We’re making the most of the season with another selection of CanCon. Three of the five following songs are from artists performing this month, the other five are just good times. So make peace with the temperature (brrrrr) and warm up to these great tracks by: Marry the Sea by Imaginary Cities Cults by Little […]

One of Pop Okanagan’s local feature DJs, JPod mixes up this month’s A-OK DJ Mixtape. Grass and Gospel is a unique and soul-stirring selection of JPod remixes inspired by bluegrass and gospel songs blended with his big beats and heavy bass. Reminiscing in faith-inspired music of the past has never been more fun. Grass & […]

Fall is in full swing. October showers mean it’s getting colder, but also means we’re 9 days away from Pop Okanagan, the music festival replacing BreakOut West. To get you excited about the acts coming through, we spent hours going through the line up, painstakingly narrowing down who to play on this Mixcast for you, […]

Happy September friends! It’s normally that type of year we start to throw on pants, maybe a sweater or hoody at dusk, but not here in the Okanagan. We’ve been blazing the trail with 30 degree weather, unusual even for here. As a September baby myself (26 on the 16th, a-thank you) I’m not complaining, […]

Artists featured this Mixcast: She’s Not There by Neko Case & Nick Cave Last Night by Yes Nice Soft Revolution (The Stills) by Stars Horses by […]

It has been a while, I’ve been riding the coattails of the Big Wet Canadian Summer Mixtape since May, but I suppose it’s time to make another Mixcast. Paritally inspired by an after-party from Saturday—meeting/seeing The Joe & Doug Hoyer perform— partially inspired by guilt, this Mixcast features artists that have either just recently played […]

Hello and welcome to our most ambitious mix yet! Just in time for May Long (and by that logic, summer) I am proud to present the A-OK Big Wet Canadian Summer Mixtape. Yes, mixtape, just like those of us born in the 80’s or earlier used to make for our crushes. This one even comes […]

In these short weeks leading up to our Launch Party on April 16th at the Laurel Packinghouse we’ll be featuring some of our local friends who will be taking part. This is music week, we’ve learned a lot about Behind Sapphire, Fields of Green and Thomas Kjorven (on more than one occasion!) and even saw […]

Happy Monday! Mondays are tough, frankly I can’t get anywhere without my first coffee of the day. Thankfully we have a full helping of Canadian Content to enjoy this morning. I’m inspired by seeing the sun a few days in a row and seeing the snow melt all over the valley, and in dedication to […]
