Context
I consume a lot of music — genres from 90's neo-soul, rnb and hip-hop to japanese city pop, and spanish boleros. Every day is a different vibe, and I share this vibe with my loved ones. I love to chat music, so if you're curious about anything please shoot me an email: marcechaman@gmail.com
Dec 2024
CHORRITO PA LAS ANIMAS — Feid — It's warm in Malaga, so it's a vibe.
Flirting in Space — Brad stank — I love his other song Pond Weed, but this is just a fitting song for my point in life.
Landline — binki — Just a good song.
The Scene — K. Roosevelt — K. Roosevelt is an underrated artist with amazing creative direction from Sean Brown.
Colouor – Moses Sumney — Godly loop.
Really good cry — BETWEEN FRIENDS — One of my most played songs in 2024.
UOENO — Black Hippy — My favourite song by the short-lived Black Hippy group.
Poison — Nilo Blues — Toronto-based artist who I met when I was like 16 (?). Thought he was super cool and got obsessed with his music for a while.
Silver Lines — IAMDDB — Nice electronic hiphop vibe.
Agora Hills — Doja Cat — Great 808s. Catchy vibes. Get me in the zone like crazy.
Don't Matter (feat. Michael Jackson) — Drake — I thought this song was over-hated when it came out. He bought the vocals from the Jackson Estate, and used them on a good song within the same topic of the original lyrics. I like this song.
Super Stars — Yves Tumor — One of my favourite live shows that I showed up to before knowing who they were. Amazing song, even better live.
PHONICS — Asha Imuno — Incredible bass. Cool vibe.
Nov 2024
She Said — Katie Tupper — Canadian artist who is criminally underrated.
Algun Contexto — Armenia — A good indie rock song in spanish that one of my favourite people showed me.
hey now — Kendrick Lamar — I'm all about my Yen.
Take Me For a Little While — The Royal Jesters — A favourite of mine because of the Kid Cudi's interpolation on Ghost Town.
Searching – Donnie & Joe Emerson — Insane pull by my friend Micah at 20 000 streams. It's a beautifully raw funk/yachty rock song.
Indeed — Cruza — Cruza gives me Steve Lacy, Gorillaz, etc. vibes.
Plastic 100ºC — Sampha — A meaningful Sampha track. Nothing crazy, but felt right given the current things on my mind.
MM..FOOD (20th Anniversary Edition) — MF DOOM — One of my favourite albums ever. My brother showed me this in highschool, and it introduced me to older rap of this style. All caps when you spell the mans name.
Tú Con El – Frankie Ruiz — The first spanish song I fell in love with in my 20s. It's an incredible story.
Alrighty Aphrodite — Peach Pit — A song that reminds me of an old friend, and my first week at university. A local band played their first gig at a restaurant on the main street of Kingston, ON, and I photographed it. It's an incredible track.
Shotput — Still Woozy — Groovy, beautiful track. Still Woozy was one of the first indie artists I got super into.
Cry for you — September – My mom loved this song. Amazing dance/techno-pop song.
wyd — Remi Wolf — Just a vibe. Reminds me of oh my love by FKA twigs.
Sexy to Someone — Clairo — Clairo vibes today. Madrid's kinda cloudy.
So[Rt] — Knxwledge — My introduction to instrumental hiphop that could be in your rotation daily.
Anti-glory — horsegirl — Nice post-punk/indie vibe with great chords.
Hello goodbye — Charlie XCX — Simply just a good vibe.
1 Thing — Amerie — Went to a hip-hop club. Got me in the grove of mid 2000s female rap & r&b.
Red Wine Supernova — Chappell Roan — A song that reminds me of my friend who showed me Chappell Roan before anyone really knew about her.
トーキョーレギー — Masayoshi Takanaka — Japanese city pop from 1976. Making colours feel brighter and the sun shine harder.
Something Cool (Mono) — June Christy — Stolen from the North Hollywood soundtrack. A beautiful song.
Lemon Grass — MF DOOM — A Metal Fingers track that the world under appreciates, but every fan loves. Makes you feel like a kid playing outside as summer is ending, realizing you are growing up.
High and Dry — Radiohead — Classic Radiohead.
oh my love — FKA twigs — It's okay the first time you listen to it. It's amazing the 6th time.
Thug Till It's Over — Cookin' Soul & Freddie Gibbs — Freddie Gibbs over soul-inspired samples is everything you could ask for on a long commute day.
Pass It Pass It — Snoop Dogg — Amazing Pharrell produced song during Snoop's prime.
I Want You — Marvin Gaye — Smooth. Smooth. Smooth.
Be — Common — A rare moment in the SOTD tradition, where I can't choose a single song so I chose an album. Common's 'Be' is an incredible peace of work with meaningful lyrics regarding being present, being human, being flawed, and being curious.

Popular Thug (feat. Nas) — The Neptunes — Incredible drums & keys. Nas and Kelis came through on their respective verses/hooks.
love is embarrassing — Olivia Rodrigo — My favourite Olivia Rodrigo song, amazing drums & vocals.
