I strained a calf muscle during my basketball game yesterday (yay late 30s), so I'm couch-bound today. While I appreciate (and need) to calm down, I regret the inability to smoothly glide through my apartment to my jazz house, especially if that's coming from the Atlanta-based duo Painted Dunes.
Justin and James blend jazz house sophistication with the smooth pulse of downtempo electronica. The duo describes their sound as "house music with a view, and a splash of jazz," which pretty much makes them the perfect sonic companions for a hot, hazy summer day. Their latest track feels like stepping out of a beachside lounge after an unforgettable night - warm, breezy, a little euphoric, and not quite ready to call it a night.
