“I want to do every genre in the book,” Sycco—Sasha McLeod—tells Apple Music. “Combine every genre.” The Brisbane artist of Torres Strait Islander descent found her appetite for sonic layering in high school, prompting her to invest in a Mac and the recording software Logic. Having learned guitar from an early age, she started tinkering with drums and bass, inspired by artists who wrote, performed and produced all their own music. Her influences are as broad as you’d expect from someone who wants to conquer every corner of music—explore her handpicked playlist here, and read on for insight into her favourite tracks. Remi Wolf, “Woo! (Porches Remix)” “I had to put Remi in this list somewhere, and seeing as she just released this remix package recently, I had to do this one! Remi Wolf was my favourite artist in lockdown and still is. I absolutely adore her and everything she puts out, and this remix makes me want to cry in the club.” Abby Bella May, “Alien” “I heard this live when Abby supported me in Sydney and I got obsessed. Every time I jump in the car, I need this song on.” Charli XCX, “anthems” “Charli XCX is one of my biggest inspirations, and this song goes off. I'm razzed up every time I listen.” Dan D’Lion, “Peachy (Oscar Scheller's Back to '95 Remix)” “I’ve recently aspired to make a banging breakbeat song but have failed every time. This one fulfils me though.” Deaton Chris Anthony, “RACECAR” (feat. Clairo, Coco & Clair Clair) “It’s the best song floating in the universe.” Black Eyed Peas, “Imma Be” “Actually, this is tied as the best song floating in the universe. This song played after every set on my tour.” Dominic Fike, “The Kiss of Venus” (Paul McCartney cover) “This song is genius. I was speechless when I heard it. It’s literally what The Beatles would sound like in 2021.”
