25 September 2018

Rob Garza and Eric Hilton are Thievery Corporation, often working with other artists to produce the dream for the song into reality, in this case the vocals are by Emiliana Torrini…

Blame It On The Neon – Leaving Thomas

19 September 2018

I just finished working with Annika and Bryton, Leaving Thomas and they have recently become an independent duo. As a Canadian in the music business, I had heard of them but only recently had we met. Their tune Blame It On The Neon is a classic country crooning, crying tune.

Hometown Sundowns – Olivia Rose

19 September 2018

This track is from one of the very first artists I worked with. Olivia Rose was only 12 years old (now 19) when we met and you could just tell she was going to go places. I thought it fitting that as a new curator, my first song should come from one of my first contacts in music.

Questions – Cinthya Garcia

19 September 2018

Music to write to is such a subjective thing – whether you’re looking for energy, distraction or pure emotional inspiration – what works for me may not work for you. As a result I tend to go for longer form tracks – tracks that you put on repeat so you don’t have a jarring “vibe” change as you move through the playlist…

Chariots – TransGlobal Underground

19 September 2018

Can their album “Psychic Karaoke” really be over twenty years old now? Released in 1996, I heard “Chariots” up first and was absolutely hooked by the depth of sound, the subcontinental/Arabian voice of Natacha Atlas (!) and the changes of rhythm and sounds. The super duper highway indeed!…

Yallah – Sebastien Triumph

19 September 2018

Comin’ in f****** hot this week with “Yallah” by DJ Sebastien Triumph

This track inspires the f**** out of you and drives you to f****** to dance as if it was your own religion. Here in the dance world our religion is known as P.L.U.R. which stands for peace, love, unity and respect…

Picture Day – Gorilla Social

19 September 2018

Formed in late 2017/early 2018, the Chicago native indie-rock band, Gorilla Social, has been found playing the local underground music scene relentlessly. The band has been establishing itself as a major presence with a fresh new sexy sound to indie rock music…

Heavy, California – Jungle

19 September 2018

Wow.. cuando vi el videoclip de “Heavy, California” realmente me
encantó tanto el concepto como la música, sobre todo la coreografía es
bastante genial, es en serio quedé encantando,…

Wonder – Happy Walters ft. Ruelle

19 September 2018

It’s amazing quite how much power an amazing hook has:

“Is anybody out there can you lead me to the light
Is anybody out there tell me it’ll all be alright”

Wonder – Happy Walters ft. Ruelle

19 September 2018

This week’s track is a poignant performance by Happy Walters and Ruelle, we are lucky enough on the music to community to receive amazing music through the submissions, this one is yet another example of the many incredible music talented artists can create…

All That I Can Say – Mary J. Blige

18 September 2018

Keeping the theme of soft string openings, this week’s track is coming from the Ms. Mary J. Blige. Curating hip-hop soul over the last 26 years, Mary J. Blige is credited for merging hip hop and R&B music, coining her the “Queen of Hip Hop Soul”.  The track “All That I Can Say”, was released in 1999 off Mary J. Blige’s fourth studio album, “Mary”…

Loyal – ODESZA

17 September 2018

Remember when I said this playlist was about providing a superhero soundtrack to your everyday routine? This week I’m laying it on thick with ODESZA’s new-but-not-really release ‘Loyal’ – brace yourself as military snare rolls, mysterious arpeggios and a FILTHY brass section collide to weave a cinematic soundscape that just screams EPIC…
