Finding Calm in Chaos: Let Chill-Step Heal your Soul (Cheer Up!)


AZEDIA – Something (Rameses B Remix)

Something’s wrong… but I don’t know what…
Wondering how, with all the things I’ve got…
Life is good… but the pain don’t stop
Cuz’ I’m holding on, so I’d give it up…

Cheer up, (put a smile on your face)
Wake up, (take me out of this place)
Rise up, (we are the human race)
Cheer up, put a smile on your face…

XYLO – Afterlife Ark Patrol Remix

We got old, we got older…
We got big, we got bigger…

Some days, weeks, months, moments in time just hit you right in the feels. You feel stressed, life’s moving a million minutes a second and things change in the blink of an eye…

And then you land on some nice chill-step. For me personally, on repeat for days on end. The mind calms. Images of waves breaking on the shore, the sun rising over a verdant valley with mountains lining the backdrop. Home (well, sonically at least).

These two featured songs really take me back to the 2010s era of dubstep and electronic music. It may have a bit to do with the fact they both were released during this same era, but in a way, they’re still timeless. That sonic sound of the beginnings of melodic dubstep. It just hits in the brain just right.

Enjoy.

[Chill/House:] NVDES – Louì

NVDES are back at it again with a chill house cut 🎧


[Chill House/Ambient/Big Room:] NVDES – Louí

 

Check out this chill house cut from NVDES. The group has been gaining popularity after their song “D.Y.T. (Do Your Thing)” appeared in an Apple commercial for different styles of camera lighting.

Like “Do Your Thing,” “Louí” has a very chill vibe, even more so than the former. Lush house vibes and a calm, but steady beat are refreshingly reassuring for the house genre as a whole.

[Ambient Future House:] Robbie G & Cureton – Here’s My Heart


[Ambient Future House/Chill House:]
Robbie G & Cureton – Here’s My Heart

After all the heavy EDM posts I figured I’d get back to some melodic and relaxing music. Selected music always has great choices when it comes to these categories and Robbie G & Cureton’s “Here’s My Heart” is no different. Filtered vocals, ambient chords and synths and boom clap percussions characteristic of ambient and future house combine for a melodic and entrancing ride in electronic music.

[Deep House/Chill Bass] WHTKD – WHTNSE (LTGTR Remix)

LTGTR does the impossible, stepping up WHTKD’s re-make of Disclosure’s “White Noise.”


[Deep House] WHTKD – WHTNSE (LTGTR Remix)

 

Probably one of the best takes on Disclosure’s “White Noise.” Opting for a re-make WHTKD’s atmospheric, deep House cut “WHTNSE” is truly remarkable. The already incredible tune is amped up to a level one may not have thought possible by LTGTR. Adding waves of futuristic synths and channeling WHTKD’s version into a more dance steady BPM, there is little to be desired of LTGTR’s remix. If you are a fan of house, deep house, chill house, chill wave/step, just chill shit, this one should become a regular in your playlists.

[Electronic/House] Two Friends – Overdose (TRU Concept Remix) // Snakehips – Don’t Leave (feat. MØ)

Check out these two new house tracks, fresh for 2017, from artists, Two Friends remixed by TRU Concept & Snakehips.


[Electronic/House]
Two Friends – Overdose (TRU Concept Remix)

I want you til’ I overdose…

Today we’re bringing you some fresh house music for your listening ears. Two Friends  bring futuristic house blended with melodic chords and vocals resulting in the calming, yet uplifting “Overdose.” This remix by TRU Concept adds layers of chill, future house to the song, in place of the more dubstep-y, pop-dance fusion that is the original. Start your 2017 on the good foot with this track, hosted by selected. music, and check out others from their music group below.

[Electronic/Pop]
Snakehips – Don’t Leave (feat. MØ)

Don’t leave
Shut your mind off and let your heart breathe
You don’t need to be worried
I may not ever get my shit together
But ain’t nobody gonna love you better

Next up, Snakehips dance-house affair, “Don’t Leave” featuring MØ brings high-energy and atmospheric vocals; ones that only the voice behind Major Lazer’s “Lean On” could bring. Layers of synth sounds and calming effects mix well on this track, and though it’s initial feel is a bit like “dance-pop” there is still a very awe-inspiring deepness inherent in “Don’t Leave.” Check out the song above and check out other songs I’ve reviewed by Snakehips here and here.

[R&B EDM Remixes] Mario Winans – I Don’t Wanna Know (Zoo#Clique Edit) // Destiny’s Child – Say My Name (Synthetic Epiphany Remix)

Check out these two exceptional remixes of these iconic R&B singers: Destiny’s Child & Mario Winans


[R&B EDM Remixes] [Deep House/R&B]
Mario Winans – I Don’t Wanna Know (Zoo#Clique Edit)

Today, we’ve got two great EDM remixes of two very classic R&B tunes that are a throwback to early ’00s rhythm and blues music.

First up, a chill down-tempo, but still massive remix of Mario Winans “I Don’t Wanna Know” coming to us from CDeep Music’s Youtube Channel. The Zoo#Clique Remix expounds on the original adding layers of atmospheric deep ambient house, clublike basslines and rhythms and slowed vocals. This remix certainly does the original justice retaining most of the elements from the original, save for the stupidly sick sample of The Fugees “Ready or Not,” but that’s forgivable. Nevertheless, don’t miss out on this awesome track and summer 2016 ambient-chill banger! Download it for free!

[Ambient Future R&B]
Destiny’s Child – Say My Name (Synthetic Epiphany Remix)

Next, from the legendary R&B trio Destiny’s Child comes an epic remix of one of their most well known and popular single’s “Say My Name.” Destiny’s Child and its individual members are no strangers to remixes (especially of the electronic variety; check out a few under this post). The Synthetic Epiphany Remix re-imagines the R&B bopping anthem as a chill house club single that’ll round off nights with its building layers of ambiance, future sounds and throwback nostalgia.

[Dance House]
Beyonce – Greenlight (Freemasons Remix)

[New Music] [Future House/Electronic] Palastic – Side Note (feat. LissA)

New Future House from Palastic is a sure fire summer ’16 anthem, combining elements of bass and chill.


[Songs from Youtube, Courtesy of “La Belle Musique” Group]

Just in time for the spring/summer like weather (at least in the ATL), comes a fresh new Future-House track with plenty of bass, futuristic synths and female vocals reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, Rozes, or Wild Belle and the like. “Side Note” featuring LissA is a smooth ride into chilled out female vocals, that soon ramps up into the futuristic synth chords. What makes it shine above your average future-house track however is the high-quality vocals, as well as a moving, eargasmic melody played in the background (like by the piano/horns). This song is great for bumping in the whip or at home while melting into its hodge-podge of EDM’s pop side with Future House’s crescendoing melodies.
