Check Odario Injects Sonic Energy In Single, ‘Do Nada (Chaix Remix)’

ODARIO (on the right) wanted to inject new sonic energy into ‘Do Nada’, a single about doing nothing, made in collaboration with Edmonton jazz band Good Information. ‘Do Nada (Chaix Remix)’ is an apathetic dance track Odario made with Chaix, a multi-genre artist and beat maker from Toronto. Chaix’s sound sits comfortably between hip-hop, house, and experimental electronic. Chaix didn’t want his reimagination to feel laidback and chill… but alive & infectious.

The video for ‘Do Nada (Chaix Remix)’ goes on a three-minute journey, exploring the day in the life of a wanderer attempting to do nothing for the day. It’s a reminder that a day of doing nothing can easily lead to a whole lot of random something. Loosely inspired by the Coen brothers’ 1998 film The Big Lebowski, Odario’s character manages to get out of bed, but not out of that bathrobe. Check out the video below…

Song of the Day: Nights In December – Isco Cruz

Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, ISCO CRUZ is a rising artist with an unorthodox and versatile style that draws influences from Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson, Drake, and The Weeknd. While primarily categorized as R&B/Soul, his music transcends genres.

His love for music started at an early age, and he began writing poetry as a way to express his thoughts and emotions. As his passion for music grew, he transitioned into rapping, and now his music has progressed into being much more melodic.

His latest single, ‘Nights in December,’ is a tale of temptation, lust, and the consequences that follow. With a beat that’s both seductive and raw, Cruz takes the listener on a journey through his experiences.

The single is a precursor to his debut EP ‘Lost in Lust’, set to release later this year. ‘Lost in Lust’ is a collection of intimate and soulful tracks that explore the complexities of love and desire. From the euphoric highs of falling head over heels, to the heartache and confusion of being caught in a toxic relationship, these songs capture the full range of emotions that come with being lost in lust.
