced the front page of our site, but one remix on the release that escaped a mention was this downright funky effort from Vanilla. Don’t fear for lost time though, you’ll make it up pretty quickly by the amount of times you’ll want this one on repeat. We know there’s a lot to get through though, but there’s a couple of fun surprises waiting right at the bottom of the list which may just spark some nostalgic feelings. It’s worth getting to the end.

We’ll leave the reading here for now, your ears are going to be busy. Peace out.

[MP3 Playlist] The Chill Dojo #68

Posted by Michael Serratore - January 20, 2014

And we’re back! After a bit of a break the Chill Dojo is ready to launch into the new year with its signature lineup of stellar tunes discovered over the holiday period. 2013 was a massive year and we can’t wait to see what 2014 has to offer. If this first edition is any indication, we’re in for a very enjoyable time.

We kick things off with a golden cover of a track that has seen plenty of remixes featured in past playlists. Le Youth’s ‘C O O L’ has been the gift that keeps on giving for lovers of chill music, and this sultry RnB cover from London duo July Child certainly continues this trend. The amazing vocals alone were enough to sell us on this one, but when the beat kicked in just after the minute mark consider us well and truly under its spell. 2013 was an incredible year of releases for the Future Classic label, and one that happened to slip past us late in the year was an uplifting remix of Panama courtesy of none other than Cosmo’s Midnight. In signature fashion they put their retro style on full display in a way that is sure to make you smile. This song doesn’t have a care in the world, and that’s something we can all appreciate. Fans of that feeling will love another recently discovered gem from young Canadian prodigy Syre. One listen and you’ll agree that we’re sure to hear more from this talented producer in the dojo this year. If you were caught napping early last week, you may have missed this feature on a fresh new tune from Sydney’s Empia. We heard a lot of this rich electronic sound coming out of this city last year, and we’re more than happy for a good thing to continue into 2014. It’s going to be a long while before we’ve had enough of this style. Another thing sure to keep on this year is seeing Stwo dominate the various playlists on the site. If you happened to miss the latest from him in recent weeks, then let this be a reminder that he’s not one to sleep on.

So did you miss us? We could only keep these tracks to ourself for so long. Peace out.

[MP3 Playlist] The Christmas Chill Dojo #2

Posted by Michael Serratore - December 23, 2013

It’s crazy to think that it’s already been another year since our first Chillmas dojo, but we’re far too preoccupied with kicking back to the amazing music that 2013 has delivered to even care about how time flies. It’s time once again to get festive with our gift to you in another stacked playlist overflowing with presents for your ears. So amidst all the Christmas rush, take some time to treat yourself and chill out. It’s the holiday season after all.

It’s only fitting that we kick things off with one of the biggest stories of 2013, the Hypem Chart climber himself in Kygo. The young Norwegian has certainly made a name for himself this year with a steady stream of brilliant downtempo remixes, and he continues his wave of success with another genius edit. In signature fashion, Kygo elevates the beautiful vocals to float atop his cloud of happiness, with the usual splashes of tropical flavour and infectious bouncing bassline. And while we’re riding that wave of ecstasy, dojo favourites Goldroom are there to continue this feeling with their synth-pop rendition of ‘All Eyes on You” featured last week. You know the deal when it comes to the best of nu-disco acts out there, but there’s nothing like a good sax solo to really seal it. It must really be the silly season, because it’s not often we throw the name Justin Bieber around these parts, but Manila Killa has delivered a Christmas gift that is well worth a bite. He has certainly worked his magic on this flip, because this lush mix will actually make you swallow your pride and jam out to Biebz like an obsessed pre-teen. Just roll with it, we won’t judge. There’s definitely no conflict in pumping some Lindsay Lowend though, and the next level production in ‘Basement Dweller Overture’ is like a journey through sound. Prepare yourself for what comes at the 2 minute mark, because it may just rock your world. Stwo was another revelation in 2013, and the master beatmaker has been nonstop all year. It’s poetic that we have another smooth remix to get lost in before the year is up. And so cues the mellow part of the playlist, with Belgium’s WiSkiM to carry us away with an ambient masterpiece, layered with gorgeous sampling of Ellie Goulding.

That wraps up another incredible year of music, and there’s no doubt that 2014 will only deliver more creativity that will further blow our minds. In true chill fashion, the dojo will be taking a little break for a while to relax and refresh for everything the new year brings. Until then, keep it cool over these holidays. Peace out.

Posted by Michael Serratore - December 16, 2013

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.

Anytime a new Bondax track is released, you just know it’s going to be a good week for the Chill Dojo. That together with all the other amazing tunes in our playlist again prove that to be the truth for this edition.

As for the song in question, ‘Fires’ opens in a majestic fashion as can be expected from the prodigious UK duo. The stunning vocals of Josh Record make the opening minute a simple joy to listen to. And then there’s what comes next. Words actually can’t do it justice. You’ll just have to listen for yourself. Is there even a point in trying to describe what Bondax do? We do need to include something in this write-up though, so instead we can talk about the smooth stylings of Cherokee and their work on this Amerie classic. As we’ve been taught numerous times before, this seasoned French duo have a way with funk, and the bassline on this remix will quickly have you under its spell. While we’re high on this groovy feeling, let’s kick things up a notch with this absolute jam from another Frenchman in Jean Tonique. There are some things that the French just do better, so there’s no way to decipher how exactly he has made this fresh Jay-Z remix so goddamn funky. You’ll be too busy in a state of uncontrollable dancing to even care anyway. Now this dojo isn’t known for posting a whole lot of progressive house, but every so often there’ll be a special tune we come across with the perfect vibe for what we stand for. MaHi’s latest release is a prime example of this, with ‘Wake Up’ providing dreamy melodies and an uplifting feeling that just needed to be shared. Since the dojo’s first beginnings, we’ve seen plenty of unknown chill producers set the blogosphere alight with a consistent stream of amazing music. One of the hottest names right now is Kygo, and this week we were given another reason to be heaping praise on the young Norwegian. No stranger to the top of the Hypem charts, Kygo has quickly scaled them once more with this beautiful take on Ed Sheeran’s ‘I See Fire’. His charming melodies and infectious percussion are once again on full display for another track to be replayed again and again. And if you still can’t get enough, check out edit from DJ AA for a different blend. We could keep writing about this week’s additions forever, but we’ll keep things short so you have more time to enjoy the newest jams from our favourite beatmakers like Mr. Carmack, IAMNOBODI, and Flofilz.

Enough talk, more chilling. Peace out

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.
