Hi my friends. I am going to start doing semi-regular playlists of music that are laid back, joyful, soul warming. Music that will help you to get through hard times in self-isolation, particularly if you are separated from those you love, or if you are feeling lonely.
These mixes will be eclectic styles – house, ambient, world, 70’s soul, jazz, big beat, hip-hop a bit of Polish funk thrown in. Anything that makes you feel good. Best heard with good quality headphones. 4
Also just putting it out there, if anyone wants to have a chat, shoot me a private message and we can do a whatsapp chat or exchange some emails. It’s physical isolation not social isolation after all, so let’s stick together.

I’m halfway through these. The Polish stuff is brilliant. Another new avenue to explore. Curtis Mayfield is beautiful beyond words. Thanks for the intros, as ever!

Yeah I know right! I actually can’t get all the credit for these finds, although I will take it hehe. A person called Hardcore Kochanie (Polish) or Hardcore darling on You Tube has an absolutely epic playlist of favourites where I discovered a lot of these. A mix of 70s funk, triphop, psychedelic, underground rock music. Sorry that I dont post my real name on here, I try and avoid it because sometimes I post about personal stuff and it could be considered controversial for my job. I like being called Catnip 🐱 on here anyway hehe thank you for your lovely feedback on my blog Kev and I’m enjoying listening to your chapters, take care mate. 😉

The Polish stuff is awesome Catnip. I should have known it would be. Finding good new music is almost the best thing in the world. Bunging on the headphones and plugging into fresh sounds helps me work – so cheers! 🙂 🙂
