Episode 168: 1nce Again

This episode, dating back to those innocent, halcyon days of early March, starts with some dreampop, before pivoting to dance pop for a bit, before pivoting again to hip hop. The middle third takes various detours through club, techno, and downtempo, before returning to hip hop for a bit, then concluding with a profane club banger and a mellow bit of electronica.

The hip hop, as most of the hip hop I play and listen to tends to, balances classic 90’s native tongues and 80’s golden age with backpacker underground from the turn of the millennium. Some day I’ll get into some more recent stuff. Maybe. Probably not. I’m old.
