YOU’RE WELCOME
One of the most asked questions at RAW LAB is “How can I get your playlist”. Here’s the answer: RIGHT HERE! Everything lives in PUBLIC PLAYLISTS on AMAZON MUSIC because almost all of our guests have Amazon Prime and Amazon Music is free with Prime. Links to all playlists (including the master) are provided below).
Also, this is another qualifier for our guests. If this music isn't appealing to you, you can save a pile of time and money and dine somewhere else.
How did this come about? RAW LAB needed a SOUNDTRACK. This is it. The common denominators / qualifiers for a each track are:
Unfamiliar to most
Instrumental
Cultural & Historic Associations
Lyrics NOT in English
Something Owner / Chef Kevin Joseph loves and has been exploring for years
Sounds GREAT on our sound system
Fucking Weird, Mystical and/or Romantic
Choreography of movements & timing that ADDS to the experience
It just fits, works with a transition or whatever
Why?
TRANSPORT YOU to other times, places and feelings.
CREATE NEW ASSOCIATIONS and memories and only tap OLD associations or memories where it adds something
SUSPEND REALITY & TIME
ELIMINATE OR MINIMIZE the familiar
CREATE DISCOVERY
Not your jam? Cool. Neither is RAW LAB. There is restaurant playing Classic Rock nearby which is a better fit for you.
