To share a bit of DEV Team lore— We do Music League for our team, to share a bit of music with each other every week and I LOVE listening to our playlists that we have made!

Here is one from recent:

That's the mentioned playlist: an eclectic mixture inspired by reminiscence of r&b videos featuring rainy streets, neon light, old records, and the limited palette with its blueish default colors of commodore 64 vintage home computers. Added some more tunes inspired by IDE themes like night shift, night owl, and sakura, the Japanese word for the pink cherry blossom color in spring, and some more vintage digital sounds like the great Giana sisters, Kraftwerk, Planet Rock, and some vintage-inspired retro electro like Luke Hash's Amiga.

Came across a brother by the name of Teddy Swims on YouTube over the weekend. I came across him going down that rabbit hole that it likes to put us in

YES!!! I love Teddy Swims. Great mention, Stefan!

I remember stumbling on him during COVID, but I kinda forgot about him. It looks like he's been doing the damn thing! He's got so many videos now and they look damn good!

Anywho, here's a good one of him covering MJ's Rock With You.

If you like synthesizer music, I recommend checking out Moog Music's Moog Sound Lab playlist on YouTube... basically, different artists come visit Moog in Asheville and record on Moog instruments.

Here's a cool one by Sylvan Esso, a duo who hail from Durham, NC. Can't believe this was recorded 10 years ago! 🤯

I am listening to this Swedish artist at the moment 🇸🇪 She reminds me a bit of Anna Ternheim. Surely our Swedish friends here will recognise both or either of them!

Good stuff, Bruno! She's got a great voice. I've not listened to much Swedish music, so this is really cool to hear. Thankya for chiming in with this suggestion! 😀
