Chill

Hidden Orchestra’s Seven Hunters is absolutely amazing live!

I discovered that Alina Bara and Galimatias have done a full-on EP as opposed to a few select collabs. Winning!

Just stumbled across this! Yum!

MrSuicideSheep collaborated with the great Aaron Static and between them, somehow, they cooked up a mix. Mostly, I suspect, it was Aaron. In any event, it’s a wonderful piece of aural porn. For some reason, the key that a lot of these tunes are in appeals rather a lot! This one in particular leapt out at me:

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so here’s a quick rundown of various chill dubstep/2-step tunes I’ve been listening to that are well worth checking out! Above & Beyond delivering more ethereal vocals combined with epic drops! It sounds like it could be a standard trance track they’d blast out in clubs, but it’s wonderfully surprising! This one came from a contact juggling video by Cyrille & Kyle. ...

Solitude released another mix a week and bit ago – all Synkro tracks this time. I’ve been toying with the idea of throwing together a mix all composed of a single artist’s tracks and this has definitely reinforced the idea that I ought to do it! This is my favourite track from the mix. When I heard it, it made fun things happen in my brain! Specifically, it really reminds me of being at Burning Man. ...

Beats Antique have released a new album called Blind Threshold and it’s rather tasty. It’s also downloadable for free from their site, though I’d recommend donating to them regardless – they’re an amazing collective of musicians and deserve your support!

My friend Tina pointed me at this rather incredible DJ who periodically makes very chilled dubstep-y mixes. The mixes are over an hour and a half long and they flow from incredibly chilled to energetic without being in-your-face like a lot of dubstep is. To me, the difference between full-on *‘wob-wob-wob-wob’* dubstep and the more relaxed flavours is that while the former assaults your senses with sound, the latter has some spaces in the music for your thoughts and lets you experience the music better as you aren’t trying to fight off waves of sensory overload. ...

I have a whole bunch of things to share this time around. I’ve been largely ignoring this blog, except as a glorified link dump. Which has worked surprisingly well, actually! So today, I have not only music, but awesome miscellanea to share with the Internets. The first thing is Welder’s new track: https://youtu.be/pbRm5gis2nY It’s pretty relaxed and takes a while to wind up to full speed, but it’s wonderful to listen to. ...

Came across this on Beatport – it’s a track on Simplify Records and it’s a lovely dark, moody, yet chilled dubstep-ish sort of noise. Well worth a listen to. It’s a great mix between the almost grimy side of dubstep and delicious acoustic sounds without assaulting your senses! Grab it on Beatport if you want to support the artist! Honestly, do it. It’ll make you a better human being, somehow! ...

Here are a couple of tracks I came across on one of the iTunes ambient radio stations. Sadly I forget which one, so I can’t really credit it with awesome music but that doesn’t detract from the awesome factor! httpv://youtu.be/eeev3HGBi8o httpv://youtu.be/pn8-qRGBrXA
