Week of 12/16/15
DJRePete energizes your BTR Wednesday start with alt with Oberhofer and Peach Kelli Pop. Hit up blues with Joel Plaskett and Glen Hansard, dancy beats with !!! and Icky Blossoms. Plus, to help you hide from the holiday season madness, enjoy a few escapist tracks including a string folk set headlined by a bloc with The Mae Trio and warm weather thoughts with Beach Slang. And ahead of next week’s annual Best In Mix, DJRePete opens up the 2014 archives for a few choice tracks from last year. Get you midweek music discovery fix with BTR!
