This week’s Spotify-powered SolidSmack Radio Playlist brings an entirely new face-smack of great music to help propel you through those laborious, tedious design tasks for the next few days. This week we’ll be pulling out some of the best trip hop this side of 1996. We’ll start with a classic from Xela and work our way through some RJD2, Grimes, and revisit some classics from Pretty Lights and Portishead. Ease your neck skin a bit with some downtempo vibes this week.
