Candy Apple Blue – Special Star (Matt Pop Mix)

We’re opening the show with an awesome cover this week – Matt Pop, who is amazing, brings another fantastic mix, this time for Pittsburg’s synthpop sibling duo Candy Apple Blue. This is their take on 80’s dance Pop legend Dead or Alive’s ‘Special Star’.

Breathe of My Leaves / Train to Spain – Perfect Defeat (Train to Spain Remix)

It’s not often that we get two awesome Z-GR! Radio artists together on one track – Episode 3 opener Breathe of My Leaves’ ‘Perfect Defeat’ as remixed by Swedish pop duo Train to Spain.

Ekynoxx – Side By Side

Italian electronic pop band Ekynoxx out of Venice released ‘Side by Side’ just a few weeks ago, and it’s awesome.

Amy Douglas – Freak At Night

If you don’t love Amy Douglas, there just might be something wrong with you. She self describes as dance music’s bonafide rock chick but I like to think of her as Z-GR! Radio’s resident Disco Diva – ‘Freak at Night’ is a joint with Brooklyn’s JKriv, who is also killing it.

Young Empress / ToneF – Ghosts – I Ain’t Afraid of No Remix

I had Young Empress on Episode 10 with their excellent cover of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Go Your Own Way’, but the truth is that they’ve got a ton of really great songs and ‘Ghosts’ is one of them. It’s off of their 2021 ‘Lost Time’ album, and they’ve got several remixes of the track, my favorite among them is ToneF’s ‘I Ain’t Afraid of no Remix’.

Junksista – The Truth

Junksista is a munich-based duo known for proudly advocating for healthy libidos worldwide. They are a lot of fun – ‘The Truth’ off of their 2014 album ‘High Voltage Confessions’ and they’ve got a bunch of cool tracks so be sure to take a listen.

Zero-G Racetrack – My Baby Done Left Me

‘My Baby Done Left Me, by Zero-G Racetrack, is our upbeat nod to the bummer that is being dumped by someone you really really dig. Chin up folks…this too shall pass.

Keep Shelly In Athens / Georgia Hurd – You

Keep Shelly In Athens, a project founded by Greek producer RPR as a vehicle for working with other artists is, truthfully, way beyond the status of ‘emerging artist’ but I love their stuff and took the opportunity to get it in your ears. ‘You’ is off of their 2023 album ‘Among Wolves’ and it’s worth taking a spin through their library for sure.

Modern Day Heroes – Danger Zone

Swiss band Modern Day Heroes has been banging around Europe since they formed in 2006, and have shared stages with Motorhead, Bon Jovi and Billy Idol – they’re rockers through and through and ‘Danger Zone’ is awesome.

The Fiends – Talk Soon

The Fiends are out of Swansea and ‘Talk Soon’ is a favorite of mine – They’ve been on stages throughout the summer on both sides of the pond, so check them out if you can.

Low Indigos – Shadow of Love

New York’s Low Indigos is Alexander Bradshaw, and I really dig this track, ‘Shadow of Love’.

Paper Pilots – The Weather (Sneakout Mix)

I love the Sneakout Mix of Paper Pilots’ awesome song ‘The Weather’. It’s been awhile since their last release, and I’m hoping we get some new tracks in the near future.

Estella Dawn – 514 Denim

I had Estella Dawn on Episode 7 so she’s way overdue for an appearance on the show – of course, her latest release is crazy great – Estella’s got a way with words that’s rarely seen and truly remarkable, and she could run a clinic on how artists can and should use social media. She comes across as very authentic and very likeable and her voice and music are fantastic – it’s no wonder she’s blowing up and ‘514 Denim’ is a perfect example of why.

Invisible Squirrel – Tsetses Funking

A favorite track of mine by Episode 7’s featured Guest artist, the Invisible Squirrel, is ‘Tsetses Funking’ off of his insanely groovy ‘Creatures’ album. Make sure you check it out – you won’t be disappointed.
