Ever find yourself sitting at your desk, headphones on, when all of a sudden you space out from the work you’re doing and get completely lost in the undercurrents of the sonic waves crashing onto your eardrums? For a moment you daze out of reality, blankly staring at your screen as the vocals and melodies swirl to a fevered pitch before your co-worker walks by your desk and unceremoniously brings you back to reality.

That was my experience as I toiled through the rest of my Friday when Blood Diamonds‘ electronica mix of The Chain Gang of 1974‘s “Miko” came blasting through my headphones. Ambient synths, ethereal keys, and Kamtin Mohager’s drivingly delicate vocals latched onto my consciousness and held me firmly between dreaming and reality where I happily stayed, head in the clouds, for a brief moment in time. Press play on Blood Diamonds’ mix below and take a short break from your day, I’m sure you could use it.

Head to iTunes and purchase “Miko” here.
