musical addiction across 5 decades by Mia Koden

1. Ago - ESP (2025)

"Ago has always been that guy when it comes to making vibey tracks. His entire catalogue is inspiring and essential. This has been a set staple the past year or so. You may or may not be hearing some collab stuff from us incoming..."

2. Heny G - Colours (2010)

"Synthy, subby, steppy. And very dreamy. My YouTube looping days are finally over as I have just secured a copy of this."

3. Brandy - It’s Not Worth It (2002)

"This album in my walkman had me in a chokehold, Brandy’s voice is so silky. Listening with older ears, I appreciate the producer Darkchild's clever sampling moments to connect this song to his other work. Fun fact: most of my tracks I've made connect to each other through a mad hatter venn diagram I've made."

4. Queens of the Stone Age - Avon (1998)

"I love opn, it's so hard to choose one track but this one is so good. All of these Juno 60 sounds collapse in on each other. I have a playlist with all of my favourite music from him, and it's mostly pre R Plus Seven Juno 60 jams. "

5. Love Joys - All I Can Say (1983)

"For me it’s the “Reggae Style” edition; eight and a half minutes of dubbed out bliss rolling straight from the stunning vocals into the dub version = twice as nice. When you do hear the lyrics, they come with a pensive and cautionary message as songwriter Sonia Abel wrote this in a taxi on her way home from a shooting at a dancehall in New York"
