Soggy salutations to all you fine folks out there – It’s Hands® mixtape time again. Weirdo tunes throughout this month. I can’t remember the last time I felt the sun on my skin or the feeling of not being permanently damp whilst outside and I think the selection of tunes lined up reflects that –…

Welcome back everyone. Man – how has there been 10 of these now? I thought I had 5 of these playlists in me at a push. Somehow we’ve doubled that (is it just the same thing on repeat? IDK.) Anyway, what a fuckin’ way to kick off the year eh. Surprisingly though; it’s not getting…

Seasons greetings gang – We’re closing out the year with some lovely stuff for you all. I’m gonna be honest, there was deep contemplation on having the entirety of the ninth instalment of HIYE being exclusively the Charlie Brown Christmas album, but I’ve exercised restraint. Regardless, there’s some warmth to get you through the shortest…

Welcome back to the soggiest season of them all everybody. It’s bloody moody out there right now and I can assure you it ain’t any cheerier in here! Well – if you’re into moody guitar music, then maybe you might be in luck this month. We’re not gonna list of any notable mentions this month because…

There was no way in hell that I couldn’t put this months playlist up without some acknowledgment. Crazy. D’Angelo special this month. Tribe, Dilla, Slum Village, Jill Scott, The Roots, Badu and more.

Nope, I didn’t forget – just needed some time. How are we at 6 playlists already? Either we are doing the most or not enough; either way, just in time to keep those ears toasty. Fender fall season is upon us so expect icy bits with a little sunshine in-between: Oneohtrix Point Never, Braga Circuit…

Just in time for the sweaty ass end of August – HIYE#5 is here serenade your speaker system. This month is a Frankenstein of stuff in rotation and a playlist I made during lockdown 1.0 called ‘Dax Wax’ (named after the most surreal car we saw from our flat driving through empty Zone 2). It was…

I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet. We need to slow it down and remember the important things. Take time. Playlists no longer being hosted through Spotify – Do it by hand. Get out on your bike – enjoy outside.

Switching it up for instalment numero trés. Last couple times I’ve been out riding with my speaker on, I’ve had this playlist on. As it was probably evident, De La Soul was getting rinsed so I needed to diversify the portfolio. Alan the Alchemist features way too much, as well as Mos Def. This is…

Back again – round 2 baby. Another load of tunes from either current rotation, sent through friends or from Le Archive®. Personal favourites and notable mentions: I got played the Lil Ugly Mane track by a mate the other day and it blew my socks off (I thought I was relatively dialled in but clearly…
