Always a sucker for a Sade sample, I've just got to share this vibey joint that appeared in my feed today. Fresh from Seattle's Dasboy, "Cherish The Day" makes use of the track of the same name from the 1992 album Love Deluxe. Equally lush and chill, Dasboy's new bed is far more full than the almost ambient backing track of the original. This new direction is no great departure nor ill-suited sound for Sade as Dasboy delivers a psychedelic, trip-hop house beat rife with organic feeling instrumentation. Of particular note are the organ-like chords and cool keys that set the track aloft. While the sparse production on the original leaves plenty of room for Sade's heavenly vocals, that's not really the impetus behind this track. Dasboy's "Cherish The Day" taps into the nostalgia and familiarity of the immortal Adu while repositioning her vocals into his new multicoloured mist, allowing listeners to drift off into its divine distortion. And this is where we find my only gripe, I could use another three or four minutes of this to really allow for a fulsome descent into the daydream that is Dasboy's "Cherish The Day." Stream it now below and if you dig it, be sure to check out more of Dasboy's back catalogue here.
