We’re cutting right to the chase for Dojo #130 and bursting out of the blocks with a splash of summer sound right to your eardrums. If you happened to sleep on our feature from last week, then you missed one hell of a musical adventure courtesy of Big Wild. It may be a take on ‘Champagne Drip Theme’, but a tune like this wouldn’t feel out of place in any Mario Kart, conjuring up images of high-paced hijinks on sunny white beaches. On a different setting but a similar universe, Monstercat representative Volant carries us on an eventful journey as we go ‘Full Circle’ through galaxies of punchy chords, jazzy breakdowns and pure melodic bliss. It’s a beautiful ride to be on, and one that glides through wave after wave of funky wonderment. Swiss native Insan3Lik3 injects a dose of pop into this week’s edition with a sweet mix of J-Hype’s vocals and nu-disco groove. It’s a sweet indulgence of carefree vibes that flows with ease from start to finish.
The label may have passed on Pat Lok’s latest edit, but we’re calling this flip of ‘Easy Come Easy Go’ a certified jam. There’s just no denying this funky Canadian from unleashing some dance floor heat, and the whole thing is made even more incredible after hearing the original’s style. Chris McClenney did manage to score that official remix status on Goldlink’s ‘Sober Thoughts’, and this fast-paced lyrical scorcher won’t take long to prove exactly why. The Baltimore-based producer is in fine form here, delivering a steady slapping beat layered with tasty servings of sax on that feel-good vibe.
That may be enough to hit the spot already, but that’s not even close to hinting what the rest of this playlist has in store. Peace out.
