Office Listening — September 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 featuring Soundfly community members like G.G. and Deltapov, course instructors like Kiefer, The Pocket Queen, Kaelin Ellis, and RJD2, and references students have been using for their tracks like Alabaster DePlume, OKRAA, Royal Blood, and Ólafur Arnalds. We’re also featuring the three tracks from this week’s brand new Themes and Variation podcast episode (the comeback!). Lastly, between our staff and the community chat channels, we’re just grooving really hard on new releases by L’Rain, Mitski, Sufjan Stevens, The Chemical Brothers, Gucci Mane, and more.
