At this point in 2026, I’m purely making playlists for my wife to listen to on her bike rides to work. Like the last playlist I made, Feeling Caught on a Breeze, this was inspired by her listening habits from the time I made the playlist.

At this time, she was listening to Gelli Haha, Sylvan Esso and Chairlift, so I built around those to make a really fun, bouncy and BANGERS-ONLY mix of modern/late ’10s early ’20s synth pop tunes. A nice summer balm. I’ve been really enjoying listening to it on my own (a good sign) so dig in below.
