To the Listener,

You fall in love with music by listening. Truly listening. Not by passively consuming whatever the algorithm decides for you. This is the philosophy behind Taste. It’s a community built on the basis of intentionality. In an age where technology makes everything instantly disposable, Taste exists to slow art down.

Instead of surrendering to the shuffle, you press play with a purpose.
You listen all the way through. You sit with a record. Spend time with it. Build a relationship with it. Taste asks for something more than your attention. Your presence. In return, it allows for curation and connection.

We believe discovery should feel human again. No data. No algos. No assumptions. Whether you’re new to intentional listening or desire to go deeper in your music appreciation, this is your reset.
Just music, thoughtfully chosen, thoughtfully enjoyed. Curation you can trust

Some places we've worked with

Records Worth Spinning

Records Worth Spinning

1-4

2001

French-Touch

Discovery

Daft Punk

A rabiit hole of an album, and a launch pad for Taste. Discovery makes the familiar feel completely new, blending disco, funk, soul, and house into something timeless. If you've never listened, just watch the movie (Interstella 5555)

1973

Cool-Jazz

Blossom Dearie Sings, Volume I

Blossom Dearie

Our Sunday morning album. The beautiful bell-like electric piano, the forward-thinking, sample-ready jazz funk beats, the innocent, almost child-like lyrics, and of course Blossom's angelic vocals set deep into the mix. There’s something for everyone on this one.

1975

Jazz-Funk

Fancy Dancer

Bobbi Humphrey

If only we could live in this album. Light yet substantial. Incredibly warm jazz, that surprises you moving funk. We strive to curate spaces that feel the way this album does. Thank you Bobbi Humphrey.

1992

Jazz-Rap

Bizarre Ride II

The Pharcyde

If you cant have fun with this album you’re either dead or deaf. Every song sounds like they were made for 90s cartoon show lost in time. All the members of Pharcyde bring something refreshing to to the table. Essential listening if you like to enjoy life.

5-8

1984

Synth-Funk

Time to Move

Carmen

A 7-inch built for movement. Carmen was able to bottle the infectious groove that makes it hard to stay still. The kind of record that belongs on a crowded dance floor with a stack of 45s spinning all night.

1997

Dub

Rebel Dub

Primal Scream ft. Augustus Pablo

A friend of ours shared this masterpiece with us, and now we share it with you. The deep hypnotic groove alongside the dub influence creates a hazy spacious feel you could live in for hours. This song practically pulls your windows down for you.

1973

Soul-Pop

So Good to You

Lynsey De Paul

De Paul had a knack for writing melodies that feel effortless while her arrangements have these unexpected little details that reward repeated listens. ‘So Good to You’ is a beautifully understated piece of ’70s pop that welcomes you intimately.

1972

Krautrock

One More Night

Can

An accessible entry into Can’s band jammy workout improvisations. This song allows their ‘pop’ side, slow creepy side, and oddball side all find a place. If you’re curious about the band, start here.
