Downbeat Lounge Selection (Vol. 7) July 2016

Downbeat Lounge Selection - May 2016 (Vol. 7) by E-ROK

Ah! It's a few days into June - but here's the May 2016 Downbeat Lounge Selection (Vol. 7) - featuring 15 tracks I've been enjoying and discovering in June.

Shout out to my favorite tracks in the mix: "Borchi" by Silva, Break Science remix of "Fu-Gee-La", "Toucan Wing" by BoomBaptist, and "Child of the Universe" by Frits Wentink.

As always, this is an eclectic mix of glitch, trip hop, downtempo, chillout and deep house. Enjoy!

Stoked Lounge - New E-ROK Downtempo Mix

I played a few hours the other night for the Stoked crew in NYC. This is a group of amazing people - snowboarders, surfers, skaters and supporters who work with kids in NYC to give them adult mentorship and positive life guidance. Their vibe and energy is a perfect match with my DJ style. Check out this sample of the night.

It's not an E-ROK mix without some Thievery Corporation, Gramatik, Quantic style - bringing that funky downtempo eclectic vibe to life!

MENdar - West Coast Podcast Mixtape Contest 2016 (Deep House)

This is a FLAWLESS deep house mix by MENdar. It's equal parts mysterious, trance-y, deep and melodic. I love every second of it. The flow grabs you. The track selection is perfect, and the transitions are smooth and deceptively simple (but in a very good way). This mix is amazing.

New E-ROK MiniMix: Saturday House Experiment

I was feeling house-y this morning, so I made a mix. Check it out - it's a minimix of a few songs I've been jamming to lately. Some new, some old and classic (Trentemoller!!!!)

Thornato - Things Will Change EP / Chapinero Single

I'm absolutely jamming to this new track "Chapinero" by Thornato - a NYC based producer on Wonderwheel Records (Nickodemus, Zeb, Sid Vaga, Spy From Cairo, more).

"Chapinero" is a worldly house track with dance floor tribal percussion, wood wind gusts and trap inspired rhythms. The song is pure fun and very flexible - you can play it in any party DJ set and use it as a feature track or sample this thing all over the place to create your own monster floor mover.

This is the first time I've heard of Thornato, the producer on Wonderwheel. His album carries the vibe of "Chapinero" through a few other songs, and its a fantastic EP. Anything that comes out on Wonderwheel is going to be interesting, and this stays true. I highly recommend it.
