Bouge ton thang avec nous

We agree with Clay and Friends: bouge ton thang with us on Friday afternoon! Image: Bandcamp

After celebrating our beginnings last week, this time we move our focus back to the present, with the latest releases from north of the border. We’ve got a wide-ranging playlist designed to start your weekend right, including some listener requests and nine artists making their debut on the show. Plus, one track that doesn’t really fit in at all… but that’s sure to have you moving your thang.

This week, it’s all about Allison Russell, Amaka Queenette, Clay and Friends, David Vest, Foolproof, Lost Love, Luna Li, Mike Boguski, Nathan Lawr, Nightshifts, Nuela Charles, PARTYPOOPER, Paul Jacobs, Pillea, Whitehorse, and The Zolas!
