Captain Planet? More like Captain Plan-it! The new one from KCRW’s superfriend is so fresh and funky, you can’t even check it out on our Spotify playlist yet (watch this space as we’ll add it as soon as it drops on Friday).
For the tunes you can use right this moment, look no further than the inspired team up of Daniel Avery, HAAi, and Kelly Lee Owens for a slice of ethereal techno you’ll be pondering all throughout the lead up to Avery’s forthcoming album “Ultra Truth,” due in November. You can also check out the spirited arrival of Tank and the Bangas just a couple of weeks after their latest full-length “Red Balloon,” the summer-ready dynamic duo of Tame Impala & Diana Ross inviting you to “Turn Up the Sunshine,” and the rest of the list below.
