Dusk & Dawn

After a brief hiatus, we’ve returned with two brand new playlists that we feel perfectly represent what I Hate Mondays is all about, we give you ‘Dusk’ and ‘Dawn’.  

A new beginning brings a new format. These two playlists will remain the only ‘new playlists’ for the foreseeable future. Instead of releasing new episodes every fortnight, we plan to build and add to these on a regular basis, to develop and expand on the mood we have meticulously curated over the past few months.

Dawn - A playlist to wake up to. The more mellow, easy-listening counterpart. Something to throw on in the background whilst working from home.
We made this playlist with road trips in mind and feel it’ll be the perfect companion for those summer adventures away, wandering from town to town (once those days eventually do return…). There’s a little something for everyone in this one.

Dusk - Something for a little later on… A little more up-tempo, whilst still keeping within the realms of what I Hate Mondays is all about. This one’s itching to be played loud.

That being said, I Hate Mondays has always had the goal of portraying a certain vibe as opposed to any fixed genre or type of music.

You will notice that some songs feature on both Dawn and Dusk - some tracks just seem to fit any vibe or situation.

A note from Oli:
I think I lost my way a little bit towards the end of our regular 'Episodes', I got so distracted by the need to keep them up to date and packed full of new releases, that I lost sight of why I started making playlists in the first place. It started feeling more like a chore, and lost sight of what I wanted them to represent as a result. As cringe as it sounds, I rediscovered that original joy and excitement from curating playlists whilst making these.

We hope you enjoy. Stay safe out there.
