The weekend was for celebration, but Monday is all about settling down with some sweet tunes for your ears, and for that Dojo #139 has you covered. Renowned beat-maker esta gets the vibe going with a silky take on a soulful Banks original, transforming ‘Someone New’ into a fresh jam that could sit on repeat for hours and never get stale. From there, Tobtok provides a flashback to the weekend’s revelry with a groovy house party-starter that oozes sunshine and good feelings. You wouldn’t imagine similar sentiments could ever come from Robyn’s iconic ‘Call Your Girlfriend’, but Thero and Taylor Wise have teamed up to bring some warmth to the emotional hit. It’s an interesting contrast of somber vocals and summer sounds, but as always the addition of a sax solo will always be our weak spot.
Fans of Aussie group SAFIA will have been waiting for this one to surface for a while, but this week ‘Embracing Me’ officially joined the ranks of quality electronica for 2015. Known for their incredible vocal treatment and ability to craft an anthem, this gentle piece of aural deliciousness will have no trouble holding a crowd in the palm of its hands and moving them to its every ebb and flow.
Time to wind down in the best way possible and rejuvenate for the week ahead. Peace out.
