listen to an early morning radio mix broadcast on new years eve live on CKUT radio in Montreal. this mix visits many styles and sounds, including Montreal artists and many internationally.
generally when selecting these tracks the state of the world was on my mind, the tones and melodies often are pensive and searching, while many of the vocalists on the tracks are speaking on about their own personal struggles, or broader collective struggles in society.
hope that you enjoy this mix, thanks for listening.
take care. -- stefan.
