Today on the program, we’ve got a bit of a special treat. We’re presenting the complete audio from our Best Bars roundtable, which I hosted last month. For the roundtable we invited the personalities behind three of the venues that made our Best Bars in America list, which we showcased in the May/June issue of CRAFT SPIRITS magazine. Our distinguished panel included Natasha Bahrami of the Gin Room in St. Louis—whom you briefly heard at the top of this program—Marc Figueiras of Dullboy and other bars in Jersey City, New Jersey; and Aaron Post of Valkyrie in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our guests gave us actionable insight on the key elements they look for when they’re adding craft spirits to their product rosters.

If you’re curious about the real craft behind mezcal, visiting a mezcal distillery Oaxaca-style is completely different from the commercial tours most travellers see. With Las Bugambilias Tours, you’re taken straight to family-owned palenques in Santiago Matatlán, where the entire process is still done by hand. You’ll walk through agave fields, meet small producers, taste premium mezcal right at the source, and learn why every mezcal distillery Oaxaca families run carries its history. The tour also includes a stop to try fresh pulque and a home-style lunch in town. For anyone who wants a genuine look at a mezcal distillery Oaxaca travellers rarely access, this experience delivers the real thing

A Local Guide to the Most Authentic Mezcal Distillery Oaxaca Has to Offer

Our show is exactly what the title implies--it's a show about "The Good Life." Every week on Smokin' & Toastin', Ian Barry and Cruze taste and talk about craft beers, distinctive distilled spirits and fine cigars. Ian and Cruze approach these classic diversions with the passion and curiosity of two semi-normal guys on an adventurous path of discovery and knowledge. And if that quest mandates that they must drink, eat, smoke and socialize, then so be it.

Sonic Voyager

During his time as a DJ and producer, JANEIN's musical career has been akin to the flight of a spaceship since he started the independent vinyl-only label SEELEN.. While not without its obstacles, the young German artist has been running on full gear, unintimidated, and has henceforth left big marks on the techno scene, playing at BASSIANI, TRESOR, SÄULE at Berghain, and Faust Club in South Korea, to name a few.
With releases on SEELEN., Fiedel’s labels Fiedeltwo & SuperSoundTool, Slam’s Soma Records, and Marcel Fenglers - IMF, he has crafted a unique sonic identity—raw, atmospheric, and uncompromising. Constantly pushing himself forward, JANEIN continues to shape the techno landscape with his deep textures and driving rhythms, built for those who seek intensity and immersion on the dancefloor.
Wherever his journey takes him next, one thing is certain: JANEIN is not just following the pulse of techno, he’s defining it.

Leipzig-based techno producer. 
Music to let your soul run wild to the mystical and dark rave hours of the Leipzig techno scene.

Amidst the interplay of darkness and light, he stands as the shadows cast their influence upon him. Pressure, melancholy, and rapture intertwine, fueling an ever-evolving stream of transformation. These elements manifest as sudden bursts of illumination, just like lightning, reflecting a reality born of a shared instant in time. The resulting flashes he creates, are fed by the profound connection between Techno, industrial destruction, groove, and broken structures.
