Today’s Top Tune: Flying Mojito Brothers ‘Polk Salad Annie’ 

The Flying Mojito Bros link up with the legacy of Tony Joe White on The Swamp Fox, a remix project that bridges swampy Southern soul with late-night disco grooves. Inspired by White’s own genre-blending experiments in the late ’70s and ’80s, the UK duo rework cuts from The Real Thang including “Polk Salad Annie” into their signature “desert disco” sound—bringing new life to the Swamp Fox’s timeless funk.

Today’s Top Tune: Diego Garcia ‘Could Be Better’

Diego Garcia returns with his new single “Could Be Better,” a natural continuation of the sound he first shaped as the frontman of Elefant. Reuniting with longtime collaborator Jeff James—Elefant’s bassist and producer of the track—the song blends Garcia’s signature romantic style with a stripped-back, minimal band feel. Recorded in Manhattan earlier this year, it marks the start of a new chapter, with more music in the same vein on the way.

Today’s Top Tune: The Brudi Brothers ‘Dark & Stormy

Seattle-based Americana trio The Brudi Brothers bring a raucous, old-world spirit to their music, shaped by years of busking and global adventure. Comprised of multi-instrumentalist siblings Johannes, Conrad, and George, their sound blends streetwise storytelling with a timeless, soulful energy — forged from travels that have taken them from hitchhiking across Europe to performing for the Queen of the Netherlands. Their song “Dark and Stormy” captures that restless spirit, pairing vivid storytelling with a windswept, rollicking groove that feels born for the open road.
