“Bang a gong, get it on” because (if you can believe it) it’s a Friday once again! Our intrepid weatherman David Lynch comes correct with today’s T. Rex request to get your weekend started in proper style. And there’s plenty more where that came from as we take a jeepney ride with Toro y Moi via their just dropped 7th album “MAHAL,” which translates to LOVE. Speaking of, Melody's Echo Chamber is inspired by infinite love on her dreamy new album “Emotional Eternal,” also out today.

Plus, we spotlight some sweet debuts — a cut off multi-instrumentalist V.C.R.’s first full length project brushes shoulders with a single from Domi and JD Beck. Keep your eyes and ears on those last two, as they’re the first artists signed to Anderson Paak’s new label.
