Of all the seasonal playlists I put together every year, my autumn mix is always my favorite. The days are short as the earth is retreating back into herself. The mind, heart and body are inhaling, reserving their strength for the long winter ahead. October invites the comfortable and the strange, a contrast and tension that I try to weave into this playlist. Familiar and strange, grounding and ethereal, moving in the liminal space between two worlds, the one that came before and the one ahead.

This mix features some of my favorite new artists like FKA twigs and Sylvan Esso, and a new release from old favorites like The Future Sound of London and Zola Jesus. Hoping this music helps you get through your work day or tap into your power during this season when the veils are thin and the energy is wild.
