Work Out – Chance the Rapper
I love songs that stay away from a kind of “positive vibes only” mentality and instead embrace the entire spectrum of human emotion. This week’s track “Work Out” by Chance the Rapper is no exception…
Love Like Waves – Friendly Fires
Después de un ligero break quisiera continuar con un toque Dance, algo
fresco y suave a la vez, en ésta ocasión me encontré viendo el
videoclip del tema “Love Like Waves” de un grupo Londinense llamado
Friendly Fires…
The Last Day – Michael Lovisa Remix
I am absolutely thrilled to have our first user submitted track featured on this playlist. There has been a couple dozen submissions, so after sifting through the tracks I stumbled across a terrific remix of “The Last Day” by Michael Lovisa. The tone of this track perfectly captures the direction that this playlist is moving towards…
Hearts Beat Loud – Keegan DeWitt and Kiersey Clemons
Have you seen the movie Hearts Beat Loud yet? It just came out this summer, and it’s not only a delightful watch, but it also has a fantastic soundtrack that you will want to listen to long after the movie is over…
British Summertime – Bent
Well, with the UK in the midst of its best summer sun since 1976 – heatwave! – what could be better than a chilled song that radiates Englishness? Bent (Simon Mills and Neil Tolliday) are one of my absolute favourite downtempo mixers/samplers from the turn of the millennium…
Red Travellin’ Socks – Malcolm Middleton
How do you start a road trip?
Maybe you’re the kind who takes a “Leaving bowl,” puts on a super mellow track and then chills out as you blend into traffic. I personally am a big fan of such an approach – however – this week – this track – is not that kind of track!…
Beautiful People (Ultimate High Radio Remix) – Chris Brown
We’re back party people and this week we return with a remix of the 2011 smash hit “Beautiful People” by Chris Brown.
The song is intricately laced with an infinite spectrum of color and induces a majestic collection of fun, youthful euphoria.
Reborn – Kids See Ghosts
It’s funny that I have scheduled this song to be the track of this week; it is called “Reborn”, and “coincidentally” (I don’t believe in coincidences, hahahaha), we’ve just been through a solar eclipse (August 11th), and I also have a lot of personal & astrology stuff going on that means rebirth, new cycles etc etc etc…
Into The Void – Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is one of the very few Industrial bands that got to flirt with mainstream success. Founded in 1988 by frontman Trent Reznor, they had two successful releases in the 1990s which contributed to the band’s worldwide sales of over 20 million copies…
You Could Be My Lover – Jimmy Cozier and Melissa Musique
I have to say, I’m not sure I have ever heard a song with a male/female back and forth sort of dialogue that I didn’t like. This track is no exception. Over an island style beat Jimmy Cozier and Melissa Musique sound like two true lovers that can’t decide if they are from 1960s Motown or a modern day Jamaican dancehall…
Islak Islak – Cem Karaca
Turkish rock pioneer Cem Karaca was born April 5, 1945 to professional actors Mehmet Ibrahim Karaca and Irma Felekyan. He first performed in a cover band called “the Dynamites,” followed an Elvis Presley tribute group called “the Jaguars”; and from there Karaca eventually began writing his own original songs, honing a massively influential style that combined traditional Anatolian lyrics with cutting-edge contemporary rock melodies…
Body – Loud Luxury
Taking some time away from my list, and reading the things that Andrew was writing for Save the World, has put it back into perspective for me what this is all about for me. I started out with the idea that this list would be about the everyday struggles that come from being a human, and providing a soundtrack to those struggles to help you overcome them….
