Her exquisite and expansive taste stretches to music, too. She is the creator and curator of the venerable long-form music blog, Listen To This, and the host of NTS radio’s Getting Warmer (we listen to her Choral Special every season).

Like the SP-01, our selector series of “tracks for a good hi-fi system” is dedicated to the home listening party. We asked our friend and artist Jessy Lanza to craft the inaugural mix and it’s a stunner. Jessy Lanza has built a singular sound from a blend of influences spanning decades, encompassing synth pop, post-disco R&B, and the crosscurrents of underground dance genres. A singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, producer, and DJ, Jessy is an integral part of the U. K. label, Hyperdub. Begonia leaf by Eric Epstein.
