Happy first day of fall! I thought I'd create a playlist that, rather than representing one genre, captures fall's luxuriance and inviting moodiness that you can't really experience in the other seasons. Whether you're into R&B and soul, future bass, or experimental electronica, I think you'll find that the intersections between each of these genres is fresh and intriguing.

This playlist features 11 songs that I've been loving lately — both older (like Frank Ocean's soul-filling "Lost") and newer (like Louis Futon's glimmering remix of Gallant's "Weight In Gold"). Ark Patrol, who has been labeling his music "soultronica" on SoundCloud, has got to be one of my favorite newer producers for his ability to do just that: add electronic components that highlight the darker soulfulness of a song's vocals, like he does with Galimatias' and Alina Baraz's untouchable "Make You Feel."

I've also chosen three songs that showcase the seductive, irresistible vocals of Chet Faker, similar to that in Milky Chance's classic "Stolen Dance" and the Manila Killa's playful remix of Dawn Golden's "All I Want." But in my opinion, the darker textures and electronic elements of each of these songs, intertwined by the powerful bass from ODESZA's "Bloom" and the innovative sounds of Bonobo's "Antenna," are really what weave this playlist together.

Future trap is the new wave of trap music that has been making waves in the electronic scene, with artists like Flume and Hermitude completely changing the game, drawing from influences from hip-hop, house, and garage to seriously push that boundaries of what electronic music can bring to the dance floor.

I love this genre because of it's one I've always found myself in the mood for, whether I'm in need of a morning pick-me-up, having a bad day, or just in need of motivation to get work done. It's emotional and vulnerable, but at the same time, stirring, passionate and even uplifting. If you're finding a genre that commands a presence, you've come to the right place.

The drops in the 26 songs in this playlist "f i r e" transform these emotive songs that feature smooth, deep vocals into incredibly badass, strong synth tracks. I've started with a stunning new release from What So Not (which consists of Emoh Instead, and formerly Flume): "Gemini," with George Maple's airy vocals that bring a gorgeous depth to the song. I first heard Maple's music when she collaborated with Flume in the song "Bring You Down" in 2012.

Another new release in this playlist is Flume's remix of "Lay Me Down" by current pop and soul king Sam Smith. While the anticipation really builds in the beginning, I do feel that it drags out a bit throughout the entire track, while not providing as big of a satisfying drop as his remix of "Tennis Court" by Lorde (also included in this playlist).

My "f i r e" playlist is getting me pumped for the What So Not and Flume concerts coming up. If you like what you hear, snag their tickets here and here.
