Chillcast #279: Trippy

This week we explore some of the trippier new releases that I’ve been diggin’ but wasn’t sure how to fit in between chillout lounge and deep house. This is a chill set featuring intriguing vocals — many with interesting use of reverb or delay — and plenty of mood. The second half goes more soulful, with a heavy Swedish influence. I think this mix sounds really summery with distinct hints of late night vibe. Turn on your lava lights for this one! Oh, and be sure to grab the amazing free downloads included below.

Both The Stepkids and Thundercat have been huge musical obsessions for me this summer. The Colonel Red cut has been growing on me this week; I find myself singing it at random. And I don’t know what made Christian Prommer and Jazzanova’s Alex Barck get together and make an album, but I am forever grateful.

Thank you for a wonderful show. Have a great weekend…
