February Recap
Check out some of the best songs released in February by Jon Hood, Markus Nikolaus, Sensu, Amber Arcades, and Rosa Rendl.
reLISTEN #12: Zeilensounds
reLISTEN #12 brings you five tracks recommended by my colleagues at work.
In August 2022, I started a new job at the software agency Zeilenwerk in Bern, Switzerland. One of the first Slack channels I was invited to was #music_n_stuff, where we mainly post random songs or albums.
The channel has been a great source of inspiration, especially in the electronic music department. So I decided to give some of my work colleague's recommendations a bigger platform.
Fuse
Edition #77 dives into the hottest Swiss music releases and takes a detour to Austria and the United Kingdom.
Cloudy To Foggy
Five freshly curated tracks to dream, dance, and urge.
No, this isn't your weekly weather forecast. However, it might seem that way with track titles that translate to "cloud cover" and "sea of fog".
But today's selection might, in fact, be more on the colder side. Songs that build the perfect soundtrack to stay inside and reflect and dream. With one sweaty garage punk burst of sunshine.
Overflow
Edition #75 brings you a flavour of addictive beats, gentle melodies, and mysterious soundscapes.
Overflow is definitely a fitting title for this week‘s selection. With January gone, more artists line up their releases and choosing five songs becomes even more challenging.
I could have easily filled two editions. But Weekly5 is about limitation and, to some extent, sacrifice.
reLISTEN #11: Shazam
Today's reLISTEN edition #11 brings you a selection of five tracks discovered via the recognition app Shazam.
Do you remember when it was a hassle to figure out which song you hear right now? However, when smartphones rose to the all-encompassing devices, the app Shazam also came into our lives and empowered us to research a track with the push of a button.
Although I’m not a regular Shazam user, the app comes in handy here and there. So I thought I share five songs I discovered thanks to “shazamming” them.
January Recap
Check out some of the best songs released in January by Kaufmann Frust, Red Telephone, M. ilune, Josienne Clarke, and Juri Volta.
When The Night Is Back in Me
Enjoy edition #74 with dreamy, danceable, wild dark tunes interlaced with psychedelic rays of sunshine.
Sometimes my focus shifts away from Weekly5 as I’m obsessing over other things in my life. Then, curating music feels more like a chore than a joy.
However, the musicians always get me back under their spell with their exceptional craft. And I’m pretty sure, despite here and there, some distractions will arise, music will always be a significant part of my life.
With that said, just a short announcement: This year’s first edition of reLISTEN will land in your inbox next week. It’s a selection of five songs discovered via the music-recognising app Shazam.
