The world’s most ethical DJ aka DJ Sweatpants aka Erik Carter cannonballs into the series hand-in-hand with bumpers maestro Mike Devine. It’s a supremely colorful and occasionally off-color deep dive into a whirlpool of music and pop culture with our incorrigible, inimitable guides. Cue the waterworks. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll need to take a hot shower after this one.

“IT’S PISCES SEASON BABY :-) Time to get in the water and pay your respects to Lord Neptune. What better way to honor His H20liness than with an hour of underwater, AI-infused weirdness? ♓ Enjoy!” – DJ Sweatpants

"All of the bumpers and shout-outs were generated using AI voices. But that doesn’t make the meaning behind their words any less real :-)" - Mike Devine

Tune into Ghost Notes Worldwide for that post-twilight sound. Night time music of all strains, with blunted R&B and hip hop instrumentals, neo-downtempo productions, slow jams, and hazy dancefloor sounds.

Ghost Notes Worldwide w/ Salami Rose Joe Louis 040523

This is an ensemble of downtempo tracks spanning a pretty wide range from danceable bops to ambient stuff with field recordings. I love driving slow around my neighbourhood listening to slow music while the temperature cools at night.
