Mixtape Monday: Up the tempo

This week's picks include Pendulum, the Dirty Nil, and Devon Gilfillian.

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 were best suited for a pair of headphones; this week’s are best served on a crowded dance floor. (So step aside, Uncle Ray.)

Without further ado:

Pendulum, “Come Alive.” A rather rocking electronic tune with an epic chorus fit for top 40 rotation. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Chris Wildung, QA functional tester, Activision)

Wh0, “I’m Coming.” A surprisingly soulful bop from the mysterious, masked British electronic duo. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Gavin Weeks, QA functional tester, Activision)

The Dirty Nil, “Celebration.” Sludgy, slithery, pinch harmonic-y hard rock with stadium-sized vocals. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Shawn Barnett, senior talent marketing specialist, Blizzard)

Devon Gilfillian, “All I Really Wanna Do.” Did Silk Sonic help you rekindle your vintage R&B love? Here’s the next step. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Andrew Nusca, editor in chief, Activision Blizzard King)

Louis Cole, “Dead Inside Shuffle.” Take mindblowing multi-instrumental talent, put it to a danceable beat, and add just a pinch of weird. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube. (Recommended by Benjamin Williams, lead site reliability engineer, Blizzard)

That’s it for this week!
