    Sonic sunshine to power you through another cloudy LA weekend ahead.
    Jan 6, 2023

    Store up some musical sunbeams to keep you glowing through the first full weekend of 2023. If you’re with us here in LA, the clouds are on their way back soon, but we’ve got our tunes to keep us feeling bright. Dig the wickedly fun electropop of Parisian popsters Courrier Sud on their brand new single “Solita.” And frighten off your Sunday Scaries in advance with Berlin’s boundaryless dance maestro Waleed, Beirut-based multi-instrumentalist Charif Megarban, Lena Horne and Gabor Szabo re-interpreting a Beatles classic, and so much more.
