‘STEADY ACTION’A playlist for Colbo by Alex Delany |
Alex Delany is a writer, editor, cook, wine drinker, DJ, music consultant, book salesman … and the kind of person who makes juggling all of it look easy. He lives in Manhattan, hails from Philly, and can often be found playing records at 51 Orchard St during (or after) store hours.
Alex told us that this first playlist Colbo is built for his favorite summer afternoons: cooking, mixing drinks or opening wine, letting the light in. “Hot but not hot enough to make you sweat too much. Songs with a groove that will cool you down or get you going, depending on where your afternoon or evening is headed.”

In our conversation about the playlist, Alex talked a lot about resets — of the sonic kind, in this case. We could all use a reset now and then, and this collection of songs is exactly that.
