You know the feeling of being in the zone? That amazing phenomenon when you’re engrossed in something completely, when you’re knocking out tasks with lightning precision? The hours go by in what feels like minutes. You are on fire and you cannot be stopped.

Myra is all about that feeling. When it’s time for us to find our own state of flow, as it’s also known, she can sometimes even help us get there. And it doesn’t hurt to have a good soundtrack. Because when you’re getting ready to tackle your next challenge, why not have some fun with it?

Myra sent us a compilation she says is one of her go-tos for when it’s time to buckle down—though you might also find yourself dancing in the process. Released by the London-based Soul Jazz Records, Voguing—Voguing and the House Ballroom Scene of New York 1976 - 1996 has track after track of voguing stand-bys like Cheryl Lynn’s “Got to Be Real,” and Loose Joints’ “Is It All Over My Face.” Whether you’re bogged down in a spreadsheet or inking your latest illustration, it’s an album you can keep in the background when it’s time to focus, or turn up to 11 when it’s time for a party break.

So channel your inner Kevin Aviance, and step into the flow.
