Rolled tight, sequenced right: Dom Chronicles' Stoner Jams 03, is the summer tape you needed.

---

Dom Chronicles doesn't just make music, he architects feelings. With Stoner Jams 03, the Kansas City, MO artist, DJ, and producer delivers what may be his most intentional body of work yet: a warm, haze-draped collection that moves with the unhurried confidence of someone who knows exactly what they're doing and refuses to rush it.

From the first note to the last, this album breathes. The track listing isn't accidental; it's choreographed. Every transition, every shift in energy, every moment of stillness feels deliberate, the work of someone who understands that sequencing is the art. Stoner Jams 03 flows less like a playlist and more like a continuous experience a smoked-out, sunlit journey with studio-grade clarity holding it all together.

What sets this record apart is Dom's beat selection, which is nothing short of immaculate. He has an ear for producers who don't just fill space, they shape it. The result is an album where every instrumental feels handpicked, not assembled.

Highlights

"Summertime" feat. Irv Da Phenom (Produced by Dom Chronicles)
Dom steps behind the boards and delivers one of the album's most immediately lovable moments. Languid guitar licks curl around shimmering keys as Irv Da Phenom glides in with an effortless cadence that feels like it was born for this beat. It's nostalgic without being derivative, a breezy, golden-hour anthem that sounds like a memory you didn't know you had.

"Artesian Water" (Produced by Gloam)
This is where the album reaches its most immersive depth. Gloam constructs a rich, aquatic soundscape this reverb-drenched textures drift like light through deep water while a hypnotic low end anchors the whole thing. Dom doesn't fight the atmosphere; he inhabits it, floating between verses with a measured ease that makes this one of the record's most rewarding listens. Momentum takes a back seat to mood, and the mood wins every time.

"Sun Sign" (Produced by Playa Haze)
Playa Haze brings a woozy, late-night tenderness to this cut hazy synth pads bloom beneath a soft, head-nodding drum groove that practically begs you to close your eyes. Intimate and introspective, "Sun Sign" is one of the album's quietest moments and one of its most powerful, letting Dom's vocal tone sit front and center against a lush, minimalist backdrop that never overstays its welcome.

Dom Chronicles balances his DJ instincts with a producer's ear and a curator's eye, threading together collaborators who don't just complement his aesthetic but elevate it. The sequencing alone is worth studying. This is an atmosphere with architecture, chill with craft, such a cohesive, carefully constructed slice of Kansas City cool that, to be honest, I was surprised to hear coming from Kansas City since it mimics a lot of that sound that L.A. has become known for. If he is not on your playlist now, then it is time you change that.

​The album is released through Dom's record label Reality Makers Co. in partnership with CREATE.Digital Music and Virgin Music Group.
