I'm really excited to be DJing again more this year! Here's what I have on deck for the coming days. Would love to see some Bluesky peeps out there:

I'm playing at Sounds Good in Toronto this Friday Oct 17, it's going to be all UK music: UK garage, funky, jungle, etc.

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.

You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.

Thoroughly enjoying the new Americana record from Meredith Moon. Produced in Toronto and Nashville by Colin Linden, who also plays guitar.

The showcase lineup at this year’s Folk Canada conference feels almost like an actual folk festival lineup, given the number of well-known artists on the bill—names you might expect to see on a mainstage somewhere: James Keelaghan, Suzie Ungerleider, Crystal Shawanda,
