ANTS Podcast mostly works the “deep finds” angle, but the time has come for a healthy dose of hit worship with a guest episode from DJ EJ, a longtime Fayetteville music scene staple. He was a station manager at KXUA, where he hosted Wheels of Steel, a show that spotlit local DJs. The show ended a few years back but lives on in the form of a party series, which has become one of EJ’s best known projects. He’s currently the music director for Art Amiss, a local organization dedicated to art, fashion and music in Arkansas. I’m very happy to have him contribute this mix of unabashed soft rock essentials for FTV.
