AVANT-GARDE JAZZ + CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL SHOW

GREEK SHOW

I managed to secure some Half-Greek guests for this one-off Greek show on Subterranean Trawler. We occasionally slipped into speaking Greek (by mistake?) in between playing some of the best Greek songs you will ever hear on CUR1350.

PSYCHEDELIA + DRONE SHOW

Having recently discovered both the genres of Psychedelia and Drone and having loved them tremendously, I thought I would start of the new season of the show with a showcase of some of my favourite tracks. My friend Dan also joined in and played some of his favourites too.
