Flute Driven, Chill House

With every passing day, I feel more and more like that kid who grabbed the end of the kite string, only to be led around by the wind on a wild adventure. The wind that I speak of is the current state of EDM. It's a powerful force right now that continues to rapidly change directions and take the form of many different manifestations.

One of the manifestations I'm really starting to take a liking to is Chill House. The use of synthesizers as the foundation for easy listening music driven by woodwinds has a lot of potential in my mind. I posted a Sam Feldt remix of Mumford and Sons a few weeks back, but he's starting to emerge as a stand out artist. His new track with De Hofnar is cheerfully upbeat, marked by a memorable symphony of flutes and cascade of strings that take you on an adventure. If you're looking to rage, this one definitely wouldn't make the playlist, but it works in any other setting because of how seamlessly it's put together...#Bloesem

Feel Good Dance Track for Labor Day

I'll admit, I've been sitting on this one for about a month now, but it's the type of smooth, feel good track that embodies what a day off should feel like. It's hard to ignore the saxophone's ability to inspire a crowd and De Hofnar showed exactly why that's the case on his new-ish track Vogelvlucht.

If you don't speak Dutch, according to the translated Wikipedia Vogelvlucht is "the collective term for the various ways in which birds move in flight." To put it succinctly, I bet you didn't think you'd a smooth jazz dance track having to do Ornithology on the blog today, did you? Just felt like keeping you on your toes today since Google tells me less people come to read on holidays. For those of you that do, I sincerely appreciate it and I hope you'll open your mind up to something inspirational and different today...#HappyLaborDay
