It’s time again to wind down after a hectic week and take a chance to chill before the rush starts again. Indulge in what we’ve put together for edition #56.
Sometimes it takes all of two seconds to know that a track is a winner, and that was exactly the case with the latest downtempo delight from Perth duo Slumberjack. Well known for their sleepy tendencies, this laid-back tune has been specially crafted for those lazy afternoons where getting up and doing something active just doesn’t seem all that appealing. After all, these lush sounds and soothing vocals go down pretty darn well with that perfect spot on the couch. It’s out as a free download along with its own remix package, including the smooth edit from LAKIM below. We’re keeping the beats flowing now with another Aussie producer in ProtoKol, who throws down some groovin chords in his remix of a hip-hop classic from Roots Manuva. And while we’re talking fresh takes on classic songs, dojo favourite French Kiwi Juice breathes new life into timeless soul jam with his trademark funky style that is pure class. Nu Disco is always a welcome addition to the playlist, and German producer Kris Santiago has put a charming spin on the title track from Goldroom’s latest EP. This mellow edit is a perfect fit for Goldroom’s style, with that touch of summer we all know and love. And even though the season is long over in their part of the world, that won’t stop more summer tunes flowing from German artists, with Gamper & Dadoni releasing their take on “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall”. Sure, the song may have received the remix treatment over a thousand times by now, but it’s nice to hear an interpretation that isn’t trying to get a crowd going at a festival, and can just be appreciated for its musical brilliance. We end this week’s write-up in a feel-good way with a track from Norwegian producer Jerry Folk, who also turns out is a big TMN fan. It’s always great to hear that people are loving the music we feature on the site, and even better when they deliver something for us that is right up our alley.
That’s what we have to share for another week, so plant yourself in a comfy spot and enjoy. Peace out.
