Happy Friday Drivers!
Another nice mixed bag of goodies in store for this week ride!
A few samplings of different cuts from some of last week’s picks and a dive into some Highlife, Brasilian grooves, Jazz Funk and Soul, a little Reggae & some 80’s Boogie if the crates dictate properly.
Hope you can stick around for the whole journey and as always
thank you for taking the time to be here, happy listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2023 AT 8 PM Holobody and Orchidae at LIVE! On Elgin LIVE on Elgin 220 Elgin Street Event: https://fb.me/e/1cXxA21rK Tickets: Ticketswww.liveonelgin.com/collections/all/products/holobody-orchidae First Crush presents... Holobody (Montreal, QC) https://goodsine.online/holobody/ Drawing equally from pop, electronic, and folk traditions, producer & songwriter Luke Loseth pilots this iridescent juggernaut through sprawling midtempo grooves, less songs and more living, breathing ecosystems. While the sonic palette and structure cast out often into the experimental, the firmly grounded melodies keep the ride centered and smooth, spinning a yarn at once mythic and deeply personal. For fans of Panda Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Atlas Sound, MBV, Talking Heads. Orchidae (Gatineau, QC) https://www.orchidae.ca/ Orchidae is the experimental-pop project of Yolande Laroche, a Franco-Taiwanese Canadian artist based in Gatineau, Quebec. Soft, hypnotic melodies intertwine with minimal yet meaningful arrangements and at-times psychedelic orchestration. The music reflects her hyphenated identity and themes of alienation. Yolande is also a core member of art-rock band Pony Girl and sound art duo KAY-fayb. Wednesday, August 9th, 2023 LIVE!
