A Further Look at Loss – Andrew Wasylyk
I was feeling sad – and I know why, but damn it’s so hard at times.
I’ve sat and watched as circumstance came in and deconstructed my defences one by one – constant pain leading to lack of sleep to lack of writing to lack of self care to lack of confidence to lack of hope to – STOP!

Think It – ORBIT 22
musicto started out with a vision to become the #1 Independent playlist site on the planet. To that end we set about recruiting amateur playlist curators with the promise that – if we all worked together under the same brand we would eventually be able to monetize our playlists – not through pay to play, but through sponsorship and ultimately single track distribution deals…Binary Warriors – Humn_Error
Sometimes it’s just so fucking bleak – the past, the present, the future – nothing’s right – everything’s wasted, me included. At times like this – I need something simple, something recognizable, something tangible that I can attach myself to – I need sonic salve.
While the organic opening to this track is rather foreboding, the subsequent six minutes of solid 4 by 4 electronic beats feels relentlessly optimistic…
remember – smei
This debut track sways nicely. smei sings unconcerned, but collected. The beat is choice.
Pirate Karate – Wooden Drone
One of the things I’m always looking out for on the essay writing list is repeatability – for tracks that you can put on a loop and then lose yourself for an hour – or longer. It’s why the tracks on this list skew much longer in length than your average 3 minute song…
Beautiful Light – Uppermost
Synonymous underlyings to the name of this playlist… a self reflective thought where the listener can question their own consciousness.
Mama Jay – Frizzy P & Mr Cole
A mix between soul, trip hop and electronic music. Some melodic and bewitching rap content. I mean, what else do we really need?
