The fourth edition of “In the Crate,” a monthly playlist featuring our favorite local music.

What's with the crate anyway?

We named this project White Crate because we each keep a crate next to the turntable filled with our recently played favorite records. The crates, of course, just so happen to be white. For years, we’d lug our white crates to neighborhood bars, clubs, and parties to play our favorite tracks across musical styles and eras for unsuspecting listeners.

Now we’re bringing back that vibe with this playlist series. Each month we’ll share a new playlist of songs culled from our recent reviews, exciting single releases, and our own musical discovery from past to present. “In the Crate”—your soundtrack to the Bay.
