New Year, New Day, New Music

And lots of older music too. Though perhaps not that old. Just a great selection of music to get you through the day, or set off your evening. Downtempo, jazz, indie disco, electronic, Latin, French, rock, reggae, lullabies, and even a Xmas selection which isn’t at all schmaltzy. La la la. Beauty and imagination. It’s 2010, where are you going ?

Real Radio #1 AJB

Radio, where for art thou, radio ? Where hast thou gone ? Commercials and bleeps, iced chains and angst, smoothed out instruments and popless pop, talk, talk, talk and schlock. Maybe it’s just me, but I just don’t tune in for very long. Just isn’t much music on you anymore, radio. We’ve heard it all before, most of it.

I was listening to this set by AJB, a frequent DJ collaborator at Mua, and thinking “this is what modern radio could sound like.” Great songs, a mix of indie, downtempo, electronic and hip hop. Catchy, relaxing, upbeat and mixed on point throughout. I’ll get a song list up soon. In the meantime, check the vibes and enjoy some flavor ice.

Real Radio #1 AJB
