On Target

https://ontargetpodcast.ca

This week on On Target, Mod Marty opens the floodgates and lets the rhythm run loose. The set twists through sharp R&B, moody soul, and hard-edged grooves that feel pulled from a forgotten basement party at two in the morning. Nothing sounds polished—and that’s exactly the point. These records breathe, sweat, and push forward with every spin.
