THE JAM JAR 110 | Curated By Hotel Garuda
Hotel Garuda, individually known as Candle Weather and Manila Killa, needs no introduction. We've been certified fanboys of their work for a long time now, and with genre bounding, chart topping remixes for the likes of Lana Del Rey, Banks, Disclosure and more, it's impossible not to be. Today we're excited to have them taking over our Jam Jar series. In typical fashion they've put together a diverse selection of tunes, each choosing five favorites of the moment, so without further delay we'll let the dudes get into it. Enjoy!

Candleweather's 5 Jams •
CamelPhat feat. A*M*E* - Paradigm (Amtrac's Temptation Remix)
Honestly, Amtrac can do no wrong. Ive been constantly impressed by his output and how he manages to express different moods and feelings in his own cohesive way.

Towkio - Reflection (prod. Kaytranada)
Hadn't heard of Towkio before his mixtape dropped recently, but the whole mixtape's production is absolutely killer. Kaytranada did two beats on it, this one being my favorite because of its blend of signature Kaytra rhythms and vibes, and Towkio's strong half-sung, half-rapped vocals.

Hunt for The Breeze ft. Treehaus - Awake
I've been following HFTB's work for a while now, and he continues to impress me with his skill in creating unique soundscapes that still maintain melodic sensibility. Also on this track is Moving Castle newbie Treehaus, who is probably the next James Blake.

Fono - Real Joy
I'm not too familiar with Fono's work, but I heard this one and was immediately taken aback by the interplay between the vocals and the synths. Super weird, but still super danceable.

Lusine - Arterial (Telefon Tel Aviv Remix)
Telefon Tel Aviv is one of the reasons I first got into electronic music, so I was really happily surprised when he came back with this new remix. Really cool, different, innovative electronic music thats hard to classify into a genre.

Manila Killa's 5 Jams •
Billboard - Souvenir
I came across Billboard's work at the recommendation of my friend and instantly fell in love. His work is unbelievably well mixed, and the elements he incorporates in each song are playful and beautiful. The dude has less than 2k soundcloud followers so he was a crazy find.

Syre - Burn (Ft. Kendra Dias)
If this song was a real life experience, it would describe sipping on a cocktail in a sophisticated lounge located in Manhattan at 11PM...

Tove Stryke - Ego (Bearson Remix)
I'm a huge fan of Bearson so there's no surprise I picked this song. He never disappoints and this is one of my favorite remixes by him - I love the manipulation done to the vocals at the climax of the song, as well as the overall structure of the song. This song is really just a great, feel good, summer jam.

Darius - Helios (Pomo Remix Ft. Tennyson)
I love Pomo and Tennyson so when I saw that they collaborated, I immediately had to drop everything I was doing to take a listen - and they definitely delivered. This is a great remix that blends both Pomo and Tennyson's styles very cohesively.

Madeon - Pay No Mind (Ft. Passion Pit)
I listen to this song at least once a day. The craftsmanship Madeon demonstrates in every song he produces is on another level, and this song is no exception. He did a great job in creating an atmosphere that fit Passion Pit's musical aesthetic without sacrificing his own style.
