I created my playlist to reflect the music that has influenced my music the most in the past and some tunes I’m currently really into. A lot of it might be obvious and even more not so obvious. Sometimes it’s simply the production style or thematic elements that wind up leeching into my own sound. I’ve been writing a lot during quarantine and these tunes are ones that are lifting me throughout. I’ve dug back into my love for early-mid 2000s French pop hard lately. That’s going to probably be pretty apparent upon my next release I’m already knee deep into. – Dane Forst
