Come & Get It – Year of October

Fans of Heartless Bastards, Delta Spirit or The Detroit Cobras listen up! This week I proudly present the first submission to my playlist. The band Year of October submitted the track this week via the from on Music to Conquer Mountains with the note “The song is based on a short story by Phlecia Sullivan and involves a girl getting over an abusive relationship.” …

Old Fitzroy – Dan Sultan

I was introduced to Dan Sultan a few years back and been hooked ever since.There’s something really special about Australian music that paints a picture that’s not always pretty, with raw honesty that cuts to the bone.

In The Waiting Line – Zero 7

This song has been popping up now and again for me, I decided to pick In the Waiting line this week as it speaks to my current state the most.

Pain – The War On Drugs

In today’s music industry, it’s hard to find a new band who consistently puts out good music, or has an album where each song leaves you wanting more. The more you listen the more you can’t get enough and your left with this longing that music seems to has lost. The War on Drugs is this type of band.

Everyday – Carly Comando

The first time I heard this track, I got completely into it. It’s powerful, it’s uplifting, it’s overwhelming. And it was associated to a stunning video that became viral in no time. A guy, Noah Kalina, took a picture of himself once a day for almost 6 years, and then put everything in a rapid sequence. Can you imagine it? Almost 3.000 pictures that in less then 6 minutes flow in front of your eyes.. and this music running as sountrack.

Slightest Right – Makaya McCraven

I absolutely love drum-focused instrumental music, improvisation, and seeing a drummer as a bandleader. This week’s track, “Slightest Right,” is from Chicago drummer Makaya McCraven, and it checks off all three of those boxes. …

Niye Belə Uzundur Bu Yollar – No Land

“No Land’in sesleri yaşam gibi akıcıdır. katılıktan uzak; su gibi akışkandır. çalgılar saygıyla donanmıştır, yerli yerinde kullanılmış, kimse kimseyi bastırmamış, ezmemiş, ötekileştirmemiştir. belki de bu yersiz yurtsuzluğa No Landçe bir yanıttır.”

Where’s the Deluxe Version? – Cliff Martinez

I know I normally advocate for sticking with one track and putting it on repeat – but where there’s a little more leeway is when you start to play with movie soundtracks.  We already have quite a few soundtracks on this list but I surprised myself that I hadn’t yet put up something from the brilliant Cliff Martinez.

Nasema Nawe – Diamond Platnumz

Multi Award winning Tanzania artist Naseeb Abdul Juma known also known as Diamond Platnumz is considered one of the most influential , loved and decorated Tanzanian artist at the moment.

Cold Hearted – Shown 1k

About 6 to 7 years ago one of the A&R’s I worked with approached me about working with a artist. At the time I still lived In Florida, and this artist was from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I wasn’t sure how that was going to work but this person assured me once I heard this guy I would definitely want to work with him. 

En La Ciudad De La Furia – Soda Stereo

We can go to unknown territory for a moment and travel in time and space to Argentina in the 1980s, looking back to one of the most influential rock bands in Latin America, Soda Stereo.

Every nineties latino kid grew up listening to Gustavo Cerati’s voice and getting enchanted by this song and many others. This is a typical one that captured very uniquely the feeling of the evening, watching the sun go down and the city lights slowly start to turn on.

Say A’ – A Boogie Wit da Hoodie

This weeks track uploaded to the playlist is none other than A-Boogie Wit da Hoodie. The title of this one is called “Say A”. 

I just heard this recently and thought it was definetly worthy of a spot on this list. Boogie hails from the Highbridge section of the Bronx in New York City and is most known for his song “Drowning” that was very big for him…
