My Spotify playlists, let me show you them

yo, thanks for that

was disappointed to see that this thread doesn't explore the vast expanse of mutant/fake/hipster/hybrid/armchair drum 'n bass, so I ransacked Spotify's piecemeal archives f/ mutant breaks and then threw in bits of techno/industrial/noize to connect the dots (warning! may contain moments of ~conventional~ d'nb, chill out ppl). nine breezy hours of three-boots-in-a-dryer entertainment, cheers.

Thanks! I also realized that you could search "label:whatever" and got some great results that way, especially for dance music (for example, label:"paper recordings" or label:!k7).

Yeah it's useful. What I'd really like is to be able to subscribe to a label and get updates whenever it puts out something new/

Labels should maintain a playlist! For the big guys, it would be crazy-unwieldy, but for the smaller labels, it would make a ton of sense.

Also a bunch of labels seem to add releases a few weeks after they're in the shops, at which point I've forgotten that I need to look out for them.

Now what I want out of Spotify is smart playlists, or live search lists or something, where I could store a search query as a playlist, and it would get updated whenever there were new tracks that matched my query. Could that be done with an app, maybe?

I would love to be able to play a playlist without opening it first. I have one huge playlist that has to open and load thousands of tracks before it can play which takes about 5 minutes or more, I have to imagine there's a more efficient way for this to work.

thank you!!!

semi-related: if you're having problems with songs stopping and starting repeatedly, there's a solution: become a premium subscriber, make an album a playlist, and make that playlist/album Available Offline.

spottie that sub bass playlist is superb, made me realize how many songs i like have it

oh nice, glad you like it. That's my favorite playlist I've made. I need to add to it.

Rolling "new songs I like" 2014 playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/mondosalvo/playlist/4zLb5w6J6sfBy29UNfhVRb

Ha, that's about 34 more songs than on my version. Lots of albums here though: https://play.spotify.com/user/seandalai/playlist/6bZobDTz2ik30iZrMx3QeL

friend and i were talking about how jawbreaker's "i love you so much its killing us both" and against me!'s new "unconditional love" almost seemed to be about characters in conversation with each other. so we both built playlists off the notion of these two characters having this ongoing dialogue. here's mine.

Muslimgauze (minus the very early stuff and the limited editions, which is too bad cuz a lot of that is great)

30 tracks/4 hours - 1 track from every major album available. I put some of the posthumous releases in their proper place so it flows... the home studio madness kicks in at the Jaal Ab Dullah album.

I'll keep adding some more, mainly hip hop I think which also works well for running but need to test them first.

You have my attention, will try this

very nice

love that playlist moka

Thanks! I tried several of those random 'workout' playlists but none of them kept a strict 120/140 bpm tempo that I need for running so I decided to just use my ipod and skip over and over again until I bumped into songs that I could actually run to... Theres over 10,000 songs in my collection so there's hours I left out but I'll keep updating.

Also there's some less 'modern' songs which make for excellent running mates but are not available in spotify. Off the top of my head:

Neu! - Isi (140 BPM if I'm not mistaken, also Fur Immer and Hallogallo work and around the same tempo)
Human League - Rock N Roll 7" version (135 bpm)

There's a particularly long hill on my bike ride home and I usually cue up the Underworld mix of Orbita -l Lush. It's a great 'journey' song and always gets me moving.

That's a great one and at first peek it sounds like it's around 130 bpm?

Did the 120/140 today. Thanks!

I guess I'll share them all and tell you a bit about each see if any piques your interest, including the first opening acts of each playlist so you can get a better reference of what you can expect:

Bamboojazz: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3Qu6DZBfoTOP8AF1o4h2D3
I was going for afrolatin-tinged (specially Brazilian influenced) jazz on this one.
Opening artists: Yusef Lateef, Nina Simone, Kenny Burrel, Dorothy Ashby, Laurindo Almeida.

Black Devil Disco: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/1Qb69xXYizdbuCJSWTBufi
Modern (and not so modern) disco and house. I was initially going for a playlist filled with trendy italodisco but no more.
Opening artists: Black Devil Disco, Chromatics, Newworldaquarium, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas.

Berlinette: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3gGdcbukUvkPtkiQ1nfgLi
German minimal. I like to listen to this one while driving.
Opening artists: Christian Kleine, Zorn, Isan, Fujiya & Miyagi, Quarks.

Boombox: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/2Tn7HkvxvdIoMgSAV9YVN5
Not a very creative title. I started this for a friend who wanted some breaks for her dancing practices. I mostly use it to test soundsystems.
Opening artists: Ghislain Porter, Jimmy Edgar, Jamie Lidell, Junior Boys, Feadz.

Colette: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/2S4JDwyn1VVosCsFCasEYB
Another one for a friend. She has a clothing store and wanted a 'fashionista' sort of playlist. I went with a mix electro, new wave, punk-funk and postpunk.
Opening artists: Nash the Slash, Tevo Howard, Taxi Girl, ESG, The Fall.

CosmoBalearis: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/6NmTWLOGFx8QDm77dztrsf
This one is a huge mix of psychedelic folk, Kosmische, Balearic and Progressive rock. Lots of obscure tracks which I was surprised to find on Spotify.
Opening artists: Antenna, Barefoot Jerry, Barton Smith, Isis.

Countryfunk Swampblues: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/1A5LQOLAUa3TK6ChYLGeRw
Just as the title says. The swampy, seedy type of country and blues with a dash of funk here and there.
Opening artists: 7 Walkers, Al Green, Amos Milburn, Anthony Hamilton.

Favela Chic: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/4qmpSh4QgfFUnxVthPbGfU
I think this is my most popular playlist? It's all over the place... I guess the concept behind it is tropical party. Cumbia, Bossa, Salsa, Samba, Chicha, Reggae, latin funk.
Opening artists: Las 4 Monedas, TNT Band, Joao Donato, Ray & His Court, Los Destellos.
