Fanatic! The frogs are back in town. It must be summer. It is as far as this Fanatic is concerned. I’m beaming in to you from the parking lot of the venue in Colorado Springs, CO. Shows have been going great and if anything, it seems to be ending before it even started. It seems like a week ago we were in Michigan and now we’re over fifty shows in.
Tonight we start our summer listening cycle with Charles M. Bogert & Associates and bullfrogs in the background whenever I’m on the mic to make things as ridiculous as possible.
In the small backstage areas I’m afforded in the venues I’m in, I’ve started a re-immersion of summer listening. Black Tambourine, Flin Flon, Unrest, UK Subs, Bratmobile and others. I’m going into the venue soon and will set up my portable system and get into it. I’m grateful to have an audience waiting for me every night. It’s been three years waiting to get back out here.
I hope you’ve been getting some good listening happening. I spend a lot of time in the gym and have been enjoying the treadmill sessions with the earphones. We have an excellent selection of tunes for you, hopefully you’ll find it all to your liking.
Have a great rest of the weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

John Tejada maps electronic music across time, connecting the underground’s history with the sounds shaping its future. Deep cuts and new releases move through techno, electro, house, ambient, and other corners of electronic music, with each selection building naturally into the next. The show is as much about flow as discovery, tracing the ideas, rhythms, and innovations that continue to push electronic music forward. Expect established innovators alongside emerging producers and overlooked gems from decades past. Tune in to John’s show Tuesday and Saturday nights from 10pm to midnight.
Peanut Butter Wolf goes deep into a lifetime of collecting, pulling from more than 50,000 records alongside a digital archive packed with unreleased music and overlooked discoveries. The founder of Stones Throw Records favors the underdog, moving through hip-hop, funk, soul, electronic music, oddball records, rarities, and sounds that resist easy categorization. Inspired by generations of adventurous DJs and selectors, the show treats digging as an art form and the unexpected find as the ultimate reward. Tune in every third Sunday of the month from 8 to 10pm.
