Glastonbury 2019 Mix!
Summer! The first episode of the summer on the Listening Booth is both busy and chill with a preview mix of next week’s Glastonbury festival in the UK featuring the likes of Hot Chip, Sharon Van Etten, and Mavis Staples. Plus, DJRePete dusts off some surfer beach rock with brand new punk tracks from the Fruit Tones. And to cap it off, summer escapist electro from Said The Whale and seasonally appropriate lyrics via Dan Mangan throwbacks.
