Back in the Groove Mix
DJ RePete turns the page on 2020 and is back in the groove in The Listening Booth with some catchup music discovery after a few weeks of retrospectives. Tune in for blues from John Calvin Abney, electro with Isla Den, and rock from Stephen Chopek. Plus, hit up info from artists making the most of our strange times: Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys is playing a scaled down festival in Australia, Call Me Spinster seeks out a reboot of vintage MTV for their videos, and Gaspard Eden uses what he has to put together a music video with some spectacular stream of consciousness results. And don’t miss The Mountain Goat’s attempt to bring us some levity during a difficult week in Washington DC.
