Slowly starting the weekend musical journey with Anoushka. Proof that the best music doesn’t recognise borders.

𝙟𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙩. already owned the room — the remixes just turned the lights down. Guarding this 𝙟𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙩.𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙙 like museum property in 2026, now priced like it’s auditioning for Sotheby’s. Dropped on this day in ’95. #janetjackson

25 years on and Discovery still hits. ‘One More Time’ had us acting up in the club, Matsumoto sent us straight back to those ’70s Harlock vibes, and the sample chops still go stupid. Timeless. #daftpunk #discovery

Lennox took a covers album and turned it into a self‑portrait. She bends every track into her own palette, lifts 𝘼 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙚 to a new altitude, and proves—six million copies later—that she got it right. #annielennox

Some classic Faithless to kick off the afternoon — one of my proper faves. Maxi Jazz still hits like he’s talking straight in your ear. “Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction.” No Roots moves like a sermon under strobe lights. #faithless

It kills me how Bruno flirts with plagiarism and walks off clean. If you don’t know the references, it sounds genius; if you’ve got any musical culture, it doesn’t land. Fun? Yes. Enough? No. And he never leaves his comfort zone. #brunomars

Played this to death back in 2002 — early‑2000s electro that still sounds fresh as hell. Cold glow, warm pulse, zero bullshit. Melody A.M. stays one of the cleanest, most influential drops of its era. #royksopp

Been rinsing The Mountain since Friday and I’m obsessed. Might be Gorillaz’ best — heart, soul, the lot. World‑tour energy, big colours, big feelings, pure chaos‑magic. Album of the year vibes already. #gorillaz #themountain

Say what you like, but Mechanical Animals is the one Manson album you actually need. Melodic, conceptual, cohesive — and the visuals stay slick, album art to videos. Pure pastel nihilism and alien‑pop swagger. #marilynmanson

Ray of Light hit like a shift in the air. Frozen set the tone with that stunning Cunningham visual, and decades later the album still hasn’t aged — maybe it’s that blend of electronic textures and live instruments. #madonna #rayoflight

First track is the whole reason I pulled up, if you know, you know… But Say You Love Me goes crazy. Big vocals, big feelings, no playing cute. Jennifer Holliday belts like she’s shaking the paint off the walls. #jenniferholliday #sayyouloveme

Proper floaty business from Orbit — all warm synths, soft pulses and that early‑90s glow. Strange Cargo III still glides like a late‑night wander when the world feels lighter. Pure magic. #williamorbit #strangecargoiii

Nina Hagen’s 𝙉𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙠𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙠 is straight‑up cosmic mayhem — punk, opera, and Berlin weirdness smashing together at full speed. One minute cartoon demon, next alien diva over post‑punk rubble. Messy, theatrical, mad original. Pure avant‑madness. #ninahagen #nunsexmonkrock

Some Police to start the day. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚 might be rinsed but still a classic — the real gem is 𝙒𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝘼𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧, all cold groove and quiet power flex. #thepolice

Cyndi storms the dancefloor on Bring Ya to the Brink, teaming with Basement Jaxx, Axwell, Kleerup, and The Scumfrog for a late‑00s electro glow‑up. Wild, joyful, and still hitting hard. #cyndilauper

Roger Rabbit dropped like a bomb — too spicy for Disney, too wild to tame. Silvestri’s score still slaps harder than anything the Mouse cooked since the 90s. #whoframedrogerrabbit #alansilvestri #soundtrack

30 years of All Eyez on Me and it still moves like a fresh flex. “California Love” stalked me everywhere, but the deeper cuts stayed breathing room. Wild how nowadays folks rock 2Pac tees without knowing five songs. Headache material. #2pac #alleyezonme

Still buzzing that I saw Diana Ross live last summer — was hyped the moment Paris was announced. Celebrating 50 years of her ’76 album: classy cover, iconic switch‑up on “Love Hangover,” still the blueprint. Japan press = pure sound pleasure. #dianaross

With the shitty weather lately, I needed some sunshine in the house, and this album delivers. Warm horns, rolling percussion, and pure joy. No trends, just culture and groove. Decades later, it still hits. #gloriaestefan

40 years on and Control still feels futuristic. Jam & Lewis built a whole universe. Pleasure Principle stays my fave, never skipping Let’s Wait Awhile. Time really flies. #janetjackson #control #control40

In ’91 the Chili Peppers bottled sweat, funk & chaos into Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Everyone knows Give It Away & Under the Bridge, but I ride with If You Have to Ask & Funky Monks. Still untamed, still burning. #RHCP

Dodged that sloppy vinyl rollout — not dropping 40€ for mid audio. CDs play clean. Hit n Run Phase One is Prince in mad‑scientist mode, bending funk and pop like rules don’t apply. #prince #hitnrunphaseone

The first three albums are essential for any trip‑hop/electro head — you’ve heard their sound in films and ads without realising. This one’s pure after‑hours haze: London grit, dusty Western vibes, a slow grip you can’t shake. Start here. #deathinvegas

Michael mid‑glow‑up on the J5’s first live album — reaching for those sky‑high notes, fighting some, flipping others, always winning. Pure evolution in real time, with classic cuts, early MJ gems, and killer covers. #jackson5

From Japanese surf‑rock to Morricone heartbreakers, these albums still hit like a katana to the chest. A killer soundtrack for a killer movie — pure cinematic chaos, stylish as hell, and cooler than any playlist has business being. #killbill #soundtrack #quentintarantino

Could be the best electronic drop of ’97, who knows — but it’s firmly in my top five. Pure chaos, pure charge. Still hits like a riot. Their peak, no contest. #theprodigy #thefatoftheland

Happy birthday to the one and only Jody Watley — iconic and inspiring. Her music moves me, but her spirit even more. In the winter chill, I’m honouring her with the glow of Winter Nights. Longevity and soul, always. #jodywatley

Dropped a classic in 2004, vanished, teased comebacks… still nothing. But this album? Fresh electro with that 80s shimmer and zero ego. Still hits harder than half today’s playlists. #mylo #destroyrockandroll

Sat in a Paris theatre on Sept 8th 2003 for that wild global Bowie promo gig — first interactive show I ever saw. “Reality” still hits: cracked, sharp, and miles ahead. Still need to snag Ready, Set, Go for the memories. #davidbowie

Talk about some iconic duo — and I hate that word. Everything gets called iconic now: mid snacks, dusty socks, TikTok bare-minimums. But Tracey & Ben? They’re the real deal. Temperamental is late‑night elegance for when the lights come up and you’re still in the vibe. #ebtg
