In March, we indulged R&B pleasures from Joyce Wrice and Solomon Fox, we missed our friends with a sweet song by Joel Young, dreamed of summer with Hirsch, bum-rushed IKOQWE's razor-edged boom-bap, and discovered the cosmic secrets of Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders.

Songs featured on this episode:
• IKOQWE: "Pele" from The Beginning, The Mediums, The End and The Infinite
• Joyce Wrice: "Losing" from Overgrown
• Solomon Fox: "Rockaways" from Solomon
• Hirsch: "Reaction" from Denihilism
• Joel Young, "Friend"
• Floating Points & Pharoah Sanders: "Movement 5" from Promises
