The Wednesday Show
Hump day on BTR kicks off with DJRePete spinning a great mix of alt with The Aquadolls, electronica with Lena Fayre, and throwback beats with The High Decibels. Don’t miss out on some dreamy folk and beats with Jessica Pratt and Intended Immigration, and hit up an early preview of the new Toro Y Moi album with the new single Empty Nesters. Plus, in homage to Valentine’s Day this weekend, a Denison Witmer ballad will channel your inner romantic. Wednesday, hit up DJRePete on BTR!
