Happy Friday “Drivers” fam!
Welcome to this week’s offering of tunes and vibes.
Trying to offer a pot pourri of grooves, mostly more recent acquisitions focused on mostly contemporary tunes in the usual Friday Drive vein.
Some left field Jazz, Funk and Soul while tending to steer our journey to some ecclectic tunes with an electronic twist.
Keeping it on a downtempo tip in the “unwind from the week” first hour and as always taking things up in the second hour to wind you up for your weekend by diving a bit deeper into some balearic vibes and working our way into some house with a few left turns into a little Bruk here and there.
Happy listening, thank you all for taking the time and hope you enjoy this week’s offering.
