Lucky 13: Eva’s Curated Soundtracks for Tobies House

, by Penny, 8 min reading time

 

What’s up, Dino Fam! Mooshies here, and I am beyond stoked to share something that’s been vibrating through the walls of Tobies House for the last few weeks. If you’ve been hanging out in our corner of the internet for a minute, you know we aren’t just about selling cool stuff, we’re about a lifestyle. We’re about that eclectic, "found-object" energy that makes a house feel like a home and a wardrobe feel like an identity.

Well, our resident vibe-master and curator extraordinaire, Eva, has been working overtime in the sound lab. We’ve always said that 13 is the lucky number here at Tobies House. While the rest of the world might be hiding under the covers on Friday the 13th, our dinosaur friends are out here thriving. To celebrate that magic number, Eva has dropped the Lucky 13 Playlist Collection.

The concept is simple but punchy: Five distinct vibes, five curated playlists, and exactly 13 tracks each. No more, no less. Just the perfect amount of sonic goodness to get you through a sourdough bake, a deep-dive vinyl session, or a morning coffee ritual.

Let’s break down these sounds and how they pair with the Tobies House treasures you’ve been leaning into lately.


1. The Eclectic Curators (Indie/Folk)

First up, we have "The Eclectic Curators." This is for the slow mornings. You know the ones: where the sun is hitting your plants just right, and you’re finally tackling that sourdough starter you’ve been naming "Dino-Dough."

This playlist is heavy on the Indie and Folk vibes. We’re talking about acoustic strings that feel like a warm hug and lyrics that make you want to go live in a cabin (but a cabin with really good Wi-Fi). A standout track that Eva hooked us on is "Driftwood" by Hudson Freeman. It’s got this airy, grounded feel that just makes sense when you’re surrounded by your favorite things.

When you’re vibing with this playlist, it’s the perfect time to browse our collection of art books or maybe organize your kitchen essentials. We imagine you carrying your baking supplies or your latest reads in something classic like the Casablanca Factory Entertainment Tin Tote. It’s got that vintage charm that fits the folk aesthetic perfectly. This vibe is all about being present, being cozy, and appreciating the craftsmanship in the small things.


2. Afro-Rhythm House (Afrobeats)

If "The Eclectic Curators" is your slow morning, "Afro-Rhythm House" is your "let’s get this day started" energy. Eva really went deep on this one, pulling in the best Afrobeats to keep your blood pumping.

You can’t talk about this playlist without mentioning "Water" by Tyla. It’s a literal masterpiece that has been on repeat at the Tobies House HQ. This playlist is designed for movement. Whether you’re grinding fresh beans for your morning coffee ritual or getting ready for a night out, these 13 tracks provide the ultimate rhythm.

We pair this high-energy sound with our love for handcrafted jewelry and those little "main character" moments. Imagine getting ready at your vanity, the beat dropping, and you’re tucking away your favorite rings or small keepsakes in our Chrome Plated Fortune Cookie Trinket Box. It’s about those little sparks of joy that make your daily routine feel like a celebration. The Afro-Rhythm House vibe is bright, bold, and unapologetically vibrant: just like the Dino Network likes it.


3. The Bassline Lounge (UKG/DnB)

Now, for my fellow collectors and gear-heads, Eva has delivered "The Bassline Lounge." This is where the UK Garage (UKG) and Drum and Bass (DnB) live. It’s crunchy, it’s atmospheric, and it’s got enough low-end to rattle your shelves (careful with the figurines, y’all!).

This playlist is the ultimate companion for a "vinyl session." You know when you clear the afternoon just to listen to albums back-to-back? That’s the energy here. It’s for the people who appreciate the technical side of music: the production, the layers, the basslines that keep you hooked.

To match that technical appreciation, we love pairing this playlist with our collection of 1:4 scale replica guitars. If you’re a fan of the greats, you might find yourself staring at the Dave Grohl Blue DG335 Replica while a heavy DnB track fills the room. Or maybe the Billy Sheehan "The Wife" Fender Replica is more your speed. There’s something about the precision of these replicas that just syncs up with the complex rhythms of the Bassline Lounge.


4. Global Pulse (Latin/Reggaeton)

At Tobies House, we pride ourselves on our worldwide curation style. We don’t just look in our own backyard; we’re scouring the globe for the coolest, most unique finds for our dinosaur friends. That’s exactly what the "Global Pulse" playlist represents.

Eva curated 13 tracks of pure Latin fire and Reggaeton beats that remind us of the energy of a bustling street market in Mexico City or a late-night club in Medellin. It’s fast, it’s infectious, and it’s a tribute to the global culture that inspires everything we do.

This vibe is all about the hunt: the search for that one item that no one else has. When you’re feeling that global energy, you’re probably looking for something that stands out. Maybe it’s a piece of streetwear that says you’re a citizen of the world, like the Long Beach CA Beanie. It’s simple, it’s classic, and it’s ready for whatever adventure the Global Pulse sends your way. BRB, going to go turn the volume up on this one right now.


5. The Dino Flow (New Wave Hip-Hop)

Finally, we have the heart of the Tobies House attitude: "The Dino Flow." This is New Wave Hip-Hop at its finest. It’s gritty, it’s lyrical, and it’s got that "I know something you don’t know" swagger.

Eva made sure to include Kendrick Lamar’s "Not Like Us," which basically sets the tone for the whole collection. It’s about being authentic, being original, and not following the herd. Our dinosaur friends don’t do "basic," and neither does this playlist.

This is the official soundtrack for our streetwear lovers: specifically the Arnuki brand enthusiasts and the pop culture figurine collectors. When you’re rocking the Fairly Odd Parents Crimson Chin Basketball Jersey, you need a beat that matches that level of "cool." Or maybe you’re layering up for a show in the Motley Crue Vintage Inspired 1983 Tour Tee. The Dino Flow is about making a statement without saying a word.


Why 13?

You might be wondering why we’re so hooked on the number 13. To most, it’s a bad omen. To Tobies House, it’s a badge of honor. It represents the outlier, the one who doesn't fit in, the extra "baker's dozen" item that adds just a little more value than expected.

Eva’s curation for the Lucky 13 playlists was all about finding that balance. Every song has a purpose. Every track is a "must-listen." We didn't want to give you a 50-song playlist where you skip half the tracks. We wanted to give you 13 bangers that you’ll want to play on loop.

Whether you’re cleaning the house, working on your latest art project, or just scrolling through our latest arrivals, we hope these soundtracks make your day a little more eclectic.

The Dino Network is all about connection, and music is the ultimate connector. We’d love to hear which of Eva’s playlists is hitting home for you. Are you leaning into the chill folk vibes, or are you ready to start a mosh pit in your living room with the Bassline Lounge?

Whatever your vibe, remember that Tobies House is here to provide the backdrop (and the gear) for your most authentic self. Search on the site for your next favorite find, and let the music do the rest.

We’re so glad you’re part of the family. Keep being weird, keep being eclectic, and keep listening to the good stuff. Follow along on Youtube!

Love ya to the moon and back, Xo.
