I’ve stumbled upon quenmix quite a while ago but their most recent set is by faaaar my favorite. The song choices together with the beautiful cafe backdrop is just soooooo good (and it has my fav jungle song in it too).
Their nha nhac series is basically djs playing their sets with the backdrop of vietnams city life (locations range from markets to barber shops and more) so if you’re a fan of checking out new dj sets or having chill music playing while working on stuff give it a try :)

Recently added a tape deck to my hifi and have been having a blast making mix tapes. There’s something therapeutic about writing a track list and getting the recording just right.
This mix is all my favourite Tiny Desk performances. Side A is more danceable and Side B is slightly more subdued. What’s great about recording live sets is you capture the artists chit chatting and the crowd. Perfect for Tiny Desks too as everyone seems to be having a lot of fun.
I’ve also got a quick slice of Elmo introducing and closing each side with a few words from Bob Boilen about the impact of music and Tiny Desk.

I prefer to work while listening to music, but I get distracted if there are too many lyrics. As a result, I listen to a lot of electronic music, and SoundCloud (and sometimes Mixcloud) is the best platform to hear a DJ set. I made a few mixes during the pandemic, which you can listen to here. I’m not great at physically mixing records — CDJs are easy enough, but beatmatching on wax is a truly difficult craft I respect! — so I often sample a movie quote or YouTube deep cut to transition between tunes. If you want to hear real DJs, below is a collection of sets, mixes, and a couple radio shows I’ve been hitting as of late. Vibe-wise, they lean towards 303s, Drexciya-era electro, early UK dubstep/bass, and film score gems — in other words, downright slappers left and right.

its actually quite relaxing to do and depending on who you‘re writing to you get to yap a lot. My friend likes adding random questions to think about too in case you can‘t think of anything. Plus it‘s like a little time capsule you receive from friends or pen pals. Also your stationary actually gets put to use instead of catching dust if you‘re like me and enjoy buying and collecting it.
