The Wednesday Show
BTR inches you closer to your holiday weekend with DJRePete who’s got a fresh dose of music to breakthru including electronica crossover from the Mood Rings, folk with Cheyenne Mize, and a set with a beat from the likes of Austra. Also, Mavis Staples chimes in with a blues touch, an exclusive track from Serious Business on BTR, and several summer festivals to highlight on both sides of “the pond.” Plus, in continuing the 8 year celebration of BreakThru Radio, tune in for a throwback set spotlighting yester-year on BTR. That about sums up your Wednesday with DJRePete and BTR!
