In my neck of the woods, the weather has been fairly dismal the last several months. Spring was supposed to come in April, but winter was extended well into last week. Today is the first that it is not only beautiful outside, but also 80 degrees. Here then is a playlist of chilled out tunes I've been enjoying lately from various artists, as I say goodbye to the last of winter, and hello to the forthcoming summer sunshine.

"Short and sweet, Wes MacDonald (Faex Optim) and Elijah Franks (PBS’73) can’t do any wrong be it together or on their own. Their collaboration release on Magic Square is a splendid mixture of downtempo—a blurring of the senses, surreal landscapes, and fragments of yesteryear. Four pieces transcending space and time, augmented drums and found-sounds, faded voices, and visions of childhood memories are the focal point for the digital imprint. With these two talented musicians behind this mysterious sonic smorgasbord, time becomes a figment of ones imagination. The music culled from fluid instrumental planes is meant for a calm listening environment, which allows Poppy Tears to open up as a pleasant sojourn through faraway mirrors reflecting visual sounds."

Learning Station

The Undefeated

I Can See For Miles

So this place came back to me tonight and I wanted to make a track for those memories and the time past. 10 years ago I had the best time of my life in Playa del Carmen in El Deseo. Just wonderful and happy times for me. On most nights I was there, there was the same DJ who played amazing tracks. I remember once he played a track by Joakim and that got me to talk to him being from Paris too. He was a wonderful person. So here's to you mister dj, 10 years later.
If you know that place in Playa leave a comment below ; )
