Gerard Alain joins the show for episode 9!
Each week on WNXP I spin a weekly two-hour curated blend of electronic soul, leftfield indie, experimental beats, uptempo house grooves, and global sounds live from the studio.
Tune into 91.1FM or wnxp.org every Sunday evening from 5pm to 7pm for a special hand-picked mix of brand new music, classic deep cuts, guest DJ sets live in studio, and in-depth interviews with the world’s most innovative musicians.
Gerard Alain joined me on the show this week (on his birthday, no less!). We talked about the hugely inspiring Janelle Monae, the genius of Stevie Wonder, the talents of Maurice White, his first time singing to an audience, and his favorite track from his party-starting new funk-soul-R&B-rock album, Opening Act.
On this week’s show we also featured new tracks from James Blake, Sunni Colón, Catpack, Swim Surreal & Zero 7, Ezra Collective, Thee Sacred Souls, J-Felix, SBTRKT, Session Victim, and more.
