Joyride’s Songs 4 Baking Cookies: from Cardi B to Alex Cameron
To celebrate his new single ’Aunty Tracey’s Cookies’ – and the mouthwatering video guest-starringSydney chef Mitch Orr and a vatload of THC-infused treats, as well as a cameo from the track’s producers Hermitude – Sydney’s cheeky, charismatic godbrother of beatsJoyride made TMN a perfectly seasoned playlist of tunes for cooking up a batch of baked goodness. Here’s his guide to the journey.
Worakis –’Toi’
“It’s important to have a song that gets you door to door when driving to the shops, long enough in case there’s bad traffic, but with a long enough outro as insurance in case you get there quickly. Matches the excitement perfectly.”
Jon Hopkins –’Open Eye Signal’
“Ditto for the way home, but this time a little darker. It’s a sinister time when you plan to bake with such weighty ingredients.”
The Blow –’Get Up’
“Prepping the ingredients and heating the oven can be stressful. Checking and rechecking your lists, hoping that you haven’t missed anything. Don’t run from stress; embrace it. Add fuel to it. This song is stressful as fuck.”
Cardi B –’Bodak Yellow’
“Mixing cookie dough needs more muscle than you may think. Put on a song to match the energy required.
(Also imagine if this song is #1 in the US at the same time Trump cracks open the nuclear codes, and try tell me we don’t live in a simulation. [ty Elon Musk.])”
Tora – ’Another Case’
“BALL TIME. Rolling all this gotdam dough into gotdam balls. I find this bit the hardest, so something to help focus is the way to go. This song gets me zoning.”
Alex Cameron –’True Lies’and ’Studmuffin96’
“10 minutes baking time. Perfect to run these two back to back.
I’m heaps into the idea of great back-to-back songs, tracks that live next to each other perfectly on an album. My favourite combo was off Jay Z’sDynasty,with ’Change The Game’ into ’I Just Wanna Love You’ –until Forced Witness came out this year (ty alkcm).”
Simon And Garfunkel –’Late In The Evening (Live)’
“A joyous, triumphant song about having some gotdam fun. What a perfect accompaniment to taking these bad boys out the oven, letting them cool and having a taste (ooh yea).”

Stella Donnelly – ’A Poem’
“Ooh yea, a pretty and simple song executed perfectly. Made for a quiet moment of self reflection and gentle patting of one’s own back.”
PowerThoughts Meditation Club– ’432Hz Miracle Tone With 528Hz Solfeggio Frequency’
“For when you can’t physically pat yourself on the back (or anywhere). You’ve gone too deep. Readjust to the universe, quickly. Don’t green out. It’s all mindpower. Keep it together. Keep it together. Keep it together.”
