All the Playlists

Regular World – Spirit Animal

25 July 2018

I’ve loved curating this list for the last month and there’s still one more track to go! 😉  The major themes have all been about us – us humans – how we interact with each other – how we tackle our seemingly insurmountable problems and how songs can help us do these things.  But this week’s track puts forward the idea of – what if you don’t actually need saving?

Necessary Evil – Unknown Mortal Orchestra

25 July 2018

I love going to concerts and not knowing much about an artist or their music. Because I get to experience it live.

Part 34 – Given Circumstances

24 July 2018

The smoke from the encore of the opening night of “The Mikado” is still hovering. The auditorium’s gradually emptying. No sign of The Big Cheese.

‘Well done, sir.’ Someone from stage crew scurries by.

‘Thanks. And well done you guys as well. Very slick.’

‘We’ll get more encores tomorrow. And Saturday’ll be mental.’ He grins and hurries away….

Smile Bitch – Lil Duval Feat. Snoop Dogg & Ball Greezy

24 July 2018

So I had a few issues in my private life and with my computer over the last few weeks. And I wanted to just share my thoughts on energy, and how it can effect us in life. I will say this and I hope it helps anyone going through a rough time anywhere in life. LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!…

Passing Through – Cult of Luna

24 July 2018

This week’s pick to question existence is he well placed closing track on the 2013 album “Vertikal”.  “Passing Through” by Cult of Luna. The simple, yet very effective lyrics combined with a playful xylophone and a droning guitar riff that leaves you in a comfortably black, trance like state…

Poison In The Well – 10,000 Maniacs

24 July 2018

Natalie Merchant’s folksy college rock vocal is the perfect conduit for this bitter ballad about corporate negligence tearing apart the lives of helpless, ordinary people, inspired by the true story of a neighbourhood of 221 families completely destroyed by chemical contamination,…

Himalaya – Ellipsis

24 July 2018

The most difficult things for a man to do are to climb a wall leaning towards you and to kiss a girl leaning away from you.

 – Marion de Velder (often mistakenly credited to Winston Churchill)

More Than Friends – INNA feat. Daddy Yankee

24 July 2018

Entering the playlist this week is none other than the talented INNA with her 2013 smash hit “More Than Friends” The track delivers with it a brilliant blend of dance + summer + fun vibes…

Are You That Somebody – Giselle Feat Xtatic

24 July 2018

 Some people say there is nothing better than the original. Sometimes that’s not always the case. Because cover songs have become quite popular. If you like cover songs or an Aaliyah fan then check this track out. A great take on a Aaliyah Cover! She has some notable stuff going on in her career, shes worth having a listen to!..

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?..

Show You The Way to Go – The Jacksons

24 July 2018

One word to describe this song…. “magical”. I mean c’mon, the strings are immediately alluring to the soul. A Jacksons gem, composed by the legendary Gamble and Huff of Philadelphia International. This single comes from the album The Jacksons released in 1976…

That’s What I am Talking About (feat. Rell) – Pete Rock

24 July 2018

It is possible that Music to Dali & Jay Z Lovers wouldn’t even exist without Pete Rock. He is one of the main guys who merged hip hop and jazz, so yeah, “that’s what I am talking about”. 

Both solo or along with C L Smooth, Pete Rock is the mind, the voice & the beats behind dope tracks such as “They reminisce over you”, a must-listen for jazz rap fans and a true hip hop classic…
