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
MIHO
MIXTAPES
November Mixtape
A delightful mix by our friends over at Una Lou. I took the liberty of adding a few songs, making it the perfect length to put on while you’re making a warm & hearty dish to share with the ones you love.
September Playlist
A playlist inspired by that dreamy, soft, warm light as the sun starts to go down. Best paired with your favorite glass of wine.
August Mixtape
This is one of our longer mixtapes, meant for the hours sittin’ poolside with a few friends, sippin’ on something refreshing, dippin’ in the cool water, and adjusting those shades.
May Mixtape
Red solo cups and throwback tracks from college make this playlist a good one for your next backyard bar-b-que.
February Mixtape
February’s playlist is here. And, the theme? Falling in love. Falling out of love. It’s a journey.
January Mixtape
MIHO’s monthly playlist drop. Curated by co-founder, Juan Mirón, this month’s musical inspiration comes from growing up in Tijuana in the 90’s. It’s beats without borders.
