Can i kick it…MAD chill

Classic

Incredible song. DJ Shadow - What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4), from his amazing debut album Endtroducing which came out in ‘96 I think. So it’s pretty old school now. But it is really influential and I think it’s one of the best hip-hop/experimental albums. It’s all instrumental and kind of jazzy and the whole album was made just using samples. Crazy. Really clever. Amazing. Oh whatever just listen.

Glassjaw - Jesus Glue. Great song from Our Color Green EP, which is amazing. This song is pretty heavy and progressive but it’s got a proper solid latin-flavoured groove running through it. Banging tune. Check it.

John Butler - Under an Indian Sky. It’s just incredible. This album is fantastic, and it has the original version of Ocean on it which is also amazing. Literally want to be on a beach listening to this song. With beer. Yeah. Check this out.

‘Over the Ice’ by Stockholm-based The Field. He released this amazing album on influential German electronic label Kompakt a few years ago. I’ve listened to it a hell of a lot since then, and I thought I’d throw something on here about it. The album is called ‘From Here We Go Sublime’. It’s amazing. It’s minimal, ambient techno/trance with traces of shoegaze and pop - just put it on and chill!

London-based Mumdance, ‘Smasher’. Mumdance uses sounds from all over the globe, in particular from Africa, and melds them with glitchy electro and club beats, sounds so fresh. What do you think?

Send and Receive (Ft Jianda)

Tycho - Sunrise Projector (2004)

This is pretty cool. Nice and chill. 

Portishead - ‘Mysterons’. One of the most creative albums I’ve ever heard, ‘Dummy’. Trip-Hop with weird samples and alien sounds and ethereal vocals, it’s amazing. This song was incredible at Benicassim. Listen up

This is sick. It’s by Star Slinger, a producer from Manchester (UK). It uses a sample from Cocteau Twins with his own production - Elizabeth Frazer’s vocals are all weird and indecipherable. Which is obviously a good thing! Check this, it’s cool. 

A bit of downtempo/trip-hop type of thing now with British artist BONOBO. ‘Days to Come’ is a good album, mellow, chilled, and it works as one long piece of music, kind of ambient in that way. This track is called ‘Recurring’. Nice.
