[ Summer2timing ]

Happy Friday "Drivers"! Got a nice pull of music for this week's show with a pot pourri of jazz, funk, reggae, afro, latin, brazilian, boogie & broken vibes to help you unwind your week and wind up your weekend! As usual when putting the show together I never know where I'm going musically until the final tune is dropped and this week came together quite nicely, but I'll let you all be the judge. Still prerecording the show live@T'sCrib for the time being but hope to get back into the studio at some point. Thank you all for your amazing support and comments it truly helps this broadcaster to feel like putting the show together is a worthwhile endeavour!
