Office Listening — May 2023 Spotify Playlist

Soundfly’s “Office Listening” is our monthly playlist on Spotify that includes selections from what the team at Soundfly HQ is listening to and enjoying, as well as newly released tracks from the Soundfly subscriber community, music from our online course instructors and mentors, and listening recommendations culled from our Discord.

This month, we’re focusing on some of our Soundfly mentors, like Brandon Miranda (whose OatMilq project has a new single out that’s blowing up), Joey Lefitz (a.k.a, j lef) and Charlotte Yates; and course instructors, like Jlin, Com Truise, Elijah Fox, and Ian Chang (whose forthcoming course is out in June). Plus, listen to new and recent Soundfly community tracks by Natalie Duque and Ella Miss.

On the cover: OatMilq (Brandon Miranda and Eros)
