The Top One Percenters Playlist Volume 26

Just got back to NYC. Spent the past week in Spain and Morocco for my birthday. This isn't the playlist we pregamed to (that was SICKO MODE on repeat, literally), but we drove to Morocco on these songs.

• SAINt JHN's "White Parents Are Gonna Hate This" is a pulse-poundingly aggressive banger
• Cruel Youth's "Devil in Paradise" will haunt you
• Mall Girl's "Slay Queen" will have you wondering who this new band is
• Mavi Phoenix's "Prime" will get you into Austrian rap
• WWwater's Screen" will have you wondering wtf you just listened to

The list goes on and on. Check out The Top One Percenter's Playlist Volume 26. And lmk what you think of the new logo.

The Top One Percenters Playlist Volume 25

I'm *kind of* able to do these with a little bit of regularity, but not as frequently as I want. I had most of these tracks selected a few weeks ago but am only now getting around to putting everything together.

The 25th playlist includes some really amazing work from Takeoff of the Migos ("Infatuation" is probably the most fully realized track I've ever from Migos/Migos members), new/newer artist like Glowie and Kiiara, house/dance artist Robyn (probably best known for "Dancing on my Own" and whose new album, Honey, is up there as one of the best albums of 2018) and amazing new sounds from Icona Pop and Empress Of. Check out the earlier Top One Percenters Playlist here.

The Top One Percenters Playlist Volume 24

Volume 24.

The Top One Percenters Mixtape Vol 23

It always takes me a bit of time to put these together, mostly because I'm super selective about the music I listen to and decide to share with other people. I generally got to fall in love with a track in order to share it because I feel like I'm putting my name on the line, even for something as simple as a song recommendation. Check out volume 23 (and every playlist before it). Some of the cuts (and reasoning) include:

• Ariana Grande (pronounced Grand-ee) - Breathin': In her come back from a terrorist attack at one of her concerts, she puts everything into her upcoming 3rd single. It's one of the most powerful, optimistic and incredible tracks I've heard in a long time
• Calvin Harris - Promises: This dude does nothing but make hit
• RL Grime - OMG ft. Chief Keef: Chief Keef has a second career making electronic dance music. He's got similar tracks with Alison Wonderland and NERVO
• Alison Wonderland - No: Singer, producer, DJ, writer - she just makes hits
• Jungle - Busy Earnin': Just makes you wanna dance
• 5 Seconds of Summer - Talk Fast: I wish I was 10 years younger when 1D was big. Boy bands are back in style
• Diane Birch - All The Love You Got: I get a little sad everytime I hear this track, but in a good way. The writing on this track is fucking incredible

The Top One Percenters Mixtape Volume 22

Twice in one year? I'm officially back on my mixtape game lol. After taking 3 years between volume 20 and 21, we're trying to do things a bit quicker these days. The Top One Percenters Mixtape is up and running. See below for the Spotify embed. Included are superstars like Drake ("That's How You Feel") and Pusha T ("What Would Meek Do?"), but also a lot of summertime flexes and remixes from  Cardi B ("I Like It" Dillon Francis Remix) Dagny, Dua Lipa, Sean Paul (yes, that Sean Paul), Rae Sremmurd and more. Check out the rest of the mixtapes here and follow on Spotify.

The Top One Percenters Mixtape: Volume 21

Goddamn. It feels good to be back. It's literally been more than 3 fucking years since I've done one of the Top One Percenters Mixtape. Having a fucking job, man. It gets in the way. Maybe I'll take the summer off. TBD. But then, I think to myself, I have a second career as a professional money spender, so maybe I shouldn't quit my job lol. Either way, check out the mixtape, volume 21. New bangers to get your summer started. Check out the old mixtapes here.

Introducing...Alison Wonderland

Sometimes you have to stop what you're doing and pay attention when dope shit is happening. I'm in the middle of watching HBO's Going Clear (the Scientology documentary), and I had to hit the pause button so I could write this post. Alison Wonderland is an Australian DJ turned producer turned singer/songwriter. I got hip to her earlier this morning through ToneDeaf's 17 Aussie Ladies Who Are Making Pop Music Cool Again article. I heard "Cold" and immediately knew I found a fucking gem. Like Charlotte OC's "If My House Was Burning" from a few days ago, I knew instantly this was a track (and by extension, an artist) that I'm gonna fuck with for weeks, months and years to come. You know it's a good song when you hear the lyrics and imagine Drake singing them lol. Show love and check out Alison Wonderland's Facebook, Twitter, and Soundcloud, and buy her debut album, Run, on iTunes.
