An Introduction To SOHN.
Damn Sohn, Where Did You Find This One?
…ever since i heard “The Wheel” somewhen around last spring i was hooked and if you like your music atmospheric, moody, mostly dark, with cutting edge production and the Zeigeist feel of today and the spacey tenderness of James Blake… Congrats! You have just reached the next evolutionary level. Enter SOHN who popped up out of nowhere – at least on my radar – and ever since has proven himself to be a very reliable source for quality music with a distinctive feel to it. The texture’s mostly organic, even though he labels his work as electronic, and the feelings transported sound like the combined feel of the modern day singer songwriters. Very ambient based with hints of beatmaking and the sheer reduction of dominant elements. Man must be smoking some good herb. Ask him where he got it from on his : Facebook ::: Soundcloud ::: Website : and ESPECIALLY his YOUtUBE channel
The Name Dinner Date may not ring a bell, but honestly everyone and i mean literally everyone seems to know his Jose Gonzales Rmx “Crosses”. I heard this tune getting played wherever i went and in whatever spot i had a chai in for the entirety of last year. A mellow folky anthem underined and laced with an addictive groove. It was even one of our top tunes for last year and his latest effort, a remix of Angus & Julia Stone’s “All Of Me” was another of our favourites. And also being a native of our hometown i had to go investigate :) So it is of no surprise that i asked the man for his currents and these Top Ten songs are his favourite tracks at the moment, packed into a nifty playlist. Have fun

Caution! When Listening To This Tune On Your Hedaphones, You Might Start High Fiving Random Strangers!
This is one of those, uber cheerful ‘everythings all right and i’m walking down the streets while having too much fun’ type of songs that need to be in one of those older Adam Sandler movies when the good guy has won and it’s all big happy hollywood clichee endings with the entire street cheering and high fiving the hero. Architecture in Helsinki delivers again. Love it. Needs to be played on Radio Awesome To The Max Power Jam FM 3000.
Happiness Can Only Be Found On The Inside, But This Song Is A Very Good Stimulation

I Feel Like Jumping… Or Doing One Of Those Silly Dances!
Make sure to do as the lyrics in this beautiful remake tell you to. And don’t listen to this before going to bed! It’ll have you up and dancing as soon as the beat drops, and it’ll take you at least another hour before finally going to sleep. I honestly wish more songs like this were played in clubs and at parties.

18 Best 90ies Broken Beat Jazzy Jams Playlist By MUNK!
Old buddy of mine and absolute producer veteran, and vet on the turntables is Gommas own MUNK who has been around for as long as i can remember. He is mostly know for his current productions under that same moniker and his globally reknowned GOMMA label. But seriously, dude knows way more than that! In the mid-late 90ies he was part of the epicentre of that whole jazzy broken beat UK sound that was sweeping the planet and maybe sowed the ground for todays bedroom turned boiler room producers. So since that whole ‘Trip Hop’ sound has somewhat of a renaissance in the day and age of post dubstep – i asked him for a playlist from back then and boy did he deliver…
This Is What The 90s Really Sounded Like!
I do remember most of the playlist, but i didn’t know we would have such a hard time finding it online. There are gems here that the world forgot about which need to be repackaged and reworked. Sidenote to all the kids reading this, before you sample some 90s r&b (again) for your 70-140 bpm tracks try some of the material on here, and seriously. The 90s was about way more than the Fresh Prince & Aalyiah! Here is a lesson in sound! You will recognize some of the names, especially those we added later on, since we couldn’t find half (?) of his original playlist and almost broke Google. Enjoy this playlist and take a trip down memory lane, or get an introduction to the superior effect that jazzy monotonous music has in combination with weed.
