November 2019 Playlist
It’s been a hot and apocalyptic looking month with smoke haze blanketing Sydney from the recent fires that have devastated NSW. This month’s playlist is whole new kind of fire.
Starting off with an ambient track from USA born, Netherlands based, DJ and producer, Terekke, with Evaporainin. Fast, sporadic droplets fade in as soft warm synths eventually engulf the vast space that this composition delivers. It takes me away to a temperate, timeless rainforest with endless gorges, and mountains as far as the eye can see. Pure, serene, isolated bliss.
Easing you into the flow of this playlist, Tilman, a German DJ and Producer, has created a smooth groove remix of SIlkworm’s TTB-11TD track. A damp bass line sample sits in the background as a sharp hi-hat and rubbery bass set the tempo. Subtle intricate layers are introduced to form new branches. The thick, wet and deep synth adds texture to the clean cut sounds it’s surrounded by. A delicious melodic execution.
Continuing on the melodic trail, but with a nice slice of jazz, is an Aussie DJ and Producer from Newcastle, Soul Wun, with Experience Life. This gritty lounge track has an elegant balance of jazzy smoothness and rough textural elements that work in glorious harmony. The dirty underground bass line provides a solid foundation for the clean and crisp elements to shine.
Ricky Razu is back with another cracking track! Upping the tempo slightly, but continuing the smoothness, is Without U by this silky Belgium. Initially, I thought this was going to be a real hard hitting club track, but was pleasantly surprised when these beautifully soft chords came into focus. I have been listening to this track on repeat A LOT. Without U has such a hopeful vibe to it. From the nostalgic female vocals to the short guitar stabs, this track has everything to keep you moving.
I’m a sucker for piano and this track is no exception. Tour-Maubourg, the French DJ and Producer has come up with stunning composition, Amicalement Votre. Translating to ‘Yours, amicably’, this is as smooth as they come. This track invites you into a world of pristine service, high-class entertainment, and sophisticated company. I can’t get enough of this classy number.
Until next month, enjoy responsibly.
