Compilation: Summer is Calling - Summer Is Calling, Vol. 2 out on Armada Music

 



Continuing its journey with its signature chill sound, the beloved Summer Is Calling project returns with Summer Is Calling, Vol. 2, an irresistible collection of ten smooth and sun-soaked tracks that seamlessly blend laid-back grooves with dreamy, nostalgic melodies for a flow of warm, summer-ready bliss. This second chapter features chilled reinterpretations of iconic songs like All That She Wants, I Was Made For Loving You, and I’m Watching You (So Many Times), alongside dreamy cuts such as Daydreams, Redlight, and Wide Awake & Dreaming, creating the perfect soundtrack for relaxing and embracing endless summer vibes. Beyond its musical charm, research highlights the health benefits of chill music, as Thoma et al. (2013) note that “listening to calming music can significantly decrease cortisol levels, thereby reducing stress and improving emotional regulation,” with downtempo rhythms activating the parasympathetic nervous system to promote relaxation and well-being.


Tracklist 

1. Liu & Stonefox – All I Want  

Warm beats and soft textures create an inviting opening. Slow harmonic progressions like this can trigger relaxation responses and a sense of safety.

2. Ryan Riback – All That She Wants  

A breezy reinterpretation of the classic. Its steady groove aligns with research showing that predictable rhythms enhance emotional regulation.

3. Nick Schilder – Shatterproof  

Smooth and uplifting, it feels like a summer breeze. Gentle melodies like this have been linked to lowered heart rates and increased dopamine release.

4. ARTY feat. Cimo Fränkel – Daydreams  

Dreamy vocals and cinematic layers evoke a sense of lightness and calm. According to de Witte et al. (2020), music with soft rhythmic patterns can enhance relaxation and even support better sleep.

5. SRNDE – I Was Made For Loving You  

A chilled take on the rock classic. The slower tempo encourages parasympathetic activation, ideal for evening unwinding.

6. Seizo – Oh Baby  

Gentle rhythms and airy production create soulful ease. Research shows that softer dynamics can reduce cortisol and promote emotional stability.

7. Gadjo – I’m Watching You (So Many Times)  

Playful and nostalgic, floating effortlessly. Nostalgic music can trigger positive autobiographical memories, boosting mood.

8. Krono feat. VanJess – Redlight  

Sultry and soothing with soft vocal layers. Slow grooves like this are linked to decreased stress and improved mood regulation.

9. Amba Shepherd – Wide Awake & Dreaming  

An ethereal cut that evokes the sensation of floating. Ambient textures like this can increase alpha brain waves, associated with calm focus.

10. AMPM feat. Michael Kaneko – Best Part Of Us  

Heartfelt and warm, closing the set in emotional comfort. Music with sustained tones and soft phrasing supports emotional reflection and connection.



Scientific studies confirm that tracks like these not only bring summer vibes but also invite the body and mind into a relaxed, restorative state. As Koelsch (2010) notes, “Ambient and chill music activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body unwind and promoting mental well-being.”

Summer Is Calling brings the essence of summer to life, all year round. These chill lounge versions of iconic tracks are crafted for relaxation, unwinding, and soaking up the sun. Whether you’re working, socializing, or seeking a moment of tranquility, Summer Is Calling offers a delicate blend of nostalgia and modernity through its distinctive sound. Let the music transport you—because summer transcends the season; it’s a state of mind.

Summer Is Calling, Vol. 2 is more than just a soundtrack—it’s a blissful escape for mind and body, grounded in both art and science.
