For this one, we prompted each other to build a playlist around a very specific favorite way to discover and enjoy new music. For Kyle, it’s sampling in hip-hop, a Rosetta Stone that endlessly unlocks interesting and obscure musical touchstones. The playlist lays out his journey of discovery through key samples that changed his life, and the episode dives into the mind of the crate digger and the value of that worldview in general.Combine the podcast with the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3wqazjQ0kNV5FphNvKcILz?si=wGjdr5FzSZWGYFPf2NvPjAListen with full songs on the YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCTnCqMM9gSf35ltZDiGS7uOFGlQHx3B8Follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@tunedig) for more info about the songs that didn't make the episode.

The protests and unrest have had us wondering how to make meaning from this wild, inexplicable time in history — so like usual, we turned to songs. Out came two new TuneDig Radio playlists. The world already has plenty of protest playlists, so instead we tried to think more deeply about how best to process and live in the moment.

The marketing metric of the next decade will be trust. There will be no more effective - nor more critical - way of building a brand than building a community who trusts you enough to advocate on your behalf. With trust in brands and advertising at an all-time low, there will never be a better time to build a human-centered marketing strategy. The tactics of this decade - data collection, tracking, endless ads - will not work in the next. Your customers are already telling you how to connect with them in a way that will grow your business.

Being stuck at home without our studio setup got us thinking about the value of staying connected to people you enjoy being around by sharing music you love. With that in mind, we present the first episode of TuneDig Radio — where we dive deep into a specific music-related topic, then curate and share a playlist about it, pirate radio-style. For our first two episodes, we took turns exchanging our favorite instrumentals, discovering some key overlaps and major differences along the way.Combine the podcast with the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/270ljCJHi5AAP6i5Akkb66Listen with full songs on the YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLCTnCqMM9gScFCR2V0mxNWQcjsoBZYc2f&v=aJbcR2kfe7oFollow us on Instagram and Twitter (@tunedig) for more info about the songs that didn't make the episode.

”Dark is the light, and everything is black.” For Black Friday, we thought it fitting to reach for the darkest and most transcendent piece of music we know.

Is it possible to be both overrated and underrated? With "Kid A", Radiohead cemented their mythos simply by artfully engaging a very specific cultural crossroads. We reexamined both the music and the moment, and gained more new perspective than we expected about the meaning of both.Follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@tunedig) for more info about the songs that didn't make the episode.

Most artists would’ve crumbled under the pressure of following up an instant classic like The "Low End Theory", but Tip, Phife, and Shaheed dug even deeper, delivering an even more “precise, bass-heavy, and just right” work in sound and in spirit. Midnight remains a watershed moment for hip-hop, so we must bear witness.Follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@tunedig) for more info about the songs that didn't make the episode.

What happens when, after years grinding underground solo, two hip-hop heavyweights discover they make a perfect team? They strike G-O-L-D, finally stepping into the pop culture spotlight and using it to speak the language of the unheard.

Picasso said that “art is a lie that makes us realize truth.“ Grand artistic statements like "The ArchAndroid" reveal intimate ideas beneath layers of disguise, drawing in the audience to connect to the story’s feelings rather than its facts. This one’s about the fight for freedom and love … and who doesn’t want more of that?

For an artist as creative as Björk, finding the essence of her sound meant pushing farther out than ever before. Ideas, sounds, and approaches that seemed at odds added up to something greater on "Homogenic". The result was vast, nuanced “emotional landscapes” unlike anything we’ve ever experienced … do yourself a favor and walk around them with us. We dare you.

Clapton. Bruce. Baker. This supergroup was a strange brew that was simply too potent for the world (not to mention the band themselves), and we see that on display in "Wheels of Fire". The double album finds the trio at—ahem—a crossroads, the contrast between their inspirations creating tension to mixed—but often magical—effect.

File "You Are There" under evidence for Huxley’s thesis that, “after silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.“ We gave our best effort trying to capture Mono’s magic, who don’t utter a single world but manage to say everything about life, death, and all that’s between.
