nov ’25 mixtape – 17 fresh tracks to soundtrack your autumn nights

In partnership with

okay everybody, we did it. we made it to the last month of the year. how crazy is that. now i know there are a lot of you who are new on this here newsletter. in fact, a lottttt of you are new. to give you an idea, i stumbled across a photo i took a while ago of me freaking out that this newsletter had hit 250 subscribers. it felt like a big deal at the time (and it was!) but to be honest we do that in a few weeks nowadays. it’s crazyyyyyy. so to all of you newbies, welcome! december is a special time for me, it’s when my birthday is, it’s when christmas is, it’s when i go home and see family and sit around and do sweet fuck all but eat and vibe. and that’s exactly what i’m going to do. but as well as that, here’s my schedule for the next few weeks:

this week: normal playlist week, you’re reading this one already!
next week: the survey - i want to hear from you, what do you like, what do you want more or less of, how can this newsletter get better. keep your eyes peeled for that!
the week after that: the roundup, a monsterrrrr playlist of every track i’ve recommended in the header of these emails
and finally, week after: the triple whammy, every song i’ve reviewed, every song that’s been submitted, and the best of the year.

after that, back to normal programming! so let’s get started, with this weeks playlists:

oh and p.s.

thank you to everyone who expressed interest in writing! i’ll be in touch soon to start sorting out plans for next year. applications are very much still open, so if anybody else is feeling like they’d like to be part of this, let me know here:

would you be interested in writing for a single song review?

i'm on the lookout for the next generation of writers; you! perhaps. people interested in music and keen to let the world read about it.

what did you think of this latest playlist?

do you want more like this? less like this? something else than this? let us know!

or join the conversaiton, leave a comment here and tell us what songs we should add!
