Noire ambient, classy suits, funny cigarettes, a jazz ambiance cocktail bar, do you smell it? oh yes, crime needs to be resolved, probably a spy or an undercover cop is on the chase right now, I know it is a weird comparison but I personally got this scene on my head when I listen to "Grape Choice" by tajima hal, A track to keep you grooving al day.
You can feel how the jazz sample used in the intro adds this somewhat soft-obscure-smooth ambiance but the hip-hop beat pour some stress to the whole thing, it's spicy, it's hot also at the same time the sub-bass fights with the bass as they constantly switch during the song, the lead melody and the background piano compound a perfect combination of sounds. As the two main forces of our spy movie on a game of luck and intelligence, probably playing poker watching each other with suspicious stares or in the middle of a chase on foot all over downtown, the scene is all yours to let your mind fly and enjoy.

This track is chill, psychedelic, like a mix, between a late-night walk and an outer space odyssey, crazy keys and burning sax solo, there are so many little details I enjoy of this track, is like if every time I listen to it I keep discovering more stuff on it, more sounds, more melodies, is just layers and layers of galaxies for our ears to explore, definitely looking forward to the full thing.

This week’s track was seasoned and cooked at home. I am the worst critic of my work, always slapping my own little mistakes on my face and telling myself how bad my mix was…
