TurkeyWKND [SPHERE-NACReceptionThuSatXcerpts]

Happy Friday Drivers! A couple of weeks ago I was invited to drop the soundtrack for the reception after the SPHERE Festival at the NAC during the Thursday and Saturday closing concerts. Due to time constraints I've decided to share the soundtrack on today’s episode. Expect a loungy groovy downtempo multi genre journey with a few familiar favourites of mine that may have popped up in past episodes. Thank you for being here and hope you enjoy the ride!
