“Can this be called juke?” Gnyonpix wonders this in the description for “Tropical Cider Blue,” and my initial reaction is no, as it resembles more of the reggae-inspired output of someone like Quarta330. But also! Maybe lightening up about genre would be a good thing (to a degree) in 2017, and “Tropical Cider Blue” does feature a skitter that pushes everything forward, albeit on island time rather than what you’d expect to hear out of Chicago (or Gnyonpix’s own library, for that matter). Whatever you want to call it, “Tropical Cider Blue” is chilled out and a nice way to end the day. Listen above.
