🌈 Rainbow Pitstop [Jazztronica | Nu Jazz | Fusion | Jazzhop | Electrojazz | Neo Soul | Progressive]

Presenting ‘Vines’; the second single from Haquin’s debut album, featuring a saxophone section from Sandy Finlayson, a.k.a. @Seppamusic who was also involved with mixing and mastering the album. 

Originally intended as a half time jazzy dnb track, Vines morphed as an instrumental for multiple iterations before Sandy’s saxophone guided the final progressive composition. The song blends the familiar flavours of chillhop and cinematic soundscapes a la Ólafur Arnalds, with an emotive and journey-like arrangement.

Drifting through sun-soaked skies and Miami vibes, this chill instrumental from Gas Lab & Paul Grant blends smooth synths, jazzy basslines, and crisp drums. With its aquatic lofi textures and laid-back groove, Ocean Bubbles captures the essence of a carefree summer — perfect for beach drives, poolside moments, or simply unwinding under the sun. A refreshing soundwave from Buenos Aires and beyond.
