Anything featuring Alina Baraz and Galimatias is automatically on our radar when it comes to the Chill Dojo, but when long-time favorite Stwo adds his own tender touch to the sweltering ‘Maybe’, hearts are bound to melt in an instant. If the sultry vibes of the original weren’t enough, the smoothness of this edit has definitely broken the dial where that’s concerned. Tom Misch is no stranger to a soulful beat either, and this week he revealed the first track off his upcoming Beat Tape 2. ‘In The Midst Of It All’ sums up the beautiful simplicity that the young prodigy brings to his music, and it’s this honest charm that has us hooked on everything he’s been doing lately. The quality of this next feature needs no introduction when you see the names Chet Faker and Banks combine. In what will go down as one of the collabs of 2015, ‘1998’ is everything you could want from these two vocal powerhouses together in the silkiest of jams.
Not to be outdone though, ODESZA’s remix of Hayden James was another game-changer for the internet to handle after being teased in their live sets. A slowed-down mellow take on the dance-floor heater, the majestic atmosphere conjured here is flawless in every way. For anyone who’s caught a Wave Racer show in recent weeks, the surfacing of his latest bomb ‘Flash Drive’ will be a welcome relief from replaying mobile footage over and over in desperation to relive the moment. His signature color and joyful melody have been unleashed once again, with a cheeky slap bass solo thrown in to take things to a whole new level of shameless fun.
We’re gonna ride this wave of joy all the way through to next week. Peace out!
