    Join us on a hypnotic ride into a brand new week. We’re headed to Hawthorn for Cuco’s latest in advance of his sophomore album, “Fantasy Gateway,” due later this summer. Sam Himself — Swiss baritone, and producer of gentle indie-electro vibes — gets your week of Today’s Top Tune free downloads off to the most proper start.

    And just in case that’s not quite enough excitement for you, we also have your chance to win tickets to check out Helado Negro on Tuesday, May 17 at the Regent Theater.
