It’s throwback Thursday and I felt we all needed special flight back to the Jamaican reggae golden eras — with a little nod to home. So here are classics after classics! As you navigate through this playlist, let yourself be floaded with these reggae riddims, and bop along to the toasters that are still mainstays...Continue reading

Pure Lounge 10: Look at the Planes
The Pure Lounge series is back! (Can you believe that’s been over a year since the last one π³?). To celebrate the tenth volume, I came up with a selection to take you on a journey fueled by melody and rhythm. Let the music play (as Barry White would say π) and transport you, and...Continue reading
Fivio Foreign: Big Drip
Undoubtedly one of the most exciting and swaggy artists of this new generation, Fivio Foreign has New York rap firmly in a chokehold. With his seemingly bottomless reservoir of fly bars and catchy hooks (and the void left by the untimely demise of his friend and high-flying collaborator), Fivio Foreign has quickly risen to become...Continue reading
Le magasin des envies, Vol. 13
This one right here is in the spirit of this glorious series that has had you dim the lights and get your freak on… After a little love story, we are back with 22 tracks right for the baby making, inspired by the first track — Tory Lanez’s “F.E.E.L.S.”
Iβm Taking You to the Eighties, Vol. 4
So good we had to run it back…again! I shared this before: earlier this year, I sought out the help of a dear friend to put together this second incredible playlist you’re about to delve into. She shared her favorite rock tunes of the eighties; just as before, you will notice that it spans several...Continue reading
Le magasin des envies, Vol. 12: A Love Story
I had a lot of fun last time I took this playlist concept to weave a tale. So, I decided to give it another go. It’s still a love story that most of us can relate to. It finds someone at the end of a relationship, trying to pick up the pieces of his/her heart...Continue reading
Le magasin des envies, Vol. 11: African Nights
And just in time to say goodbye to September, we’re back to delivering the playlists you’ve been so fond of. I was elated (and, I must admit, overwhelmed π ) to see this little idea of mine stretch into a whole series spanning ten volumes…so far! I’m always eager to get into this particular zone and...Continue reading
Iβm Taking You to the Eighties, Vol. 3
A couple of years ago, I had a lot of fun revisiting the eighties and its music. Also, I always felt that it was a decade that deserved more than two playlists and a DJ mix. Earlier this year, I sought out the help of a dear friend to put together the incredible playlist you’re...Continue reading
Rock On! ππ€π½π€π½π€π½
Rock music will forever be a melting pot of influences and emotions. A Black artform from the onset, Rock & Roll transcended established codes and became at some point a vector of freedom and rebellion. Today I’m taking you along on a mission to dissect all that Rock as a genre means. Let us consider...Continue reading
Le magasin des envies, Vol. 10: Valentine’s
What can I say? The spirit of Valentine’s Day swept me today. So, I felt compelled to put together a playlist of songs to go along with the usual wining and dining that I’d enjoy with the missus. That’s before we got to serious matters — you must know by now how I get down!...Continue reading
