Chillout Track Of The Day: “Barber’s Adagio For Strings” – William Orbit

I remember when this came out, thirty one years ago, and it was put on a lot of chill out CDs specifically the Ibiza chill out ones which I thought was an odd choice because when I thought Ibiza I associated it with dance music. But then there’s also the need to wind down – …

Fresh Faves: Batch 612

AROUND ABOUT DUSK- without you Around About Dusk · Without You This has such a World War II era jazz feel to it, none of the gloss that came later on, but the kind you’d expect in the background of a period drama. This could be playing in the background on a grainy gramophone, at …

Fresh Faves: Batch 610

AZU YUCHE – Weak Azu Yeché · Weak Azu Yeché opens the faves this week with something a little special.. This has the classic soul around it, I’d even go as far as to say this has neo soul vibes – it reminds me of D’Angelo with those guitar licks! Clean tone! Add to that …
