Guest showfill by Miguel Venexen @soleo333 of the Baz Bombers @bazbombers_cjsw staying true to the format of The A.M. with a very chill first hour (ambient textures, piano, guitar, synth - no vocals or drums!) and then moving into a more jazzy/psych/funk 2nd hour with a bit of a focus on up and coming artist SHOLTO (it just happened, he's killing it!) and the 8:30 throwback features RJD2's album Deadringer! The last hour is more guitar and reverb driven with an uptick of energy and volume! Hope you enjoy!
