It has been a great start to the new year for the EDM scene that we all live and breathe; heavy bangers officially dropped in Steve Aoki’s Wonderland and the genre blending geniuses behind Big Gigantic are releasing Nocturnal for free at midnight. However, it’s time to take a more laid-back approach to the start of this week and bring back the Too Chill on Tuesday.
This week we have 7 incredibly groove worthy tracks, step inside to check them all!
big ups to intern Brendan for these…
What starts out as a Sigur Ros-sounding indie track (complete with beautiful vocals) drops into some downtempo bassy goodness that never gets too loud. Check out Ianborg’s new remix of Foxes’ “Home” and get ready for his full EP on the horizon.
This next tune is the latest free track given out by our boy Minnesota. “Jetstream,” has a very trippy melodic vibe, something that Christian is not new to at all.
After the exciting announcement that At Dawn We Rage has been added to the Snow Ball Festival lineup in Avon, CO, this chill track is a breath of fresh air from their normally intense, grimy dubstep songs.
Why is it that people always nail the Benny Benassi remixes? It seems like sometimes they are even better than the originals. This beautiful relaxing song will put you in the right mood to take on the rest of the week.
Download: Benny Benassi – Come Fly Away (Dash Total’d remix)
This is quite possibly the best mashup that I have ever heard, which is saying a lot given most mashups are the bane of my existence. I may be biased for loving the xx and Deadmau5 / Kaskade, but I haven’t heard vocals go along so well with a different song in a while. Romy Madley Croft adding her beautiful voice to an already beautiful instrumental makes this track a winner.
When Rusko surprised us with a great Christmas present of his 2006-2010 remixes in studio versions, it was the best gift fans could ask for. This remix of a Mr. Hudson song is probably the most chill song on the album, allowing for you to kick back, relax and enjoy the calming womping.
Download: Mr. Hudson – White Lies (Rusko’s Euphoria mix)
Alex B does it again with this chill wobbly one. It can definitely get a crowd moving, yet it still has that calming vibe that is perfect to close out this week’s TCT. Check it
Download: The Weeknd -Same Old Song (Paper Diamond Remix)
