FAIITH

Depending on the company you travel with and the tunes you decide to bump, road trips can either be a great way to bond with friends or a living hell. Nobody wants to be trapped in a car listening to the same boring mixes on repeat; thankfully, Edmonton's very own FAIITH has provided you with a mix that'll satisfy the desires of any fan of dance music. Dubbed Tropical Salvation for its sultry, shifting sounds and ability to transport you to a sea side paradise, it's just the soundtrack you need for your pre game travels. FAIITH has jam packed with mix with never before head originals--some of which you may recognize from his Northern Isle EP, which you can check out here--and remixes that emit that same feel good vibe. Give the mix a listen down below, check out the tracklist and make sure you give a shout out to FAIITH for all of his hard work on the tape.

Fall is in full swing now and I can’t help but feel somewhat under the weather due to the cold, rainy days. Around this time of year I usually hermit myself indoors away from the wetness and work as much as I can in order to be able to take off most of the summer for festivals and overall shenanigans.

Our latest SKMB guest mix has warmed me right up after being chilled to the bone on my bike ride home from work, and is from a man who knows all too well about the cold and damp weather we get here in the Great White North. Introducing Faiith, Edmonton, Alberta’s up and comer who has been gaining quite a bit of notice lately, and has had the opportunity to open for artists such as Sweater Beats, Kastle, The Knocks and more! He’s released tracks via Mat The Alien’s label Really Good as well as Night Vision, who have been taking Edmonton by storm.

Faiith mixes elements of tropical and deep house with emotional r&b in this drool-worthy one hour mix. Though it’s somewhat darker than what we are used to from Faiith, the overall vibe is still quite sunshiny and warm, which is just what the doctor ordered to flush away those chilly autumn blues. - Somekindofmusicblog
