The inspiration for this month's playlist is “multisensory”: seeing, hearing, tasting, and touching. Within Horvath's photography, you can see the detailed layering with fabric, colours, textures, and light creating mesmerizing scenes. This playlist is an attempt to capture all these exquisite layers. 1We suggest closing your eyes and letting the beat guide you from this point.

RED CURTAINS FROM THE SERIES “THE ERASER” BY KRISS MUNSYA
Featured Artist of the Month Kriss Munsya shared in his interview with SAD's web editor Becca Clarkson that his version of an artist is changing through time. “I would say it would be someone who has something to say or something to show. Someone who's willing to show their weaknesses and has something to tell. I would say that because obviously, you think you would need some technical skills. But at the end, the art is just you sending the message and people receiving that message you know? … You say something and people receive it.“ -Kriss Munsya
Kriss’ photo Red Curtains inspired this month’s playlist filled with Black artists and singer-songwriters. This mix will not solve social injustices, but it shows that music can be a powerful vessel for expression, and change while providing a sense of hope and beauty.

Featured Artist of the Month, Deuphine Apedaile describes in her interview with Becca Clarkson how she, from a very early age, started to explore how the term 'Artist' played into her identity and interest of capturing little parts of her body. Deuphine's photos have become a way for her to connect with other women and create a safe space where they get to be free and reclaim what it means to be powerful, sexy, and soft.
The photo chosen to inspire this month's mix is earth-shaking. The fire – The wind – The water, and the body-ody-ody, bearing witness to the fact that women are some kind of REAL magic. I'm willing to call it the rebirth of witches because the tunes will have all the elements moving with empowering verses. It's time to get undressed, walk barefoot, drink in the moon, and be magick – this is bitchin witchy!
xoxo,
Lisa
