Dark Light

Four fresh tracks to soundtrack your late 2025 soul searching.

This edition of our Cloud Droppings brings together tracks that don’t just chill — they sting. Songs that slip under your skin with a whisper, then gently gnaw at your neurones like an arctic fox with an attitude problem. Synths that glimmer like frost on a windowpane, drums that snap like brittle ice, and vocals that feel like a cold breath on the back of your neck. Romantic? Maybe not. Addictive? Oh, absolutely.

So zip up, pour something warm, and lean into the freeze. #Coldbite isn’t here to comfort — it’s here to refresh your brain the way winter air does at 6 a.m.: brutally, brilliantly, and with just enough bite to remind you you’re alive. Welcome to the chill.

Cloud Droppings : #Coldbite


If late-night whispers had a soundtrack, “Hold On” would be it. Soft, warm, and velvety—this track feels like wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket, lights dimmed low, maybe a candle flickering somewhere. Rhye’s voice glides over the bass and keys with a kind of gentle intimacy that says: “Yes, I see you. And I feel you.” It’s the sort of song that sneaks up on your mood, makes you pause mid-scroll, and convinces you that, for just four or five minutes, everything outside the speakers can wait. Perfect for when you need a little calm, a little soul, a little… hold on.

Imagine you’re scrolling through your feed late at night — windows open, city noises softened — then suddenly “Paranoia” drops. The beat hits like a gentle nudge, the kind that whispers: “Hey, wake up. Feel this.” The shaky synth undercurrents and lo-fi alt-pop energy from spill tab & boylife create a kind of dreamy unease: like someone creeping into your brain with a velvet glove and a mischievous grin. It’s cosy, it’s fuzzy — but there’s a nervous energy tucked under the surface, kind of like sipping hot chocolate while watching a horror movie. You want to sway, but your insides are doing that jittery dance of anticipation. It’s perfect for those moments when reality feels a bit too loud, and you just need something slightly off-kilter to match your mood.

Close your eyes. Imagine you’re drifting on a warm, humid breeze that smells of salt and distant islands — except the breeze is made of sound. That’s Fāfaru. 15 15 conjures a dreamy, slightly eerie vibe: soft but insistent percussion, electronic textures that feel like glowing embers under water, and voices that echo as if whispered through shell-horns at dawn. Listening to it is like swimming in slow motion through a neon lagoon — you might come up for air, but you’ll miss the glow. It’s mysterious, sensual, and just weird enough to make your brain go “Wait, what was that? — again.” A perfect track for nights when you want to travel without leaving your room.

“Mimosa 2000” lands like your favourite throwback drink at 2 a.m. — a bit fuzzy, slightly nostalgic, and with just enough sugar to keep you bobbing. PPJ resurrects a gloriously 90s-style piano riff (all bright, clanky and a bit cheeky), wraps it in sunlit electronica, then drops it with a wink: “Here’s your retro-future groove, enjoy responsibly.” Listening feels like dancing under a slightly tacky neon sign, sipping something bubbly, smiling because yes — this is delightfully silly and you deserve it. A perfect little anthem for when you want your playlist to taste like a cocktail with a twist.
