Episode 181: Strange Conversations

~100 BPM episodes are often a challenge. While some BPMs mark out definitive genre zones, 100 encompasses an overlap of several disparate sounds. So the ~100 episodes are often extra eclectic and divergent and eccentric and hence difficult to assemble. Describing this episode, therefore, is a challenge right now. There’s no through-line, no apparent theme. There’s quite a bit of hip hop, especially towards the end, there’s club, there’s house, there’s chill, there’s even some dancehall mixed in. What else can I say? Offensively eclectic was the mandate when I started this show, so here it is:
