shallou – Fading
The songs rhythm is so lovable even while the message the track speaks is wistful in nature. There’s a nice backdrop of bass that carries this beauty along, which is part of the reason why I believe listeners will in the end not walk away feeling somber yet instead enlightened.
KOAN Sound – Lost In Thought
“Lost In Thought” by KOAN Sound is mystic beauty. It’s a song that allows your mind to drift carefree within a satin sea, providing peace to the soul, while also at times driving ones thoughts to fire, in turn sharpening the mind. This work of art has a wide encompassment of classifications including Drum & Bass, Super Chill, Chill, and Upbeat Chill.
Linkin Park – Shadow Of The Day (Echos Cover)
Echos put a powerful spin on a classic I’ve loved since its initial release. Give this song a listen through to the finish, as it was certainly the most moving part for us. Linkin Park has had a profound effect on the way Echos craft their music and I think this cover did the original justice.
RL Grime – Atoms Ft. Jeremy Zucker
There are songs in life that are so magical they cement themselves in time as life itself. Since we’ve been on an RL Grime rampage as of late why not feature yet another one of his works! So without further ado, I present to you “Atoms” by the notorious RL Grime.
Blackmill – Evil Beauty
f one wishes to melodically transcend they should refer to the piece titled “Evil Beauty” by Blackmill, one of chillest artists known in present time. The track is coming up on a decade of age but it still holds a dumb founding presence within the music community.
Proximity – Best EDM of 2010-2019 (Decade Mix)
Boy oh boy do we have a massive decade mix that’s going to take the listener on a mental and auditory rollercoaster as we blast through the past of EDM hits and classics, which for many are the cornerstone of their music discovery experience.
Absofacto – Dissolve
Known elusively as Jonathan Visger, the talented musician started sparking up his career down over in Michigan, to soon then take over the indie rock scene in early 2008. “Dissolve” happened to be one of his stand along singles just like “History Books” another great work of his I’d recommend.
Luna Shadows – Waves
Luna Shadows being the talented artist she is, can not only sing beautifully, she is also a fantastic writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Listening to “Waves” the audience really gets a grasp of what Luna is capable of as her lyrics in the hit “Waves” are woven so wonderfully into the song;
Tove Lo – Habits (Oliver Nelson Remix)
Oliver Nelson really knows how to make any time a great time with the jams he creates. Wither your wrapping gifts for your upcoming Uncles 50th, banging out the laundry that’s been well over due, or simply tending the garden in preparation for the Spring months ahead, his music will surely make you feel giddy as Poo Bear when he encounters fresh frothy pot of honey.
Lincoln Jesser Ft. Yuna – Baby Boy (Famba Remix)
A thoughtful take on the Lincoln Jesser & Yuna original, Famba provides a great soundscape in his rendition of “Baby Boy” that allows the listener to drift off with their thoughts turning any day into optimum delight. Smooth vocals, a clean arp, and a driving beat provide a powerful showcase of the importance to act in accordance with a desired path.
Bjonr Ft. Tom Bailey – Waiting
Bjonr keeps impressing me with his incredible production value that is not only captivating, but inspires the listener to move forward with optimism and a smile on big bright smile from cheek to cheek. The vocals, in essence, pass on a heartwarming feeling the community has described as an emanation of emotions capable of invigorating the soul with vitality.
KYLE. Ft. Wiz Khalifa – Moment
You heard me, step the fk up baby and show me what you got, because I know you all got what it takes out there. Everyone holds a hidden talent, and if it’s rapping, I want to see you out there firing up everything you have inside baby. When you hit that mic I want you to hit it hard.
G Jones – In Your Head (RL Grime Edit)
If you are looking to get completely obliterated, it is my recommendation that you immediately crank out to RL Grimes Edit of “In Your Head”, it will surely make your head spin in the best of ways. The original by G Jones is also fantastic, so if we’re being honest here I’d make sure you listen to both.
Big Wild – Joypunks
“Joypunks” features infectious vocal chops and energy capable of turning a bad day around or enhancing already present positivity. It’s certainly a favorite of mine which says a lot given the amount of time I’ve listened to the artist.
New Navy – Zimbabwe (Flume Remix)
This classic, ‘super chill’ remix by Flume is a fine example of what the young Australian artists has to offer. The track will truly envelope your senses with waves of rhythm that transport the listener through Flume’s highway, which he describes as a “clear blue skyway.” Truly one for the deep thinker.
NVDES – Do You Think About Me (filous Remix)
NVDES release ‘Do You Think About Me’ has been stuck in my head since I first heard it. After seeing it remixed by filous, I was eager to hear the outcome as I’ve been a fan of filous since basically the dawn of time, even if he’s only around 20 years old. The rendition is so catchy and provides a wonderful new feel to the original.
Cape Cub – Moonglow
The discovery of Cape Cub came about from their hit release “Swim” and from then the development into a massive fan of their work came rapidly within a short amount of time . Now we are presented with Cape Cub’s first full band single, “Moonglow” which brings the signature sound I was hoping for and with an even more inspirational touch than we expected, in addition.
GTA x Party Favor – Work It Out
Sometimes I like to get a little wild over here at Affinity Ascension so thank the skies that Party Favor & GTA came through with the goods containing their new release ‘Work It Out’, which has house shaking capabilities as well as potential to light up festival raves to grand proportions. It’s a banger that can be easily worked into a hard mix especially with the astral outro upon conclusion of the song.
NGHTMRE & Pell – Swiss / Lights Low
It’s always lovely to have a new audio experience from an artist you have followed for a while so naturally the NGTHMRE & Pell team-up was a breath of fresh air. I have a tendency to be extra selective when it comes to rap & hip hop but felt this was an organic culmination of sound between the two artists that flowed effortlessly, and naturally.
Arc North – Sweet Sunshine
After much consideration I can say without a doubt in my mind that this is one of the best tracks that I have ever listened to. The heavenly flurry of electronic elements Arc sourced alongside the insanely inspiring vocal exposition filled every square inch of my being with immersive pleasure.
