For his new release "Mistletoe Current," DJ Druskin leaves the string lights behind and invites us into an Indie Folk Pop Anthem Holiday Playlist, with a minimal, slow jam that sets itself apart from most of what you hear this time of year. It's a song made for small rooms, soft lighting, and that special December week when the world takes a collective deep breath.
"Mistletoe Current" leans into something cozier, a soft acoustic aesthetic, harmonized vocals, and a message that gently nods to slowing down and is permissible to inhale. The production of the song is the aural equivalent of a mellow, calm, dreamily serene. Instead of needing attention, the track is an invitation to enter a state of quiet meditation, where there's room for reflection rather than hurry.
This sparse production makes "Mistletoe Current" perfect for programmed environments like Cozy Christmas, Christmas Coffeehouse, and Acoustic Christmas. It leaves behind the holiday setting altogether, fitting comfortably into playlists featuring Cozy Acoustic, Chill Folk, or the ambience of Your Favorite Coffeehouse.
DJ Druskin captures the soul of winter and what it means to be a human. The need for peace and quiet, the desire to feel warm inside and out, and to feel rooted in one of the busiest times of year. Indeed, "Mistletoe Current" brings with it sweet reminders of the simple grace found throughout. The winter season is its easiest, and it sounds like it.
Such a lovely track.
