Music is the answer - An Explanation

Bit excited this week, as lead barista James has been working on new playlists for us, plus I have added my own little bit by sourcing more music that I just need to find the time to create into playlists of my own.

James is quite the perfectionist, and his love and understanding for music is perhaps greater than his love and understanding for coffee. However, these things take time to create, it’s not just a matter of putting a few cd’s together, it’s about helping to create and add to the atmosphere of the overall cafe. It’s something we take very seriously indeed

Below is a list of some of the artists/record labels and series’ we are loving at the moment, plus, at the end, the list that made it onto the Kaffeine greatest hits playlist, the albums that we have listened too constantly over the past three years and in some cases have played so much we cant play them any more, others that bring back memories of staff who used to work here and had a great influence.
