This week Jamie Evans— author of High Times Cannabis Cocktails — stops by the studio for a conversation about cannabis beverages, sensory experiences, and the ways music can deepen our appreciation of flavor.

Together, we explore the art of pairing cannabis-infused drinks with records, drawing connections between aroma, mood, rhythm, and memory. From hazy atmospheres and late-night grooves to cosmic disco and driving house rhythms, Jamie's selections mirror the character of the beverages, creating an experience that's as much about feeling as it is about listening.

Along the way, we discuss the evolution of cannabis beverage culture, mindful consumption, and what it means to approach both music and mixology with curiosity, intention, and a sense of play.

Back behind the turntables for another solo session, this week's episode is built around a stack of recent finds that have been getting plenty of play - but not yet on the air. It's an all-vinyl mix that moves naturally through downtempo, hip hop, reggae, Italo, disco, house, and Afro-Latin flavors, with a few edits, white labels, and fresh releases woven in along the way.

No theme this time — just following the records wherever they wanted to go. New discoveries, old influences, and grooves that felt right together. Episode #478

Along the way, Bay Area voices like La Doña, Orchestra Gold, and Bayonics remind us that these rhythms continue to find new homes and new stories right here in our own community.

Sometimes the best plans are the ones you never see coming. After today's scheduled guest didn't make it to the studio, I had to put together the show at the very last minute, digging through recent arrivals and fresh discoveries on the fly. What started as a scramble quickly turned into one of those sessions that reminds me why I love doing live radio.

The result is an hour of brand-new music that moves between deep house, Afro-Cuban rhythms, Brazilian percussions, leftfield electronics, and a few dancefloor surprises — tracks I've been excited about and was happy to finally share with you. A last-minute change of plans became an unexpected favorite. Thanks for listening and rolling with it. Episode #475
