Playlists

Six songs. Hand-picked. New every Friday.

A weekly editorial playlist from the Vibes side — six tracks, one mood, no algorithm. Past playlists archived here. Apple Music + Spotify links inside.

A sample week · six issues

A taste of the picks.

Issue 17 · neon dusk
For the long subway ride

Six tracks for the Q train when it's running local for no reason. Coral indigo, slow tempos, headphones-on weather.

Issue 16 · peak sun
For when it's finally bright

Tracks for the first 70-degree afternoon. All windows open, sunglasses indoors, wave at strangers.

Issue 15 · late drive
For 2am, taking the long way home

Driving songs at the hour when nobody's on the road. Indigo and amber, slow tempos, decisions you can't make in daylight.

Issue 14 · vapor
For the kitchen on a Sunday

Light, slightly weird, the kind of mix that gets you through making chili while a friend reads a book in the corner.

Issue 13 · marathon
For the run you didn't want to take

High BPM that doesn't insult your taste. Six songs that get you through the third mile.

Issue 12 · citrus glass
For 11pm, friend in town for the weekend

Songs to put on while someone you haven't seen in a year is in your kitchen catching you up. Loud enough, not too loud.

How this works

No algorithm. Some opinions.

Each playlist is hand-picked, hand-named, and gets a quick written setup explaining what mood it's for. They drop every Friday morning. Past issues stay up forever. Apple Music + Spotify links go live the moment the issue does.
