REDUX: Dylan Stark – Shelter

April 6, 2017 Redux

Back in September of 2015, lost somewhere in the middle of the month-long Seattle music celebration that once was Decibel Festival, I found myself standing in the upper deck of The Crocodile watching over the venue as the crowd waited for Stwo to take the stage. Little did I realize that the highlight of the show would actually be the support, Dylan Stark. Having felt slightly out of place in a night fueled by trap and DJ sets, Stark broughtRead More

Haquin – Vrddhi

April 5, 2017 New Music

A new artist to us here at Café Chill, Haquin delivers some new music to accompany the seasons change! Based out of Leeds, England, Haquin brings us an almost meditative and calming avant-garde (or avant-chill, according to his tags) sound reminiscent of the affably sporadic blooms, blossoms, scents and colors of spring time. To further emphasize the idea and beauty of this season, the song title “Vṛddhi” is a Sanskrit term for “growth”. How absolutely fitting. Have a listen to Haquin’sRead More

Chrome Sparks – Wake

March 8, 2017 New Music

Chrome Sparks caught us with a surprise release this week! After his release of 2016’s catchy and detuned “All or Nothing” featuring Angelica Bess of Body Language, we’ve been waiting for an album and tour announcement.

As we slowly roll out of the winter months, anticipating the yearly return of the sweetly scented cherry blossoms and the spirit of the sun, we turn to artist Feverkin for one last intimate gathering around the old wood stove. Following the release of his enchanting 2016 EP “From Your Window”, Feverkin has taken on the Calendar Project in a monthly effort to refine his already brilliant audio production talents and brush up on visual production. February pairs Feverkin withRead More

Pines – Tell Me (ft. Water Park)

March 1, 2017 New Music

Our Adelaide-based buddies PINES are back, bringing us a fresh collaboration with a second Australian duo named Water Park. The song is driven by a flux of soft saw-wave synths, and gently guides us along with contemplative and halcyon vocals. In addition to the new release, PINES has announced that they will be performing and hanging out at SXSW, March 10-19 in Austin, TX. Keep your eyes peeled!

Lusine – Slow Motion

February 28, 2017 New Music

Seattle-based producer Lusine has come back with a tune sure to catch your attention. His new single Slow Motion is held tightly together with familiar melodies of gentle analog synths dancing and ducking in either ear, slowly leading into a swirl of reversed field-recordings and textures. Slow Motion is the second single off of Lusine’s upcoming album “Sensorimotor”, due out March 3rd under Ghostly International. Listen:
