Welcome to the creators of YONI. Lush arrangements of instrumental and lyrical versatility embodies the divinity of their art in all of its most empowering pieces. What we don’t understand intrigues us and at the core I think we all crave to understand why art – especially in the form of music – is so emotionally tethered to our roots. The diversity of their ensemble is sure to tingle your curious taste buds of the musical feast they have to offer…
I recently came across this song while listening to the artist Xavier Omar and it has been on repeat ever since. I found this song intriguing, to the slow melody in the background to DRAMs deep voice ringing over that melody. The beat is one thing but I love but the lyrics…
I have a confession to make. Kate Chopin is one of my favorite authors. I remember the first time I read her most critically-acclaimed novel The Awakening. I’m not a feminist and obviously, not a woman but I nevertheless found the novel touching. For those of you haven’t read it, it’s a story about rebelling against the expectations that society places on us…
Okay. Let’s get down this Rabbit Hole…
Luna Keller is a singer/songwriter based in Tenerife. She’s quite possibly something of a child prodigy; writing her first song, a single chord symphony called ‘I can play E minor’ two days after ‘borrowing’ her dad’s guitar and just one day after learning her first chord – which my friend Sherlock strongly suspects just happened to be E minor…
With not a lot of information just yet on this rising star, I’m given the opportunity to talk about the song itself. What I do know about James Hersey is he was raised in Vienna, Austria and abandoned a jazz-guitar degree to become a singer-songwriter which all started with this song…

Kicking off the beginning of a playlist designed to fill the mind with the energy to conquer any dream, battle or goal. ‘GIANT’ by Calvin Harris and Rag’n Bone Man is the epitome of what it feels like to WIN…
When I was working on building Take Over the Night, Dev Hynes was one of the first artists that came to my mind. I kept listening to his latest, Negro Swan, all the time back then and I really wanted to include one song to the list from the album…
If there’s any voice for the future and its foreboding nature, it’s Thom Yorke. He and Radiohead have become veterans of the industry, but on release, their album Kid A was met with mixed response as its futuristic use of electronic instruments and grim lyrics (even by the standards of the famously nihilistic group) were a sharp turn from their previous record- OK Computer…
It’s finally a warm night and it is welcomed with deep gratitude. The air is pleasantly humid and light breath flows in and out of my body with gentle ease. A steamy tea brews beside me. Always. Headphones are snuggly set in each ear, eagerly awaiting to float amongst the waves of sound…
This week’s track is definitely a body banger as Thomas Newson & Jack Note’s “Oh Babe” enters the curation this week. The sexy basslines and thumping beat is surely enough to get your heart racing…
When you’re writing a guest post on another curator’s playlist, you’d better bloody not bury the lede! That this spectacular track comes with an amazing video just puts it over the top – stop what you’re doing and take 5 minutes to check it out – trust me – you have the Time!..
