Hip Hop Classics: Uncut Rap, No Radio Edits
Uncut golden era rap, no radio edits: that's Hip Hop Classics, a Spotify playlist curated by Lord Reverb. 2Pac, Biggie, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and Eminem, exactly as they were recorded, with no bleeped lines and no trimmed verses. Boom bap drums around 90 BPM, dusty samples and basslines you feel in the door panels. Verse one starts and your mouth already knows the words. Some of you pretend not to know the second verse. We know you do. Windows down. Head nodding. That's the whole review. Built for car rides, the gym and the cypher. The green Open in Spotify button is right under the cover: tap it and follow along, so the old school goes where you go. Same attitude, different tempo: Rap Workout, Trap Music and R&B Hits. If your drums knock and your bars hold up, we want to hear you. Press the orange + Submit Your Track button under Open in Spotify and send the verse that makes somebody rewind. We listen for the pocket, the pen and a mix that still hits in a car. Free to send, a human listens, and nobody can buy a spot.
Motivational Speeches for Workout and Mindset
Powerful voices over driving music. Motivational Speeches is a Spotify playlist put together by Lord Reverb for workouts, early runs and the days you need a push, with every speech paired to a beat that moves. Press play before the set, the interview or the alarm you don't want to answer. Your head catches up with your body. Fair warning: you might catch yourself giving the mirror a pep talk. We won't tell anyone. The voice brings the message. The beat brings the push. Morning runs, heavy sets and tough weeks all sound better with a voice in your corner. Start with Open in Spotify, then follow the playlist, because hard days don't send a calendar invite. More fuel: Motivational Workout Music, Gym Motivation and Workout Music. Make speech-over-beat or spoken word with a message? Press + Submit Your Track, the orange button under the cover. Keep the voice clear and the mix tight, so the words hit first and the beat backs them up. It costs nothing, and nobody buys a spot here. The message has to earn it.
Sumerian Music and Babylonian Music
Lyres, temple hymns and the Epic of Gilgamesh set to music: Sumerian Music and Babylonian Music is a Spotify playlist of sounds inspired by ancient Mesopotamia, curated by Lord Reverb, with about 4,000 years of history behind it. Hand drums, plucked strings and long drones that leave plenty of room to think. Nobody knows what a Babylonian Friday really sounded like. This is our best educated guess, and it sounds great with a cup of tea. It suits studying, writing, history fans and tabletop game night, where it makes any dungeon feel older. Hit Open in Spotify, press play and let the deadline or the dragon wait. Next stops: Classic Movie Soundtracks, Post Rock and Cinematic Instrumentals and Reading Music. Composing ancient, ambient or world music with real history behind it? Find the orange + Submit Your Track button below Open in Spotify and tell us which instruments you used. Drones are welcome. So are odd time signatures. Lyres too. No fees, no pay to play. A person with headphones decides.
Rai Music: Moroccan Raï and Maghreb Hits
Rai Music is a Spotify playlist of Moroccan raï and Maghreb hits, curated by Lord Reverb: Cheb Bilal, Fnaire, Douzi and more, old school and new, for the parties where nobody stays seated. Big vocals, driving darbuka and synth lines that say wedding season all year round. This is the playlist that gets a whole room clapping on the offbeat. Not clapping yet? Give it one chorus. Aunties on the dance floor. Cousins filming. Nobody stays seated. It's made for weddings, road trips, house parties and a bit of Maghreb pride. Tap Open in Spotify and keep the celebration in your library. Keep the energy up with Afrobeats and Amapiano Hits, Latin Heat and Reggae Chill. Send us the song your cousins would dance to at the wedding. The orange + Submit Your Track button sits right under Open in Spotify. Raï singers, producers and songwriters are all welcome. We love a hook that puts a whole family on its feet and a groove that works on a phone speaker at a barbecue. Sending is free and a real person listens.
Best Songs Right Now: Lord Reverb's Picks
Best Songs Right Now is a Spotify playlist of Lord Reverb's own picks: no rules, no genre, just what's on repeat this week. New favourites get added often. One day it's a heavy beat, the next it's a quiet voice and a guitar. The only filter is simple. If a track survives three replays, it stays. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Genre labels stay at the door. No algorithm, no chart rules. Just ears and a lot of replays. Use it for discovering new favourites, the commute and background listening. Open in Spotify, follow it and let the list move when our taste does. Also on repeat around here: Best New Songs This Month, New Music This Week and Unsigned Artists You Need to Hear. Here's how it works: you press the orange + Submit Your Track button under Open in Spotify, any genre, and we listen. We want a hook, a voice and a finished mix. No catch, no fee. If it fits, it goes on. If it doesn't, you'll hear that too.
Friday Night Playlist: Pregame and Party Music
Party music and going-out tracks that turn the week off: Friday Night Playlist is a Spotify playlist for the pregame, the pre-drinks and the walk to the club, curated by Lord Reverb. Track one announces the week is over. By track five the group chat has gone quiet, because everybody is busy getting ready. Mixed for speakers, showers and one questionable hairdryer. Shoes optional until the door. Pre-drinks start at track two. Bring the group chat. Skip the small talk. Tap Open in Spotify at 8pm and follow it, so Friday never starts without a soundtrack. It works for house parties and pre-drinks too. Keep the night rolling with Summer Party Music, Birthday Party Songs and New Years Eve Playlist. Tap + Submit Your Track, the orange button under Open in Spotify, if you make party tracks, dance pop or going-out anthems. Bring a hook that survives a loud room and a drop that makes the group put their phones down. We don't sell placements. The song has to earn the spot.
EDM Workout: High Energy Gym Mix
Three hours of builds and drops that hold their pace from warm-up to your last set: EDM Workout is a Spotify playlist of high energy electronic music for the gym, curated by Lord Reverb. The drop lands right as the weight does. No filler, no ballads, no "what song is this" mid-rep. Roughly 125 to 150 BPM, built to keep your heart rate honest. Lift. Drop. Repeat. Rest between sets, not between tracks. Warm-up, working sets, finisher. One steady tempo for all three. Good for lifting, cardio, treadmill sprints and gym warm-ups.

Synth bass, gated snares and choruses big enough to need shoulder pads. Tempos stay around 115 to 135 BPM, which is exactly where a step class lives. Leg warmers not included. Headband strongly recommended. Neon helps. Cassette optional. Think big hair, bright spandex and a VHS tape that has seen better days. Good for retro gym sessions, treadmill runs and living room workouts. Click Open in Spotify, follow it and let the leg warmers do the rest. Warm-up partners: Workout Music, Synthwave and Summer Party Music. Do you make synthwave, retro pop or 80s-flavoured dance? Under Open in Spotify you'll find the orange + Submit Your Track button. Bring a big chorus, a snare with real room in it and a tempo you could jog to. Nobody pays for a place here. A good song is the only currency.
HIIT Workout Music: Obstacle Race Training
Hard on, hard off: HIIT Workout Music is a Spotify playlist of high intensity electronic for intervals, obstacle races and Spartan-style training, curated by Lord Reverb. Built to keep your heart rate up. Tracks surge and release, so the work feels hard and the breaks feel earned. Mud, walls and burpees all sound better over a pounding 140 BPM kick. Burpees still hurt. Now they have rhythm. Thirty seconds on. Thirty seconds off. No excuses. The gaps between tracks are short on purpose. Rest is for after. Use it for sprint rounds, bootcamps, intervals and race day. One tap on Open in Spotify and the next interval already has a soundtrack. Tracks stay high-intensity from the first interval to the last. Harder still: EDM Workout, Cardio Workout Music and Phonk Gym. Give us drops that restart the energy and a low end that survives cheap gym speakers.

Somebody always brings the speaker. Somebody else always brings the ice. Press Open in Spotify and follow it, so summer stays in your library after the tan fades. Garden parties, pool days, the works. Next round: Friday Night Playlist, Tropical House and Girl Power Playlist. Summer pop, dance and feel-good party tracks fit this one.

After dark, not for workouts: Slow Jam R&B is a Spotify playlist for late nights, curated by Lord Reverb, with smooth, warm R&B from the 90s to today.
