Hello First Crush listeners!
The focus of today's show is to celebrate local music with the objective of capturing the rich atmosphere of our city. The mix builds from gleaming electroacoustic compositions to industrial hip-hop made by our neighbours in the 613 music circuit. Admittedly, this was a tough playlist to put together, as it could have easily been 20+ hours long. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the first instalment of 613 Sounds.
As always, I am constantly looking for local music to feature on my show. Got anything that should be on my radar? Send me an email at firstcrushpromotion@gmail.com!
