Originally Aired 22/06/2023 - Part 3 Of A 3 Part Series.

This week we continue our second series of immersive, atmospheric and contemplative musical journeys. You can listen back to the first & second parts of this series on my soundcload page. Look for show 159 on 8 June & show 160 on 15 June. 

For the final part of this three-part series we further explore the west coast of the good old USA, more stops in the British Isles, another hop across the ditch to say hi to our Kiwi buddies and popping into see various musical friends up and down the east coast of Aus. All the while enjoying a world of dreamy, jazzy and lo-fi indie pop & rock selections, ethereal and ambient soundscapes and psychy and folky flavourings. Should be a nice way to complete our musical journey over the last three weeks. It’s been great to have you along and look forward to hanging out over the next hour on the airwaves.

Opening with an original, this mix drifts through shimmering synths, hazy house, and jazz tinted electronica. A soundtrack that includes lounge daydream and cosmic road trip. From Com Truise’s neon nostalgia to Todd Terje’s cocktail funk, with Psychemagik and Nicolas Jaar pushing further into deep space territory. It’s a  playful and hypnotic journey that covers downtempo, electronic, soul, jazz, and house gradually building from mellow, spacey rhythms into more energetic grooves.
