Chasing the Dragon

Diplo

A hazy, psychedelic detour into downtempo and trip-hop. Dusty drum breaks and tape-saturated melodies create a submerged, dreamlike atmosphere.

Find on Amazon

It's Diplo's secret psychedelic trip-hop record that sounds like a lost 90s classic.

A hazy, submerged journey through nostalgic textures and slow-motion psychedelic grooves.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the drums on 'Close Your Eyes' feel like they are being played through a thick velvet curtain.
The transition into the shimmering, aquatic synth pads on the final track's sprawling five-minute outro.
The ghostly, pitched-down vocal sample that anchors the rhythmic pulse of 'Yesterday's Dream'.
