This week’s playlist was created by Joel WΓ€stberg, the Swedish producer behind sir Was.
“Everyday life. So many things: sad, fun, boring, surprising, unpredictable, predictable, scary, nice, weird, sunny, rainy, windy, still. Many things. I put together some music that perhaps could accompany a couple of the many, many feelings that might pass through oneβs mind during a tram ride or two. Some you might like, some you wont. Letβs go!”
1. Holger Czukay – ‘Persian Love’
“Just heard this for the first time last week. ItΒ΄s just so beautiful.”
2. Dudley Perkins – ‘Flowers’
“I can hear this everyday for the rest of my life”
3. Thomas Mapfumo & The Blacks Unlimited – ‘Kuyaura ft. Jonah Sithole’
“Melancholic, sad, striving.”
4. Milton Nascimento – ‘Minas’
“I love it when worlds collide.”
5. Domique Young Unique – ‘War Talk’
“Thatβs a flow.”
6. Sly & The Family Stone – ‘Mother Beautiful’
“Its…beautiful.”
7. Liturgy – ‘Ecstatic Rite’

8. Henry Purcell – ‘Music For A While’
