I put this playlist together on an early Sunday morning after a foggy, cold walk, back at my desk, drinking my first cup of coffee of the day. That early-morning stillness is captured in the calm waves of Passerpartout Duo (pianist Nicoletta Favari and percussionist Christopher Salvito) and in the otherworldly sounds of Tarawangsawelas and their contemporary interpretations of sacred music from Sundanese West Java.

Welcome to another Monday Morning Brew Playlist. This selection leans heavily into UK and US folk traditions, featuring artists like Steeleye Span, Lal Waterson, John Jacob Niles, and contemporary torchbearers such as Jake Blount and Lisa O’Neill. There’s a nice emotional resonance between some of those featured, including Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, and Sufjan Stevens, as well as some newer inclusions from the likes of Ganavya & Sam Amidon.

We bring you another Monday Morning Brew playlist, one that is far removed from the commercial world of AI-music & payola. This isn’t background easy listening…it champions creativity and the diverse, challenging music that enriches our lives.

A curated expedition through the dusty backrooms of musical history. This set blends the raw soul of Darondo and the Afro-funk of Karl Hector with the avant-jazz of Gábor Szabó. It embraces global rhythms and cinematic textures, moving seamlessly from the 1960s underground to modern experimentalism. From Buddy Rich’s big band swing to Caribou’s electronic pulse, this is a sophisticated soundtrack for the discerning listener.
