# 0 Curated Focus Weekly: Musical cure for the new year funk!
Curated Focus, a new musical experiment to start the year with good ear
Today we are starting together this musical anthropological experiment, and we are happy to have you on board!
We will send you 2-3 playlists each time. Sometimes will be made by us, others found in some kind of melomaniacs/music-lovers site, others shared by you or other subscriber. Each playlist will tell you a story to feed you musical curiosity and pimp up your imagination.
Rules of the game
The only rule, is that should be music we all can hear to work, yoga, clean a hand watch or just think about the meaning of life. Send us your recommendations per email, we love to hear what you like and your new findings!
Important things first
There is still on going the worst environmental catastrophe in the last years. More and 1.2Billion animals have died, more than twice the size of Belgium has burned, millions of people have lost their homes. There are 2 things we can do to help. First is to donate to those in need there, and Second, start making our lives more conscious with the environment.
Musical remedy for the post holiday funk
After the 1-2 weeks break, we get back to work with an odd feeling, we are slow, sad-ish or we just ask ourselves silently "what the hell am I doing here?".
Instead of listening to Radiohead the whole week, creeping yourself and procrastinating, here we have a musical solution: One set, one album and one crazy good podcast.
Set: Ambient & co. by Sanpo Disco & Sui Zhen
Listen on: Soundcloud / Spotify
Sanpo Disco had a monthly 120 minute slot, where he shared mixes All the way from up-beat disco escapism through to J-Pop or rose-tinted balearic smooth rock. He was supposed to stop at the emission 100, but went longer and longer. In June 2019, he shared his last mix. But today we want to share this one where Sui Zhen makes Sanpo Disco a dreamy mix of vocal abstractions, outsider pop, and classic Korean folk.
Sui Zhen is based in Melbourne, she makes experimental pop mixed with electronic sounds, her focus is the intersection between human life and technology. She is a great artists honestly you can experiment her expression of art and human life by listening to her music, and checking this wonderful digital experience (headphones up!)

Bandcamp has a weekly show, they release a playlist with any kind of music. We listened to the one of 8th October 2019, it features Sublime German/Kenyan duo Odd Okoddo and Chicago's Jaimie Branch guest, plus new Arp, Henry Wu, Rhi, and others. It's quite chilly and really makes you feel like being super productive!

That’s it for now. If you like this episode, share it with your friends. If you don’t we’d love to hear your feedback!
