Song from old Brain Food playlist

[dmonix]

I am looking for a song that was on the Brain Food playlist in I think 2020, near the top; it had what sounded like African tribal chanting as the vocals. Sounded like shamans, maybe dancing. I never realized how much I connected with that song until it came off the playlist, at some point in 2021. I've been hunting for it ever since. Does this ring a bell for anyone? 

I wish it was possible to access historical versions of playlists...

I have the same question because I’ve also been trying to track down a track that used to be on Spotify’s Brain Food playlist a few years back. Like you, I remember it being pretty close to the top of the list in 2020, and it had this really distinctive vocal style—almost like tribal chanting or shamanic singing layered over ambient, rhythmic background music. It stood out so much from the rest of the playlist because it had a deep, almost meditative energy that made it feel more primal and hypnotic compared to the usual electronic focus of Brain Food.

Ever since Spotify rotated it out (sometime around 2021, I think), I’ve been trying to find it again with no luck. I’ve scrolled through forums, tried Shazam on similar songs, and even browsed user-made playlists that claim to archive old Brain Food tracks, but nothing has matched exactly. It’s frustrating that Spotify doesn’t give us an official way to see historical versions of curated playlists, because a lot of people seem to connect with songs that later disappear—kind of like how I sometimes miss older items that rotate off the Texas Roadhouse menu, especially those limited-time dishes that really hit the right mood. You can explore more of their menu and specials at thetexasroadhousemenu.com.

Was it this one? This is what I was looking for; Angels by Dark Sky.
