- 😄 new playlist: feb '24 mixtape!
2024 is off to a great start, personally speaking. i’m about, a third? of the way through my resolutions. actually, have made some really big changes to my life if i’m honest with you. i really almost don’t recognise myself in a lot of ways to this time last year. for one thing, i got to see dune part two which i mentioned a few issues ago, and here i am nearly a week later still absolutely gassed about it.
but as much as things change, things also often stay very much the same and one of my favourite activities of the month has rolled around again. playlist time. so here it is, this months playlist, a lil collection of bangers arranged in a fun lil order that will, i think, keep you listening to fresh and new bits and bobs for at least an hour.

welcome to our exploration of a playlist that weaves together the rich tapestry of musical genres, offering a journey through soundscapes that range from the introspective strumming of indie folk to the electric pulses of alternative rock. as we delve into this playlist, each track is not just a song but a portal to a distinct musical universe, where the artist's expression and genre's characteristics interlace to create something unique.
unraveling our feb ‘24 mixtape
indie tracks to lose yourself InÂ
at the heart of this playlist lie indie and alternative rock, genres known for their broad spectrums and often introspective lyrics. bands like the k's and real estate bring forth a sound that is at once familiar and boundary-pushing. their songs, 'sarajevo' and 'flowers' respectively, carry the hallmark of indie's authentic, grassroots vibe while flirting with the experimental edges of alternative rock.
electronic & pop fusion
dua lipa's 'houdini' and noah kahan's 'stick season' stand out as exemplars of the intersection between pop and electronic music. the former infuses the catchy, anthemic quality of pop with electronic's rhythmic and synthetic textures, creating a song that's both club-ready and emotionally resonant.
rock - enduring flame
paramore's 'burning down the house' captures the enduring spirit of rock music. the track's driving guitars and potent vocals are a nod to the genre's legacy of rebellion and its ability to adapt and thrive in the modern musical landscape. an intruiging and exciting take on the talking heads classic, delivered with the firely love of lifelong fans.
the introspective and bold strokes of indie pop
conan gray's 'lonely dancers' and suki waterhouse's 'omg' are testaments to the emotive power of indie pop. they provide a canvas for personal expression within the framework of catchy melodies and approachable rhythms, defining the genre's ability to connect with listeners on a personal level.
dance - your rhythmic escapeÂ
the dance category is where beats reign supreme. justice’s "generator" is a track that encapsulates the essence of this genre—vibrant, energetic, and impossible not to move to. it's a sound that brings people together, under the lights, and onto the dance floor.
the eclectic mix found in this playlist garners high ratings across music platforms, with individual tracks receiving acclaim for their artistry and innovation within their genres. fans and critics alike praise the playlist for its diversity and ability to craft a narrative through music that transcends the boundaries of genre.
