Caveman – Dean & the Dagumn Space Villains
24 July 2018
“I think the idea of “soulmates” is a bit cheesy, and probably naive; being born as one half of a puzzle in a box with a billion pieces is romantic sure, but it’s also terrifying. How could you possibly find the one you’re destined for?..

Coexist Music Group is an alternative hip-hop and R&B collective from the DMV area. Their sound is described as “Modern Retro” due to the fact that they mix old school inspiration with new school vibes.
Body Language – Con Brio
9 July 2018
This track is the ultimate sexy time soundtrack by San Francisco indie/funk formation Con Brio. It is so laid back and easy to listen to with smooth vocals and a catchy beat, I knew I had to have it on my playlist…
Get High – Marcus Mouya, Bodhi Jones
20 June 2018
Excellent guitar throughout the song. It has a tropical popish vibe, maroon 5 style vocals, guitar, saxophone and really groovy beat…
Hot Blazing Sun – Quarters of Change
22 May 2018
This song has everything you are looking for. Somewhat of a Bob Marley, Blue Oyster Cult, and Dispatch in my opinion. The sound these guys are able to make it something not a lot of people can do. The groove is absolutely mesmerizing and sounds so good with just 2 guitars and bass, which keeps it simple and at the same time allows it to say so much.
Nobody’s Ting – NDAI
15 May 2018
This song has so much soul there isn’t a chance that I wouldn’t add this to the playlist. The bass line alone grabs you and locks you into it’s smooth melody. NDAI’s voice is smooth and pure, and its vibe fit so well into the groove of the song I couldn’t help but listen to this 3 times in a row. This is a great song to put on and just kick back for a few minutes and get lost…
Your Love – Erkki. R
8 May 2018
When you listen to this track, you’re transported to another world. This is the first electric dance/EDM song that made the playlist. And rightfully so, as the intro alone will make you get up and dance.
Eden – Turtle Skull
30 April 2018
“A lovely, floaty psych rock track. A wall of fuzzed out riffs cascading against a lysergic sky, while dreamy, psych-pop vocals float over the void.“
Savage Coast – No Kind of Rider
24 April 2018
The beginning of the song started playing and I instantly knew it was going to be great. The combination of guitars, sophisticated drums and mellow yet soft and soothing vocals was a perfect fit for the playlist…
Neon – The Golden Hour
3 April 2018
The song starts out with a chill guitar and catchy drum beat, and doesn’t waste any time trying to build up because the song catches your attention in the first few riffs. The vocals also sound fantastic and sit very well within in the song. The Golden Hour is one of those bands that found their sound and these guys captured great energy with their instruments…
Make It By – Coastal Club
26 March 2018
As soon as I heard this song, I knew it needed to be on the playlist. The Coastal Club sticks to their name and the sound really captures the vibe of the coast. Wavy feel to the songs that makes you feel great. Has a similar feel to Hippo Campus in my opinion, and incorporates fantastic guitar fills…
Off She Goes – Bad Suns
6 March 2018
3 seconds into the song, you will be captured by the mellow guitar picking and soft, yet very mesmerizing vocals of lead singer, Christo Bowman. It really picks up when the bass builds up to the drums and the pre chorus starts to hit. Excellent timing as a band in whole and their sound is very tight. They song will leave you daydreaming at your desk or driving down the highway going anywhere…
