Based in Rotterdam, she and Kuriosa continue to remind the city what real soul music sounds like during their bi-monthly 'Love Transmission' club nights.

On our way to Australia via Bristol with the next Vitamine FM transmission 📡, we have the pleasure to welcome Tom aka Empty Deejay, one of the brightest Oz diggers 🇦🇺🦘

Tom is the happy owner of the Empty Archive, another YT channel we really like, and we asked him a special set for the occasion. We (Q&L) are both big fans of 90-00’s Australian music, Transformer 2, Pendulum, Bubbleman, Yothu Yindi and ofc Kylie are the first names which are coming in mind, but we trusted Tom to dig a bit deeper to provide us a 100% Aussie Mix, ofc with blinds who will pop up on his channel very soon ! We invite you already to discover his world, and on Friday night (Sat morning in Australia), his mix for the V-FM series ☀️🤍

Enjoy 🌴
