The Wednesday Show
Your Wednesday mix is delivered today by DJRePete. Tune in for brand new alternative from Sleeping in the Aviary, rock from the Dum Dum Girls, and a beat from Speech Debelle featuring Roots Manuva & Realism. Plus a jazzy set featuring a BTR throwback from the Maido Project out of Paris. And DJRePete weighs in on the end of the REM era with reflections on their breakthru beginnings. All today, on your BTR Wednesday with DJRePete!
