There’s nothing quite as sublime as combining the right soundtrack with an elevated state of mind. Here are our hand-picked favourites from our 2020 guest-curated playlists featured on our Spotify channel, compiled into the Heads Lifestyle’s 2020 Mixtape. Get blazed & enjoy!

Writer, arranger and producer Dan Horne is one of the most prolific musicians on today’s hazy, cosmic, indie rock scene. A member of Grateful Dead/Chris Robinson Brotherhood-affiliated Circles Around the Sun, Horne recently released his long-anticipated solo debut—the country-fried, krautrock-inspired The Motorcycle Song EP. Heads Lifestyle’s roving reporter, Nick Mitchell Maiato caught up with him to explore his breakneck work ethic and amateur cannabis cultivation hobby.

A good cannabis buzz and the right jams can elevate how we experience music to the sublime. Ethan Miller of Oakland-based psych-rock outfit Howlin’ Rain has curated a deeply personal and exclusive playlist for Heads Lifestyle that runs the gamut of emotions, from despair to hope to love to escape with a few strong cocktails and side alleys of his own stoner nostalgia in there. Relax for an hour or two. Immerse yourself. Let the sonic journey lift your spirits.
