All the Playlists

What About Me – John the Asian, E10

29 August 2017

Depression is still one of those things society doesn’t really like to talk about – hell – the people dealing with it don’t exactly like to broadcast it.  And yet, all the data that we’ve accumulated from studies along the way say the best approach is through socializing, through contact, through talking about it and working it through.

Ripe – Screaming Females

28 August 2017

If I could have picked my own voice, I would have certainly chosen something other than this nasally one I’m currently rockin’. Instead, I’d much rather sound like Marissa Paternoster. I know what you’re probably thinking, “WHO THE HELL IS THAT?” 

Dismissed – Michele McLaughlin

28 August 2017

An amazing game between the tones of a tender waltz and a dark ostinato. When I listen to this tune, I imagine a couple starting to dance in a very romantic way… and getting swept away from passion. A seduction game. Pure passion.

Blue Skies – Willie Nelson

28 August 2017

This week Willie Nelson brings us Blue Skies, in his easy way, with an honest guitar, it is true and moving.

What a nice place to be, love changes our world so much, in love and, with the one you love…..its hard to beat. 

Golden Brown – The Stranglers

28 August 2017

Road trip playlists can have the potential to take you anywhere, stories, memories, latest hits and pub anthems, and last but not least the Classics. This week happens to be a request from the back seat, but if someone said to me write down a list of your ten favorite classics, its definitely been tattooed on my skin . Seriously, you know your listening to a brilliant piece of music when it can bring people together regardless of staunch Musical tastes and sub cultures.

Lily of the Valley – Nitty Scott, Sene

25 August 2017

As much as the rap of Nitty Scott, MC sounds like a Ladybug Mecca revival, what’s interesting about Nitty and the album from which we got this amazing track is the spiritual touch she brings.

Meu Rap Jazz – Tássia Reis

25 August 2017

This playlist would make absolutely no sense if I relied only on American artists or male artists. We’re here for diversity, creativity, freedom, courage and self-expression; and as a woman and proud Brazilian, I feel like I have the right and the responsibility of giving space to female artists and Brazilian artists, especially when there are so many making good music that sounds perfect for this playlist.

F.U.T.W. – Jay-Z

25 August 2017

Jay-Z is not in the name of this playlist only to create a punchline, rhyming with Salvador Dali – by the way, my first idea was to actually put a female rapper’s name. “Music to Nicki & Kandinsky lovers” seemed good. Nicki, Kandinsky, nice rhyme, nice references. I love Nicki Minaj’s music and Kandinsky’s paintings.

What Cool Breezes Do – Digable Planets

25 August 2017

Digable Planets were the kings of chill, with Ladybug Mecca as their Queen Bee (side note: she’s Brazilian, I’m so proud).

Thoughtful, lovers of good black music and with 0 f*cks to give, their attitude was the definition of class, and this song is an example of why.

Dali, Van, Picasso – Beenzino

25 August 2017

Beenzino is one of the classiest and most creative artists in the Korean hip hop scene.

This is one of his songs that makes you feel like you’re smelling really good and opening the door of your new luxurious apartment, with super white walls, a gleaming floor and minimalist decor.

Move – Saint Motel

23 August 2017

Bu şarkıyla tanışmam radyoda en çok dinlenen 40 şarkı içindeyken
olmuştu. Başka bir şey üzerinde çalışıyordum ama şarkıyı ilk
duyduğumda bununla yaratıcı bir şeyler ortaya çıkarabileceğimi
düşündüm.

Eulogy – Simeon Walker

22 August 2017

Sometimes all you need is a bit of a space and a melancholy piano – hell – sometimes you don’t even need the space – a pair of decent headphones can be world building – especially if the soundtrack comes from Simeon Walker.
