It's all about the music....

I love sexy, dark music. Within the last year, I have fallen madly in love with electronic music; especially the kind of hard, "dirty", make you wanna move, tribally, techy, house music that can be found in Toronto's underground club scene. My musical tastes, however, cover a broad range of genres and artists.

While I'm "working", I find the music playing in the background to be of huge importance. Music sets the pace. The right music can affect the way I move, the way I touch... In my opinion, sensuality and massage; especially the type of massage I provide, (ie. "bodyslide") go hand-in-hand. Being sensual means being aware,absorbing, being in-tune, using the senses to full-potential and just flowing.

I think of a body-slide as if it were a sensual dance, the music dictates the metaphorical, (or sometimes literal lol) steps. How can we flow if the music sucks? :p

In some of the spas I worked at in the past, I made little mixes of tunes for us to play; I tried so hard to keep everyone happy with my track selections so they would keep letting me pick what we played in the rooms out of fear, (seriously... I know maybe I'm being dramatic hehe...) of them playing something that I couldn't get into my "groove" to. Ya.. I probably annoyed my employers by constantly feeding them new cds.. but Gawd - when I didn't dig the music that was playing, I felt like the quality of the sessions I was providing went down.

Now that I work on my own, of course I get to call the shots on what I play. What you might hear will range, depending on my mood... regardless, it will be something that makes me feel sexy.

Depeche Mode is right up there in the hierarchy of go-to artists for yummy, sexy tunes:





like helloooooo? yum! ;)

Amy Winehouse.... ya she's not the most put-together of girls... but her music ooozes sexy:


"Music to make love to your old Lady to" is an album that was put out by a collaboration of artists called "Lovage". The title of the album says it all...


... and I looooove Portishead; probably my favourite band. Pretty-much every track they have ever released is amazing:



I have soooooo many more faves... if I don't control myself, this blog could end up being more of a memoir about music lol.... Just a few tunes to share :)

By the way - I looooove finding new music and am always open to suggestions ;)

  2. Amy Winehouse ... you can't get more bluesy than her among the new artists. Good choice.

    If you want to set a mood for a happy breezy vacation, go with Bebel Gilberto.
