Summer is always a great season for music, you know the “groove that soothes, that moves romance!” In this show, I sprinkled some down to earth feel good numbers that will hopefully bring some smiles by the pool! LA’s Estranjeros’ interpretation of “Nothing” by Janet has become an instant floorfiller along with other cuts from Dennis Ferrer (wow), Quentin Harris, Atjazz, and more! My man Stephen Rigmaiden’s dub of “Everything in its Right Place” (Radiohead) is another heater and Lisa Shaw closes out the show with a lovely midtempo track off of Julius Papp’s forthcoming album on NeoDisco. Enjoy the heat in more ways than one!
