This week we celebrate the power of music collaboration by highlighting bands and duos. These artists aren’t just making music in their bedrooms - they’re part of a team, servicing their talent and extrapolating their individual skills for the greater good of co-creation. That’s another reason why we love music: for its ability to bring people together, not only as fans but also as creators.

Check out the traditional playlist here and go follow our new Instagram account. We’ve got some cool updates scheduled over the next few days so stay tuned!
