The Chillout Lounge Mix - Rapture
Music to take you to another place of existence, wishing you all a much better year ahead. New sounds and also a look back at some of this years quality releases that are not to be missed.
Kicking off this mix with a captivating collaboration of Swedish producer and classically trained musician Boerd and British multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Rondo Mo with a track called Ready (Anjunadeep). Independently, both musicians have continued to turn heads in recent years with their own artist projects. Two tracks next by Niklas Paschburg (from the superb label 7K!) who is on constant repeat here, drawing inspiration from Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds, Niklas has his own style which is just as beautiful. Two tracks from Gelka (Café del Mar) who collaborates with Forteba, lots of quality sounds to choose from here. Joris Voorn (Spectrum / BMG) Mano from ‘\\\\’ LP gets remixed by the superb Aparde who always has his own original sound and style, great to see both these artists working together. Verboten Berlin (Vertigo Capitol) Symmetry is remixed by the utterly gifted Rodriguez Jr. Very happy to see SG Lewis (who this show supported early on) doing great on various labels, Feed The Fire (Kassian Instrumental) fitted best in this mix, you can pre-order his debut album Times (Universal Music) which is out mid February 2021 here. Lorenzo Dada on Los Angeles label Culprit next with an EP called Very Personal, Clarian Remix in here to check out also. Christian Löffler always delivers the highest quality music, had to include Fate from Parallels (Beethoven) (Deutsche Grammophon). Tengger - Solongo (7K!) is a stunning ambient atmosphere perfect for sunsets. Captures (Earthly Measures) brings an intelligent and emotional sound always. The huge talent Cristophe Goze shares his latest track Coeur Grenadine which has a lovely calming blissful vibe. Marc Hartman - What I need (Lemongrassmusic) is a real beauty and mixed very nicely with Machinedrum - Star feat. Mono/Poly & Tanerélle (Ninja Tune). Finishing off with Lake Turner (Kompakt Records) who made one of my favourite albums this year Videosphere.
