Brought to you, as always, by our city's #KnowFun champions, Do604. This week, we make the switch to Spotify! Tune in, and enjoy...

Chin Injeti “Collision”
Don’t know if this week’s show will be this mind meltingly trippy, but it’s worth going to check out because this track is sick.
Andrew Bird “Capsized”
Bird gets loose and funky in this new single.
Saint Motel “My Type”
A huge track. It sounds like an entire sold out audience is in the recording booth.
Amon Amarth “Twilight Of The Thunder God”
Intense.
Ambre McLean “Run Rabbit”
Down the rabbit hole one more time.
Zion I “Saving Souls”
Incredible Missy Elliot sample in this slick as summertime sunscreen track.
No Sinner “Leadfoot”
Absolutely on fire.
Hot Since 82 “Restless”
There’s no doubt the throwback vibe is crucial to the sound here, not just 80’s but early 90’s too. C&C Music Factory, anyone?
Buzzcocks “ESP - Live”
Regrouping, forgetting about the decades past, and rocking out like not a day has past.
John Dahlbäck “Raven”
International star Dahlbäck knows how to write an anthem that doesn’t suck. Get in.
Art Bergmann “Mirage”
Iggy Pop’s having his comeback this year, will it be the same for contemporary Art Bergmann?
Diana Arbenina “brams”
A slow build, but once Russian star Arbenina begins to let loose, there’s no resisting her.
Viceroy “Keep The Hope”
Urban, rough raw ready.
Charles Bradley “Ain’t Gonna Give It Up”
We could all take a lesson or ten from this guy. When he says he ain’t gonna give up, you know he means it, to his last breath.
Shiloh Lindsey “16 Shells From A Thirty-Ought Six”
incredibly cool version of a Tom Waits classic.
U.S. Girls “Damn That Valley”
Very psychedelic pop.
Young Empires “Uncover Your Eyes”
Young Empires will help you rise above whatever you’re dealing with.
Krystle Dos Santos “Talk Show Host”
Whoa. This is a brilliant remake of the Radiohead track that made a big splash in the Baz Luhrmann’s reimaginging of Romeo + Juliet.
Kim Gray “Frank Sinata”
Lo fi indie rock at it’s mellow, day after a big night out, chillin on a patio best.
Bettye Lavette “I’m Not The One”
Brilliant cover of the Black Keys by the American soul singer.
