Now being faced with a stay in place order for nearly a month, we look to music and our online community to maintain our sanity. Fortunately for us, our incredible friend and local legend, Mr. Kal Phanavong has submitted an awesome and long-awaited mix. If you're looking for a feel-good mix to play on repeat, our man Kal has got you covered!

If that wasn't enough show for you, I invited my incredible fiance to have a quick chat about our history with some fun stories and a cheerful conversation. Check Jazmine out and see why we all love her so much! You can find her at http://www.facebook.com/jazmine.sanders.18 <3!

With the growing concerns around COVID 19 and the imposed social distancing and stay in place orders, it is more important now than ever to show support in any way possible within our community. Those of us in a position to support financially by getting meals or buying merch should consider helping prop these scene contributors up. Those of us not in a financial place to do so should communicate to get the help that they need and themselves should consider helping to prop others up or help launch businesses by throwing likes or helping to spread the word. We are in this together and no matter how driven apart we have gotten by the political landscape, now is the time for us to take a step back and realize the full potential and kindness of our community.

To help ease the burden of the corona woes, we received a mix from none other than Aaron Quinn a.k.a. Mr. SubRhythm. He has been a contributor to these scene for as long as I can remember, bringing incredible artists to our city alongside other Sacramento staples. Please join us in showing our boy some love in these hectic times

As always thank you for the continued support!

Due to the increasing concerns revolving around the coronavirus we have forgone the interview this episode as we felt it was our social responsibility. Originally we were scheduled to chat with Jon about his new record label Nine Sixteen Muzik. His label has been getting a lot of recognition as of late and wanted to do our part to spread the word (See the link above). Fortunately for us, Mr. Fix My Sink, a.k.a Mr. Tower Club aka Mr. Jon Anthoni has submitted a mid-tempo funky, hip hop inspired jam session that we hope each of you enjoys as much as we did! Please throw some love Jon's way and let us know what you think!

I sat down and had the pleasure of speaking to the owner and executive chef of one of Sacramento's most beloved dining establishments. We talked about food, business, Tacos and the coveted awards that Chris and his establishment have received. With Sacramento being the farm to fork capital of the world, it was nice to make a new friend and talk about the wonderfully diverse and eclectic scene that Sacramento has to offer.

The DJ mix this month comes from everyone's favorite up front dancing DJ. Austin is not only someone that talks the talk, but he walks the walk. You can hear him around town laying down proper techno, house and even a little bit of liquid drum n bass. Another stellar mix from Sacramento's wonderful talent pool and most certainly one of those DJs on a one to watch list.

As always thank you for the support!

We sat down this episode with our new buddy Jeff Greco, the managing partner of Vive Health Bar off of Broadway, which focuses on healthy food offerings. We sampled the "City of Trees" smoothie and the "Root Awakening" wrap and highly suggest a visit if you are into healthy foods that cater to all dietary needs. We discussed the history of Vibe, the offering, Sacramento's incredible growth and of course, music. Join me in making my new friend Jeff feel welcomed!

The DJ mix for this episode comes from one of Sacramento's most influential indie dance/disco DJs, Mr. Adam Jay. He can be seen all over town at gigs like Lipstick, Emo Night and his weekly disco endeavor at the Ten Ten Room. Adam is a great guy to be around and seemed genuinely excited to push outside of his signature sound to provide us with this sweet little mix. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!
