Spotify playlist coming.
The individual cards open track-level Spotify searches for now. Once the public Woody Wu playlist is created, this page will point to that canonical playlist and keep the track cards as liner notes.
The Cellar Tapes
Music, decanted.
Monthly mixtapes, two sides, forty-four minutes, with liner notes written the only way I know how: like tasting notes.
Vol. I / MMXXVI
The deep cut is the Grand Cru.
The first tape is a crate-digger's wine list: famous names deliberately off the famous shelf, forgotten corners, long finishes, and one Thai love song that behaves like an old bottle from a place you have never visited.

Music with a palateVolume 01 / Tracklist
01 / BelgiumOfficial playlist
The Balek Band — Tometsi
A forgotten appellation refound. Savory, mineral, criminally underpriced for decades.
02 / United KingdomEurythmics — This City Never Sleeps
The famous producer's unfamous cut. The entry-level bottling that proves the estate.
03 / ViennaTosca — Suzuki
Downtempo with cigarette smoke in the weave. Long finish. Very long.
04 / BelgiumMarc Moulin — Le Saule
Back to the source: the old-vine cuvee from the person who planted the vineyard.
05 / Private pressPaul Hunter — Paul's Pal
The bottle the winemaker keeps under the table and pours only when the conversation earns it.
06 / Buenos AiresSidirum — Donde
Young producers in old places making something the appellation rules never imagined.
07 / CanadaWorkdub — Caravan
Cool-climate Syrah. It should not work on paper. It works completely in the glass.
08 / JamaicaBob Marley — Rebel Music
The Grand Cru name, deliberately not the hit. A list with no classics is not confident, it is insecure.
09 / No back labelY Bulbul — The Health
A blend with nothing to hold onto except that it is delicious. Drink, do not analyze.
10 / ThailandOnuma Singsiri — Sanya Rak Thi Sala Loi
Homesickness for a home that was never yours. The track the whole essay turns around.
11 / MaliLes Ambassadeurs Internationaux — Djougouya
The last bottle of the night, the one nobody remembers ordering and nobody will forget.

Service
The high-energy floor mix. What a dining room should sound like at 7:45pm on a Saturday.
The Terminal
Late-night building music: ambient, instrumental, the coding-after-close mix.
Hong Kong, Between Auctions
Canto-pop, city nostalgia, auction rooms, rain on glass, and memory with neon on it.
