Our theme this month is prep music! We’ve compiled our favorite background music to listen to while preparing or serving food. And it turned out to be a blend of pump-up jams and chill-wave flows for your enjoyment.

The Siket Disc!
Here’s a sample track “What’s the Use?” from the epic instrumental Phish album.
Wikipedia says:
“The Siket Disc emerged from material developed during the Bearsville Studio sessions for Phish’s 1998 album The Story of the Ghost. Not exactly outtakes or unfinished songs, The Siket Disc’s compositions are actually select excerpts from the long-form improvisation of the “Ghost Sessions”. The Phish keyboard player Page McConnell edited and mastered the selections into this compilation, named for engineer John Siket”
Sean:
Fink is pretty good for background music - “Perfect Darkness”, “Yesterday Was Hard On All Of Us”
But I listen to Live Phish Radio a lot too.
Calia:
The XX - “Sunset”
How To Dress Well - “Repeat Pleasure”
Cheyenne:
Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - “Rather Be”
Classixx - “Holding On”
