The set opens with a track that is both warm and eerie, as Joris’s atmospheric synths meet Sky Civilian’s vocals in “Open Door - Joris Voorn Edit”.

The next two tracks are from Voorn’s latest album, Four, released in 2019. With “District Seven (Broken Mix)” and “Life,” long lead synths, rhythmic plucks, and lush pads take us into the danceable landscapes of his dreamy electronic soundscapes.

The fourth track, “Float - Mixed”, is the newest in this set (released in 2020 on a DJ mix compilation by Joris) yet goes back to old-school house sounds.

“Ringo” closes today’s set with a very analog, jazzy instrumental vibe. Released over 11 years ago, its melancholic vibe is enhanced by ethereal synth pads and a gentle bassline, giving the track a timeless feel that’s suited to both late-night sets and home listening.

This week's playlist features chilled yet still danceable instrumental music - let's put nostalgic and dark tunes on the shelf for now. Play:

• “Westminster” - Blue Boatz: Tom Sherman (a.k.a. Blue Boatz) is a multi-instrumentalist from Toronto with just three tracks available on streaming platforms, yet he has already accumulated millions of streams. "Westminster" is the most relaxed track in this set, featuring a warm and slightly nostalgic piano (there must be a pinch of a nostalgia in every set… sorry!), a trumpet, an electric piano, and smooth, warm guitar solos.

• “Kong” & “Cirrus” - Bonobo: Two of Bonobo's top five most-streamed tracks. "Kong" combines warm guitar melodies, wind instruments, and an addictive bass line layered with soft vocal sounds. "Cirrus" offers bright percussive sounds, including a hang pan and mallets, all laid over a distorted bass line. These elements define Bonobo's signature vibe.

• “Muy Tranquilo” - Gramatik: A soulful piano, groovy beat and guitar solos makes this track the number one on Gramatik's Spotify profile. It has garnered hundreds of millions of streams across all platforms.

This week’s set is devoted to Lorn (Marcos Ortega), an American electronic music producer known for his original, mysterious, and cinematic tracks filled with deep bass and apocalyptic themes. Play and read on:

Distorted synths, massive basslines that cut and return with intensity, echoes of raw and industrial percussive elements, spaces saturated with post-apocalyptic pads and textures, and haunting, modulated vocals occasionally layered with melancholic, dark harmonies - these are some of the elements you’ll find in Lorn’s productions.

Some might say it’s hard to dance to this kind of music (I’d agree!), but that didn’t stop artists from creating a video for “Acid Rain,” which won the Best Dance Music Video category at the UK Music Video Awards in 2015.

Ortega’s unique style has led to his tracks being featured in video games, movies, and TV shows, including Ghost in the Shell, CSI, and Silicon Valley.

Enjoy the darkness,
