Are you in the need for new music to vibe to? These are my tips to do a Cool Playlist!

Hi there, I am The Beat Reporter. Most people know me as Juanfer, the guy who will play music right before starting the car, the person who loves to dance the night away and the go-to friend that’s in charge of music at parties.

Here’s why:
My passion for music started when I was very little, I would sing every song played on the radio. Much later, in 2019, I started my blog in order to share my knowledge and passions. This means talking about music of all sorts, known artists, new artists, new releases, and classics. Since I began my blog, have been writing articles that communicate novelties on the music industry, but I’ve also created all kinds of playlists.

This blog is my deepest passion, but my day job is at Maaji, where I have worked as the lead designer of the E-commerce Department since 2018. With Maaji, we’ve put together Abun-Dance Playlist. It’s all about celebrating life, feeling happy, listening to positive songs, and set a good mood for you.

Follow these steps to do a cool playlist! It will be a joyful vibe when driving, to block the world when you are studying, to hype up when working out, or just for some chill and relax time.

1. First, define an essence. The feeling you want to transmit when someone listens to your mix, e.g., Celebrating Life, Chill vibe, Dance all night, etc.

2. Define either a gender, type of artist, or significance of the lyrics to maintain a general topic. This is different from defining an essence because in this stage you may find a common denominator to all the songs. For example, I’ve made playlists based on lesser-known artists.

3. Don’t start from scratch. When making a playlist there are always 10 songs that can act as a sort of “base”, the ones that simply must be there. You know you want to make a playlist because of those 10 songs you love to hear on repeat. Grow the selection from there.

4. Start adding up songs. Search what’s is trending, look for new music releases, seek similar artists to the ones you enjoy and are listening to. Check out the Spotify release radar. See the recommended songs that come up on YouTube when listening to one you’ve already chosen.

5. Get out of your comfort zone. Search for cool songs that are not usually recommended. Dare to listen to unknown artists, in that way you will find those special songs that will make the playlist unique.

6. Finally - put it all together and share it with the world!

Relax in comfortable loungewear, unplug and enjoy yourself.
