I'm not too fond of obvious cover songs, the ones that remain too close to the original. It's like the artist is not even trying, they are just playing somebody else's work! For this month's show, I tried to put together a playlist of covers that are the opposite: a transformation of the original art into something new and exciting. I hope you like them. Playing tracks by Oldham Brothers, M. Ward, Cowboy Junkies, Grant-Le...

Experiment #4 - The NyQuil Diaries

October 3, 2023 • 56 mins

Here's this month's mix, heavily influenced by an accidental overdose of NyQuil and other flu medications. It's really not that bad (the mix): a few recent tracks plus some indie pop classics that I hope you enjoy

Experiment #3 - Cities

August 25, 2023 • 92 mins

Second and final summer mix of the year. The silly theme is songs with city names, and it's a fearless (maybe reckless) playlist with tracks from Scott Walker, The Clash, Thomas Dolby and others. Cheaper than renting an Airbnb!

Experiment #2 - The Summer Tape

July 31, 2023 • 70 mins

It's August 4th and I needed to put together a quick summer mix! Some of these are summer-themed songs, and some other ones just remind me of summer for no specific reason. There's also an interesting 28 minute outro... I hope you like it!

Experiment #1 - Hello World

July 21, 2023 • 58 mins

First real mix with tracks from Destroyer, Ladytron, Caroline Polachek, Avalanches and more. It turned out a little bit more electronic and 90s that I wanted, but I hope you still enjoy it. Also, first mix using my new dj controller and the app Mixxx (still getting familiar with both), so there might be some glitches here and there.
