• 7.5 Featuring Kenny Fresh of Fresh Selects

  Today's episode is very rare — featuring the notoriously elusive Kenny Fresh, founder of the influential independent record label Fresh Selects. Kenny is known for discovering & ushering in the careers of SiR, Kahdja Bonet, Charlotte Dos Santos, Braxton Cook, and more. Kenny premieres two unreleased Fresh Selects singles on the show: one from a retro-future sounding duo named Figmore, as well as an intergalactic journey of a track by Styleboi_92.   We discuss the Midwest music scene with Chicago’s An Abstract Tribe & St.Louis’s Bari. We tap in with Soulection’s latest release from Elujay & J. Robb, listen through a breathtaking offering from Amyra, and stoke conspiracy theories about who the mysterious singer is on Kilder’s “Dont Hide.” This episode is dedicated to the late, great MF DOOM. 01 "Sol" by Abstract Tribe (ft.
