Hi! My name’s Alexander Faisaly, but you can just call me Alex. This playlist I say would describe who I am as a person. Fun, exciting, yet sensitive. While my musical tastes vary widely, I mostly enjoy edm genres such as trance, house, electro, and techno. While these genres would imply that I have a party persona inside me, I do have a side that tends to sit in bed, wander, and ponder about the various aspects of life and happiness.
My playlist: http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Blog+1/90993236
Fire by Ferry Corsten- Ferry Corsten is one of the classic DJs of edm. While his popularity has faded throughout the years, his oldest hits remind me that the newer generation of DJs are not the only artists around. Fire is a song that personally hypes me up as I listen to it.
This Is What It Feels Like by Armin Van Buuren – One of my favorite DJs of ALL TIME. Have yet to see him perform, but would love to one day.
Burn by Ellie Goulding- Ellie Goulding has a voice that just makes me want to melt inside. Burn is one of her newer songs but I fell in love with it from the moment I heard it.
Shine by Spektrum- Whether I’m playing sports or games. This song is my go to song to get myself pumped up and ready. It also serves as a reminder that some of the best music can come from underground artists.
A Light That Never Comes by Linkin Park and Steve Aoki – Combine my favorite band of all time with a great DJ. This is the end product and it is absolutely amazing.
Calling by Sebastian Ingrosso – I personally love this song because Ryan Tedder’s voice sounds heavenly to me
Adagio for Strings by Tiesto – Another classic by one of the most popular DJs out there. I’ve listened to this song since my middle school days and sometimes I still fall asleep listening to this song.
Zero 76 by Tiesto – I have a soft spot for Tiesto and his collaboration with Hardwell on this song really called out to me. Another gem of a song that gets me pumped up for anything.
Explosions by Ellie Goulding – This song hits me at my soft spot. Whenever I feel down and sad I start up my “sadness” playlist on my ipod and I always make sure this is the first song that plays. There have been many times where I’ve broken down in tears while listening to this song and thinking about my troubles.
Tonight by John Legend – Like the song above, this song is in my “sadness” playlist. John Legend’s smooth and powerful voice gives this song a strong presense when I listen to it, while also providing comfort as well.
