Because good music and good vibes are what keep me sane during this time. I’ve put together and mixed my top house favourites from the 2010s. Enjoy.

Heading back to work tomorrow after a great 2 weeks off! What’s your best routine for getting back into the groove and staying productive without feeling overwhelmed?

iOS 26 is cool! But, ugh, my battery’s going down faster than I can say “damn”! Anyone else?

We’ve heard the feedback about Spotify Free… what works, what doesn’t, what it could be. So now we’re giving it a real update for the first time since 2018.

It’s been a while since my last golf game, and guess what? I managed to get two Par holes! This is so motivating! I’ll be playing two more games before I head back home, hoping to get a birdie!

Arabic music is having a moment on Spotify, and we’re so excited to celebrate its incredible rise! 🌍🎶 In our Loud & Clear report for Egypt, we shared the amazing growth of Egyptian music, with 480M first-time listeners in 2024 alone. And guess what? Arabic-language music is also on the rise, becoming one of the fastest-growing on our platform, which is awesome for artists across the MENA region.

In just the past 6 months, 3 super talented artists @TamerAshour , @Dystinct , and this week, the legendary @amrdiab , have made it to our global album debut charts! They’re not just taking over local charts, they’re also making waves on global charts. This is proof that Spotify, through our awesome partnerships, is helping Arabic music shine on the world stage. 😉

Here’s to more milestones, more discoveries, and the vibrant future of Arabic music! 🚀 hashtag#Spotify hashtag#ArabicMusic hashtag#MENA hashtag#MusicForAll
