The Dan Digs Show 094: New Nao & A.K. Paul, Jon Bap, Beat Connection, Warpaint, Ta-ku & Wafia – Special Guest: Kastle

Show number 94!

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 DJ, producer, and Symbols label boss Kastle to the #DanDigsShow.

Barrett and I talked about science fiction, the dance music community of the early 90s internet, garage, the UK electronic scene, emotions and feelings, old-school rave recordings, his forthcoming new album, and his latest Coffee Shop at the End of the Universe mix series.

Plus the show saw brand new music from Nao & A.K. Paul, Jon Bap, Beat Connection, Warpaint, and Ta-ku & Wafia.
