When we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present. - Alan Watts
It's been a busy week, full of surprises, changed plans, more work, which includes more music. Music is like magic to me, it increases my vibrations, makes me rethink if it's worth stressing out for nothing and calms my mind.
I listen to anything, most important it is that it's not played on the radio, thats why I mostly use sound cloud or youtube. Using magic of many varieties, from classic, rap, r&b, house, disco, funk, you name it. The tittle is only as dramatic as one thinks, but actually came to my mind out of a disco, modern version from "Dimitri From Paris x Fiorious - Music Saved My Life"
As long, it has some positive vibes in it, combining it with strong lyrics to remember, it's always an antidote vs stress, bad day, or when I need some extra boost of motivation.
In highschool, I went all over the place with music, from rock, to heavy metal and even hard style, that later evolved in listening dub step and many more while playing MMO RPG video games that were still Pay2Play back then, like World of War craft.
When I moved to work by the coast and live there I changed to listening a lot of sLOVEnian music, of course mostly rap and hip hop. But have always been up for a House party!
I will start with my favorite radio show :
Last two years I've found my favorite radio station that plays music filled with mixes by separate DJ's, and they even host many events all around the world. One of the biggest ones and closest to me in the middle of Croatia. They are very supportive, full of positive vibes, awesome DJ's playing like Sam Divine - my favorite as well as Monky and many, many more.
Defected records (House)
My favorite producer of their line up is for sure the amazing Sonny Fodera, that has been making music for quote some time, his music makes me move, fill myself with positivity and packs me that much-needed boost in the mornings.

Then there is another part of many different styles, in Defected records family offer and that is their part of special, disco, funk, house that delivers much smoother and different experience, with some old vocals and music I've never heared before and includes a lot of music that was made long before I came to this world. It's called ....
Glitter box (Disco)
It's also a radio show hosted by Melva Baptist, features many vocalists and music producers, lately different as he isn't inviting people to the show, but hosts many things, also that listeners want to showcase and recommend. He also filled everyone up with music and his speeches, filled with positivity in these times that isn't easy for anybody.
Horse Meat Disco & Kathy Sledge - Falling Deep In Love (Dave Lee 12 Disco Blend)
I recommend checking them out, favorite of them being the all amazing Shapeshifters!
Rap
Of course I add some bit of rap in here as well. It follows my journey all the way from middle school, started with pop, later came hip hop that included 50 cent and not long after was presented to Eminem, Dr Dre, Eazy E, Biggie, and of course of all being my favorite 2pac, that we weren't even allowed to listen to out loud in middle school. That was funny and pulled me towards it even more. :)
He has amazing lyrics, real words and message out there to the world. One of a kind and for me he's still a legend that stayed and for ever will at the top as one of best. It got me through the darkest days, the coldest nights and threw some of the best moments. Added with a beautiful remix it will stay deep in my heart.

Music is amazing, it also helps to change our energy, mix vibrations, add some colors to our life and helps us express where words can't explain. In last two years I've changed from dark, kind of like black & white music, to more colorful ones like radio shows up above. They really lift the spirit and in combination with great host with awesome vibes make days even greater.
Added some photos of today where I got a few ideas, great time spent in the nature, awesome exercise, combined with good company = excellent Sunday.

All music rights go to their owners and producers, the world would be boring without the music and hosted radio shows, that help us create a party even in our own apartments.
