Chi Duly - Balloons of Haus




Oregon's own Chi Duly has produced another great mix tape. This time he's focused his attention on The Weeknd. Chi Duly has taken the après-party sound characteristic of the Canadian born artist and transformed it to something to bob your head to. It's funny that this post follows the Shlohmo remix of "Crew Love" because Chi Duly and Shlohmo took such different approaches to mixing The Weekend. Shlohmo's version is slower and darker than the original, while Chi Duly's tracks are upbeat and rhythmic. Chi Duly explains - "The concept was born of my interest in bringing The Weeknd's vibe to a DJ set." And I'd say he's done so very effectively. My personal favorites are The Party, Glass Table Girls, enotS gnilloR and The Morning, but all of Balloons of Haus is amazing! In fact, The Weeknd himself gave Chi Duly a twitter shout-out (check pic below). Seriously great work Chris! Hope you're taking the East coast by storm :)
All of the music is available to download on Chi Duly's site http://www.chiduly.com/ (which by the way looks amazing these days).
