The Dan Digs Show 006: New Hiatus Kaiyote, Flying Lotus, James Blake, BadBadNotGood, Breakage – Special Guest: Erik Hassle
Show number 6!
As always, the latest and greatest in leftfield beats and electronic soul, plus interviews with my favorite musicians, for your listening pleasure every Sunday night on Dash One at DashRadio.com.
This week we welcomed Stockholm, Sweden avant-pop-soul singer Erik Hassle to the studio to take us through the #SixSongScenario, where artists tell the story behind their favorite tracks and explain what these songs mean to them.
You can stream the show via Mixcloud below (follow my shows at mixcloud.com/dandigs) and subscribe to the Dan Digs podcast on iTunes here.
Here’s how we hustled and hassled.
(For some strange and unknown reason the mic audio conked out during the first three songs, so please enjoy plenty of audio ducking and imagine I’m talking over it.)
