This month our guest mix features Hala. She talks journaling as a practice and coffee as ritual. 1. Have you taken on any new rituals lately? Journaling, although I've been slacking lately I've noticed the positive impact it has on my mental space. 2. What song in your mix gets you the most elevated? What song is the most chill? That's a tough one. Antidote makes me wanna get up and dance while Let's Talk It Out by Matt Corby and Tash Sultana never fails to put me in good spirit. I always picture myself sitting on the passenger seat of convertible car driving somewhere by the beach or the countryside, windows rolled down, wind blowing in my hair whenever I...
This month our guest mix features Toronto's very own Chris Wilson. 1. What are your fondest memories around coffee with friends or family? A lot of my fondest memories around coffee are from my time in London, England. It’s where I really started to appreciate the art of making a good espresso, the taste and the smell. Working at the Ace Hotel, I spent all my time in our coffee shop. I would have so many conversations with the baristas, hotel guests and people that lived in the neighbourhood about anything and everything.

Our guest for this month is Shav Hasfal-Mcintosh 1. When you make coffee for yourself, what’s your quirky ritual? (Let it cool for for 2mins, add an ice cube, drink it extra scalding, pray over the milk?) I’m new to this whole world of coffee. Something about being home 24/7, the boundaries between work and home being skewed, and being on Zoom calls all day had me tired as hell and had me looking for new ways to break up the day. Cue experimenting with coffee. I mean my quirks generally as a human are bountiful so with my coffee ritual I’ve developed a couple of them. I essentially give myself a face steam with my cuppa. I bring...
Our guest for this month is Ore Sami from Sample Chief. 1. When you make coffee for yourself, what’s your quirky ritual? (Let it cool for for 2mins, add an ice cube, drink it extra scalding, pray over the milk?) I add a heaped teaspoon of Milo, it's a chocolate powder that adds sweetness to it. 2. What song in your mix gets you the most elevated? What song is the most chill? Definitely the second song, Village Boogie by Steve Black. It's one of the grooviest songs I've ever heard. There's no wrong time to play it. The most chill is Enjoy it by Om Alec Khaloi. It's so perfect for a night time drive. 3. If you could...
