Various Artists – Reach

A perfectly sequenced “post-modern mixtape of 12 micro-genres” created by The Numero Group’s Ken Shipley, Reach takes listeners through morning bird songs, afternoon new age, evening soul jazz, and all sorts of spaces in between. Shipley compiled this mixtape using tracks that provided some sense of calm during the pandemic and set the tone for work-from-home zones while communicating with his team in Chicago from Los Angeles. “Bending the rules of the compilation with a selection of songs bound by their soaring spirit and adventurous approach, REACH is inspirational living for algorithmic times.”
