The Dan Digs Show 083: New Sampha, BadBadNotGood, Paper Tiger, Floating Points, Audion – Special Guest: Sweatson Klank
Show number 83!
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 Sweatson Klank to the #DanDigsShow.
We talked about making music in log cabins on remote Washington State islands, his birthplace of Paris, what he looks for in a beat, and his forthcoming new album.
Plus the show saw brand new music from Sampha, BadBadNotGood, Paper Tiger, Floating Points, and Audion.
