"Normally, things are viewed in these little segmented boxes. There's classical, and then there's jazz; romantic, and then there's baroque. I find that very dissatisfying. I was trying to find the thread that connects one type of music - one type of musician - to another, and to follow that thread in some kind of natural, evolutionary way." - Jerry Lee Lewis

WE ARE BACK with a new episode! This week we are featuring Fetty Wap, Grace, Atlas Genius, Cornershop, Chuck Berry, OMI, New Order, Luis Salinas, Adamu Okosun and the Warri Six, Paris Cafe Ensemble, James & Bobby Purify, Jerry Lee Lewis, and A Certain Ratio!
