All the Playlists

Afterlife – Tchami (feat. Stacy Barthe)

5 December 2017

Sometimes the most superhuman thing we can do is acknowledge our mortality. 

All heroes know that there’s a very good chance they can be defeated, and what comes next? Where do we go in the Afterlife? It’s important that we make peace with this fact if we’re to stay brave in the face of Danger; if we don’t, we might find ourselves succumbing to the Great Unknown…

Southern Gothic – Tyminski

5 December 2017

“Must be something in the muddy water, turns the whiskey ‘bout as sweet as sin. Every drunk in town can sing a brown bag hymn…”  Whaaaaa?! Play that back a couple times… with such thought-provoking lyrics, Southern Gothic by Tyminski is meant for this playlist.

Oran – Cal Tjader

5 December 2017

The jellyfish is busy – pressed for time.  Survival is a series of opportunities, and any missed chance could be your last.  The ocean is vast and full of chances to stay alive, but they won’t all come to you of their own accord.  The jellyfish must move and keep moving.  

On The Move – DJ Chase ft. Dolo Big Inf & Mazik Beats

5 December 2017

World wide sounds Dj Chase is no stranger to the Rap Game. With an album done called “Diary Of A Mad Black Man” he put out in 2013. Dj Chase is back with a brand new single featuring up and coming Bronx Rapper Dolo who by chance snagged Big inf to get on this banger called “On The Move” prod. Mazik Beats.

Terrified – Childish Gambino

5 December 2017

If you’ve somehow managed to avoid Childish Gamino’s Redbone until now I have a trophy ready for you to pick up at your earliest convenience. It swept the nation and hooked millions of listeners with its smooth bass lines and soaring falsetto. But I have an unpopular opinion incoming. Redbone is not the best song on this album. Most popular, yes. But the best song has to go to terrified…

Don’t Give Up (feat. P!NK & John Legend) – Herbie Hancock

5 December 2017

I remember hearing this track for the first time when it was performed by the writer Peter Gabriel and I think it was Kate Bush – it was one of those songs that you immediately recognize as classic – even to my then teenage ears.

Butterflies Pt. 1 – Alice Thompson

5 December 2017

Alice is a classically trained pianist and composer. Alice’s next-generation modern, minimal classical piano compositions have been broadcast on the radio in 103 countries worldwide…

Disco – Kyle Troop & The Heretics

5 December 2017

The opening track from the debut album by Atlanta’s Kyle Troop & The Heretics is a slice of hardcore skate punk that compares the supporters at a presidential campaign rally to oversexed nightclub drunks salivating over a pole dancer. In a song inspired by the 2016 presidential primaries, the preaching star of Disco is handing out “sugar water” guaranteed to “leave you wanting more” and at the end of it all, Kyle tells me, “people get to take their candidate home like a cheap date”…

Love’s in Need of Love Today – The Sachal Ensemble and Jim James

5 December 2017

My Morning Jacket’s Jim James is a vocal chameleon. One minute he sounds like a heightened alt-rock singer, the next like the quintessential neo-soul singer. His solo endeavors have been fruitful, yielding ripe, soul-nourishing tracks. Proving that he’s a musician’s musician, he’s not afraid to experiment and go outside the box.

My Life Is Good – 애쉬비 (Ash-B)

5 December 2017

Here’s a cool song for you to just chill and be grateful for your life, in a non cheesy way. Relax and think of the good things about your life. Your life is good.

When you get to hear “My life is good”, by Ash-B, if you’re not fluent in Korean, the only lines you’ll understand are probably “My life is good” or “My life is cool” and “I’m proud of myself”. That’s enough, though.

Turncoat – Pickwick

5 December 2017

Sometimes all you need is a proper groove, man. A groove, which “Turncoat” by the Seattle based band Pickwick will offer you. The band has been around for almost ten years and after releasing a series of EPs and singles, they finally dropped their debut record Can’t Talk Medicine in 2013.

Carolina Drama – The Raconteurs

5 December 2017

I could go on and on about Jack White, but I won’t. I will say, however, that though his many bands, he really seems to dive into lyricism in The Raconteurs. Don’t get me wrong this album is riddled with unforgettable guitar licks and a raw overall sound he has crafted, but there seems to be a bit more depth than just rock and roll.
