When we listen to music that moves us, the dopaminergic circuitry of the brain is activated, which opens the mind to wonder and exploration. In this bodily state of musical awe, we often tear up and get the chills, those embodied signs of merging with others to face mysteries and the unknown… Music breaks down the boundaries between self and other and can unite us in feelings of awe… When we listen to music with others, the great rhythms of our bodies — heartbeat, breathing, hormonal fluctuations, sexual cycles, bodily motion — once separate, merge into a synchronized pattern. We sense that we are part of something larger, a community, a pattern of energy, an idea of the times — or what we might call the sacred. -Dacher Keltner

MIXTAPES
October Mixtape
It’s an upbeat dinner party playlist with a little something for everyone. Take a journey through soulful jazz, introspective rap, indie folk-rock, upbeat electronic and ethereal melodies.
September Mixtape
In Southern California, the lingering heat makes it perfect for leisurely afternoon pool floats. And that's precisely the indulgence I'm yearning for — reclining on a float, humming along to this playlist, all while relishing a refreshing beverage. My affection for Country music dates back to my 8th-grade days, and it continues to hold a special place in my heart.
August Mixtape
Dedicated to Kevin’s son, Marlow. His name means driftwood. He's a water sign. And he couldn't be more at home on the lake. Enjoy this playlist during a summer full of sunshine, swimming and memories.
July Mixtape
Long beach days, backyard dinner parties, picnics at the park, weekend getaways, extended vacations, sun-kissed afternoons, are all part of the beauty we get to revel in during the summer. This playlist is a potpourri of old school, dancy, soulful, funky and just all around classic tunes that will set the slow and low vibe for your summer.
June Mixtape
We’re bringin’ that old thing back... Ja Rule, Bad Bunny, Tina Turner, Labrinth, La Roux, Kid Cudi, Jay-Z, HAIM, The Weekend, Post Malone, Selena Gomez and so much more. It’s the soundtrack to my life.
