House Music: C&G-approved playlists for autumn
While the autumn leaves may be afire with orange and yellow, the thermostat is sitting on blue, and autumn is definitely in the air. There’s been some great new releases in music this month, from emerging Australian artists like Safia and Client Liaison to new releases from The Temper Trap, Sia and Beyoncé. Whether you’re at the office, having a night in or hitting the gym, C&G has brought you the right kind of ‘chill’ with our top Spotify playlists for those melancholy autumn days.
Vibe: Upbeat, easy-listening indie rock
Just because it’s indie doesn’t mean it can’t be a chart-topper! Discover the latest and greatest tunes from Australia and abroad with this Spotify-original playlist. From Kanye and Drake to Flume and brand-new music from Radiohead, The Indie Mixtape will keep your tunes fresh for over three hours.
Vibe: Top 40, pop ballads and RnB
A bit of Justin, a bit of RiRi, and a bit of Zayn mixed in with ultra-smooth tracks from Rudimental, Kiiara and Mike Posner makes this playlist a crowd-pleaser! Throw it on in the office or as background music while you cook dinner.
Vibe: A New York speakeasy in the forties
Here’s one for those rainy Autumn evenings. Pop on this classic line-up featuring Billie Holiday, Trixie Smith, Bobby Cadillac and Memphis Minnie (among other awesome names) for a romantic evening in – just add red wine!
Vibe: Pop songs with great beats that you forgot you secretly like
Here’s some old and new favourites to get your blood pumping! Whether you’re pounding the pavement or destroying the cross-trainer at the gym, these high-tempo tracks will have you sweating. Telephone by Lady Gaga, Like a G6 from Far East Movement and Stronger from Kanye West are just a few of yesteryears favourites that still drive a great workout.
Autumn is in the air
Vibe: Acoustic ballads and ambient electronica
Foals, Jack Garret, Alt-J and Bon Iver make this playlist one for the hipsters, but anyone can enjoy the ultra-chill sounds of these long-haired boy bands. The song tempos are slow and mostly in minor keys, but you will find some great harmonies in there as well. A perfect overtone for rainy autumn days – and a favorite at open for inspections!
