A journey into absurdity; A deep dive into the dustier corners of the record bin. This show features handpicked, obscure garage & psych gems, with an enhanced focus on the underground music made in the years between 1964 & 1971. Raw fuzz, regional basement tapes, & the counter culture sound that skipped the charts entirely. Inspired by the original "Nuggets" compilation.

Tonight on Dreamgaze Overtone, we’re vibrating on a higher frequency as we dive into the shimmering, velvet draped world of Magic Wands. Fresh off the release of their brand NEW Wishing Well EP, this LA duo; Dexy and Chris Valentine, continue to flawlessly master the alchemy of their sound. We’re spinning a few standout tracks from the new record, including the celestial "Starline".

The trip continues as we drift into the sun drenched, kaleidoscopic psych-pop of Sugar Candy Mountain. Their honeyed vocals & tropicalia infused grooves provide the perfect bridge into the hazy, 70s inspired soul of Drugdealer. We’re leaning into that Laurel Canyon melodic sophistication that makes Michael Collins one of the most interesting architects in that realm.

To close out the night, we shift gears into the highart virtuosity of jazz legend Freddie Hubbard. As one of the most influential trumpet players in history, Hubbard brought a fiery, imaginative edge to the avant-garde & hard bop scenes. Tune in, drop out💫

We open tonight's show with the cosmic sensibilities of Kurt Vile’s upcoming album "Philadelphia’s Been Good to Me" with his new single "Chance to Bleed". We'll be feeling those incredibly vibrant home tracked roots & then shift from those the burning brilliance of Courtney Barnett’s BRAND NEW ALBUM "Creature of Habit", which I am absolutely FROTHING over folks. The energy spikes as we crack some freshly released tunage from Jack White. & Later, we dive into the technicolor psych pop of "Orange", the first White Fence record in seven years, where Tim Presley graces us with another vibrant, jangly explosion of sound whilst we await the full album. Join us & we'll navigate the celestial melodies of this months most vital sounds.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the raw, high velocity sound of Death, the legendary trio of brothers from Detroit who were playing punk before the genre even had a name. We are spinning their seminal 1975 recordings, For The Whole World To See" in its entirety tonight.

Long before the world caught up, the Hackney brothers were fusing precision musicianship with an aggressive, spiritual energy that redefined sound. It is a personal favorite of mine, & for good reason; it's pure, unfiltered sonic lightning.The show features a full album play of the record, moving from the blistering speed of "Politicians in My Eyes" to the grooving defiance of "Keep on Knocking," honoring a collection of songs that sat in an attic for decades before finally receiving the recognition they deserved.

To round out the show, theres a curated set of tracks to complement that gritty Detroit energy, featuring heavy hitters & deep cuts from garage rock & punk royalty. Before there was Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols, or The Ramones, there was Death. Tune In Turn On; to Dreamgaze Overtone where we groove together to the sounds of the Underground.

Tonight on Dreamgaze Overtone, where we groove together to the sounds of the underground; we’re leaning into some major radical joy of hearing the BRAND NEW Dandy Warhols cover album, "PinUps". We'll be spinning four standout tracks from the record, showcasing how the Dandy's reinvent their own musical DNA with that signature Portland Left Coast cool.The sonic trip expands as we slide into the sleek, hypnotic coldwave of La Femme and the jagged, high IQ grooves of Parquet Courts. It’s a curation of deep cuts and fresh reinterpretations designed for those who live for the distorted drone of music on the fringe.

Dreamgaze Overtone with Tonino Baliardo of the Gipsy Kings, a virtuoso who globalized rumba gitana, blending traditional flamenco with a rhythmic pulse that conquered the world. We are diving into his legendary lineage & the band’s iconic connection to The Big Lebowski, specifically that untouchable cover of Hotel California that defined cinematic cool. It is a massive honor to host a true master of the craft. Tune in as we celebrate the soul, the strings, & the enduring legacy of the global musical titans Gipsy Kings.

This week, we are channeling over a decade of anticipation into a high octane tribute to Streetlight Manifesto. As we collectively endure the twelve nyear wait for a new record, we are spinning some anthems to keep the fire burning for fans across the globe.Then, the energy shifts from the frantic to the fuzzy as we dive into the vintage crates for some garage favorites. Highlighting the raw, psychedelic organ lines of legendary acts like The Seeds and pairing them with the swagger of Johnny Thunders and the swampy, haunting punk of The Gun Club. 

This journey through the foundations of DIY sound brings together the legends and the pioneers who helped defined the fringe.

This session of Dreamgaze Overtone drifts through psychedelic layers & dreamy soundscapes; featuring brand new sounds from White Fence's latest release. Pairing that lo-fi brilliance with the jangle of The Go Betweens and their evocative classic Spring Rain, alongside the heavy, hypnotic droneage of Spacemen 3. To ground the trip, we are digging into some Stones & their masterpiece Exile on Main St. Tune in as we bridge the gap between garage born legends and the modern underground.

 Dexy & Chris Valentine have returned to enchant listeners with their latest, deeply atmospheric album, "Cascades" & you can hear us chat all about it on this episode of Dreamgaze Overtone. We talked about the origin stories of the band, the new album & what went into it creatively, our mutual love for The Doors & the wide open spaces of the desert, the romantic serendipity that defines their artistic journey & even the time they were featured on Coast to Coast AM with George Nory (big fan over here y'all)!

Far from a mere collection of songs, "Cascades" is like a cohesive sonic portal, pulling you into a world shaped by gothic romance, ancient myth, metaphysical & supernatural moods capturing the aural element of water, along with the lingering echoes of the past. Layered guitars, droning synths & heavy reverb collectively create a dense, hazy texture & that density of "Cascades" evokes the feeling of being underwater; where the sounds seems to move around you rather than directly at you.

Both lyrically & musically Dexy & Chris were inspired by water on this album & listening to it from start to finish will leave you feeling utterly submerged. The vocals & instrumentation on this album literally seem to float over one another rather than sit squarely in the mix, giving the impression of voices coming from a far off place; like you're listening to it deep within a lake or beneath a moonlit river. They build, swell, & recede like tides, making the listener adrift in the midst of the current of the song.

A truly fluid soundscape steeped in an otherworldly atmosphere💫 Tune In; Turn On to this episode of Dreamgaze Overtone because after the interview we will be listening to the full album "Cascades" from start to finish along with a bunch of other great tunage as well✨
