All the Playlists

Fever – Lenno

31 July 2018

This week is all about dancing. This song is a light up dance floor, the gentle brush of people moving around you, the way your hair sticks to the back of your neck. This song is about finding the closest thing to heaven, the way a song can touch humans of all walks of life to move…

This is How We Walk on the Moon – Geographer

31 July 2018

“This is How We Walk on the Moon” is a cover of an Arthur Russell song, and it’s a simple but uplifting and powerful song about overcoming challenges. At various times in my life when I’ve been overwhelmed or unsure about the future, it’s really resonated with me, reminding me that every small step forward brings you closer to your goal…

Roadhouse Blues – The Doors

31 July 2018

“Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer!”

I joined one of the school rock bands at the age of 14 – I had an “In” – my brother was the lead singer and guitar player.  We played mostly originals that I would co-write with him but would occasionally throw in the odd cover…

Cupid – Ryan Beatty

31 July 2018

“And when we get older / And y’all break up someday / And this is not a secret…” Secrets? Ah, the plight of love is in full effect on “Cupid,” a slick, urban-pop gem from California pop artist Ryan Beatty.  The former teen-pop artist, now fully-grown, joins a wave of artists bravely opening up and being honest about their sexuality…

Good Feeling – Flo Rida

31 July 2018

Buena – Morphine

Samaritans – IDLES

31 July 2018

The pernicious effect of keeping silent when you ought to be screaming and sobbing is explored in Samaritans, the latest track from IDLES, from forthcoming album Joy as an Act of Resistance. But this article isn’t exactly about IDLES, the intense alternative five-piece from South-West England. Instead, it’s about a group of their fans who, in the last year, have changed each other’s lives and restored their faith in humanity. And if their motto, “All is Love”, means something to you, they would like you to join them.

Thinking of You – Asympt Man

31 July 2018

When love is over, our feelings don’t go away. We are left thinking of you…

trata de música Electrónica y Dance,…

Rain – O R I O N

31 July 2018

Earth | Air | Fire | Water. 

These four essential elements of life appear repetitively throughout yoga classes, and often materialize in the teacher’s themes or in the music style of the playlist. You’ll have earthy, homey music in a grounding class, or flowly, dreamy, water-like tracks when a class is about the natural uncertainty in life…

Gymnopédie # 1 – Erik Satie

31 July 2018

It had been an hour of an incredibly exhausting piano recital, I was graduating. It had taken me five years of really hard work but it was finally ending.

I knew I was going to be so emotional I would not be able to speak at the end, had just finished playing Pierre Boulez’s “12 notations”, one of the most difficult pieces I had ever played…
