STAFF PICKS: GET-ME-OUT-THE-DOOR TRACKS
It’s time for another round of staff picks! Here are our favourite tracks to get you out the door and ready to face the world.
HATTIE LONG – MUSIC RESEARCHER
Charli XCX & Troye Sivian: “1999”
“For me it has to be 1999 by Charli XCX. It’s a camp, tongue in cheek nostalgia fest and never fails to get me hyped to get wherever I need to go. I once strutted to it too aggressively in my room and slipped over, so really it should come with a health warning. Still worth it though.”
MARC TANZMANN – HEAD OF MUSIC/MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Nalin & Kane: “Beachball”
“Beachball” by Nalin & Kane which makes me want to go out to the beach”
KATE SZKOLNY-APSEY – MUSIC RESEARCHER
Tom Petty: “American Girl”
“I love Tom Petty and am still upset that I didn’t get to see him when he played Hyde Park with Stevie Nicks (another of my faves). This song reminds me of dancing around the kitchen with my mum and driving in her car. It’s my feel good, get-up-and-go track!”
ANNA MURAKAMI – MUSIC PRODUCTION COORDINATOR
DYGL: “Spit It Out”
“Driving, running, surfing, skate boarding, biking… this song fits every occasion where you need to gear up. I think.”
JERRY WANG – ASSOCIATE MUSIC CONSULTANT
J. J. Cale: “Call Me The Breeze”
“Every time I hear this tune, I feel like walking on the road towards breeze. A magical feeling!”
BEN ESSER – EXECUTIVE MUSIC PRODUCER
A$AP Rocky feat. Skepta: “Praise The Lord (Da Shine)”
“The beat is heavy. Kind of amazing to hear Skepta and Asap Rocky together. Gets me hyped every-time.”
JAZZ VAN RAVENSWAAIJ – MUSIC SCOUT
Guns ‘n Roses: “Paradise City”
“I love Guns ‘n Roses, and I have listened to Paradise city so many times when I was about to go somewhere… It brings me back to that feeling you get when you are about to go on an adventure.”
