Electronic music owes so much to Kraftwerk, and earlier this week their co-founder Florian Schneider passed away at the age of 73.

Once again, a show prompted by a memorial. This session of Bridging the Gap is going to be an upbeat collection of Ska, Reggae and Rocksteady music paying tribute to singer Millie Small who broke-through with her hit "My Boy Lollipop". She passed away yesterday at the age of 72.

This is one of those shows that starts off as single song that inspires and entire evening of music. I this case it's the tropical swing of John Williams' Cantina Band from Star Wars (May the 4th be with you). So we're going to start there, and swing through steel drums, gypsy swing, and a few other surprises.

In this session of Bridging the Gap we pay tribute to drummer Tony Allen, the foundational drummer behind the texture and rhythm of Afro-Beat music. Allen passed away on April 29th, 2020 from a heart attack.

Exploring new releases this evening on Bridging the Gap. Heavy on the Indie Latin with releases from Wonderwheel Records, and some Indie Rock, Acid Jazz and more.

Since we all need to relax dring these COVID times, this session of Bridging the Gap is going to be a chilled collection of Downtempo, Bossa and Cool Jazz.

Since we're all stuck at home, I'm doing another live mix here in the studio and bringing the party to you.  This session is gonna focus on Breaks, Mashups and B-More breaks.

Happy Earth Day to you and all of us! I'm celebrating it by stringing together a bunch of new music that'll go all over the place.

Happy 420 to you. We're wrapping up the day with a collection of songs celebrating gods gift. It's gonna be a hybrid of reggae, soul, sitar, and psychedelic rock.

This entire show is set around the bubbly breaks and swing of the 1st song... April Showers from Proleter. So it's going to be a collection of Gypsy Swing, vintage jazz set to electronic beats and a little Bossa.

Jazz is Not Dead! Maybe sleeping a little, but it's not dead. This session of Bridging the Gap is an exploration into the current state of Jazz, experimental, aggressive and totally groovy.

Doing two things with this session of Bridging the Gap... digging into some new and favorite indie rock, as well as paying tribute to singer/songwriter John Prine.

After a few weeks of themed shows and memorials... there's been a buildup of songs that have been stuck in my head and on repeat.  So I'm exorcising some of them in this eclectic session of Bridging the Gap.

We lost a legend today. Bill Withers passed at the age of 81. So for this session of Bridging the Gap we'll her his music as well as a few incredible covers and remixes of his music.

Going with the favorites again... picking out a selection of tried and tested songs that I keep coming back to. I'm also doubling it as an evergreen... so you may hear it sometime in the future.

In times like these... you gotta go with what's friendly and familiar. So the music in this session of Bridging the Gap is going to be a collection of favorites... songs of comfort that I always come back to. I'm also doubling it as an evergreen... so you may hear it sometime in the future when the zombies take over.

Happy Spring to you. It's a little late to put together a spring show... but I thought I'd mix it up and make it a head trip too. So this session will be a collection of psychedelic indie rock and world to usher in the season.

This session of Bridging the Gap is going to be an Afro-Funky good time... celebrating the life of Manu Dibango who passed away on March 24th from COVID-19.

Sticking with familiar territory this evening and collecting some favorite downtempo and acid jazz tracks. It's truly a romantic couch-locked type of experience.

The news has been pretty heavy recently... so I'm going to create a happy little musical bubble to escape into for this session of Bridging the Gap.

Since we're all supposed to be practicing social distancing to curb the spread of COVID-19... let me soundtrack it for you.

Nick and Harrison are subbing in for Paige on this soggy St. Patricks Day running through music from Irish musicians from both sides of the pond.

This session of Bridging the Gap is a mixed bag. It's a tribute to the late Industrial Music pioneer Genesis P-Orridge, a little nod to the goth industrial world he created and a few songs about the panic and fear that's being churned up by the coronavirus.

Here's another case of art reflecting real life. With all the breaking news on the COVID-19 or Coronavirus... I figured I'd take some musical inspiration from the news and put together a set of fun songs about fever, flu, virus, and panic. All jokes aside, please wash your hands, avoid prolonged contact, and stay healthy.

They say that women hold up half the sky. So I'm taking a cue from this past International Women's Day and putting together a selection of strong female artists spanning a wide range of styles.

Paying tribute to the late jazz icon McCoy Tyner on this session of Bridging the Gap, and filling in the rest of the show with mostly new releases that explore the changing landscape of Jazz.

Latepost here for Friday's super eclectic fun session of Bridging the Gap.

Check this... Daptone Records has a new West Coast sub-label called Penrose Records which will launch next month. So I'm going to play a few teasers from the new EP and mix that into some breezy west coast Jazz and Soul.
