Sunday Sundowns 6/4/23

Until I heard Phaeleh and Boxcutter in 2010, I had largely dismissed dubstep as angsty and dark, and without much of a soul that I could connect with. Phaeleh elevated the dubstep sound with trip hop and ambient downtempo — a sound that felt fresh at the time.

Phaeleh’s latest album, A New Day, was released earlier this year, and once again reminded me of a side of dubstep I love. Some call it “chillstep”, but when I go looking in that genre I don’t usually find much to my liking. This mix is inspired by the track “Resolve” off this new album.

The end of the mix drops into some dubstep inspired, pop-laden dub. Enjoy!
