Mixtape Monday: Slow burn
This week's staff picks include Corook, Cherry Glazerr, and Keshi.
It’s time for yet another edition of Mixtape Monday, where Activision Blizzard King employees share what they’re listening to while they’re creating the games you know and love.
Last week’s picks felt the immediacy of a live audience; this week, we’re all about that slow burn—the kind that sounds best in a pair of plush headphones.
Without further ado:
Corook, “Hell Yeah.” Laid-back summertime swagger, just in time for spring. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Aninditya Kusumah, marketing coordinator, Activision)
Cherry Glazerr, “Daddi.” It’s as if Taylor Swift discovered a fuzz pedal. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Chris Anderson, audiovisual engineer, Blizzard)
Son of Bazerk, “Change the Style.” Early ‘90s hip hop flow with extremely modern twists. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Gilbert Martinez, art director of development, Treyarch)
Keshi, “Angostura.” Sweet nothings crooned over trap-influenced beats. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Chewy Lazaro, senior support tech, Activision Blizzard King)
Tate McRae, “Slower.” Downtempo pop that simmers instead of sizzles. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Hailey Tindell, QA functional tester, Activision)
That’s it for this week!
