DA’s Sunday Morning Medicine

Sunday Morning Medicine is a feature from Dancing Astronaut dedicated to the mellower side of electronic music. We bring you our favorite therapeutic selections — old and new — in an attempt to alleviate the agonizing effects of a long weekend of partying.

Now that the insanity of Miami Music Week and Ultra has finally come to close, it’s time for some serious resting and recuperation. This week’s edition of Sunday Morning Medicine is light enough to soothe your overexposed ear drums, but groovy enough to have you harkening for a return to the lovely South Beach. With a garage track from Kastle, an assemblage of deep house tunes from Tiga and Cillo, and some indie dance remixes from Anoraak and C2C, this week’s SMM is just what you need to get you back on your feet.

If you missed any of last week’s more chilled out selections, make sure out DCUP and Lenno’s nu-disco collab, “Supafine,” Andrew Bayer’s latest album preview, “Lose Sight,” and Jonas Rathsman and Nibc’s collaborative Levitate EP. For five tracks to nourish your battered ear drums, click past the break.

Duke Dumont – The Giver (Tiga Remix)

Initially, superstars like Avicii were some of the first to give rave reviews to Duke Dumont’s “The Giver,” a track released on Tiga’s label, Turbo Recordings. With a powerful set of vocals and a catchy chord sequence, it gained support from artists all across the dance music spectrum. When put into the hands of the label master himself, a progressive journey was molded around timeless lead-play and uniquely looped vocal sequences — breathing new life into an already stellar track. Tiga — being the innovator and pioneer of electronic music that he is — makes any release a welcomed treat. His take on “The Giver” is layered with hypnotizing rhythm, a gently thumping bassline, and reworked vocals that stands out from its original counterpart.
