Show number 39!
As always, the latest and greatest in leftfield beats and electronic soul, plus interviews with my favorite artists for your listening pleasure every Sunday night on Dash 1 at DashRadio.com.
We never play the same song twice on this show, so consider it your weekly update of all things new and good in soulful and beat-driven music!
This week we welcomed the Innovative Leisure-signed London musician Tropics to the studio for the #SixSongScenario and LA-via-Sheffield DJ and Reinhardt label owner Mister Sushi for a very special all-vinyl set!
