(from the album Hello Clouds, 2016)

Some tracks wrap around you like a late summer breeze—The Feels is one of them. A sun-drenched, shimmering slice of deep house euphoria that hits you right in the chest. It’s tender and melodic, sure—but there’s an emotional weight to it too, a kind of bittersweet optimism that lingers long after the final drop fades.

Justin Martin’s craftsmanship here is on full display. He balances soft, soulful atmospherics with that unmistakable Dirtybird groove—dreamy yet danceable, introspective but never dull. “The Feels” does exactly what it says on the tin: it pulls you in gently, but holds you tightly. It’s the kind of track that reminds you why you fell in love with electronic music in the first place.

But here’s the thing—this isn’t just a one-off standout.

It’s part of one of the most beautifully built electronic albums of the last decade. Hello Clouds, Justin’s sophomore LP, is nothing short of a skybound odyssey. Across 13 impeccably arranged tracks, Martin charts an emotional course through featherlight vocals, ribcage-rattling basslines, and ethereal synth work, all while carrying that Dirtybird DNA deep in its veins.

Collaborating with a dream-team cast—FEMME, Charlotte OC, Kill Frenzy, Ardalan, and even his brother Christian—Justin doesn’t just produce bangers, he builds worlds. Whether you’re floating in headphones or fully locked on the dancefloor, Hello Clouds delivers moment after moment of sonic joy.

So today’s Track of the Day is “The Feels”—but honestly, the whole album deserves your ears. That’s why I’ve included the entire thing in the post. Hit play. Lay back. Look skyward. And let Justin Martin take you above the clouds.

Banger.
