Week 22 - August 02, 2024
EPISODE 22 of Z-GR! Radio
Z-GR! Radio overview right from your Host:
- My name is Scot Apathy – I’m the lead singer for Zero-G Racetrack, and I curate the ‘Floating Around the Racetrack’ Spotify/YouTube playlist. It’s not a pay for play list; I personally choose what’s on it based on what I hear. True story.
- For Z-GR! Radio, I pull from tracks/artists on the playlist (current and archived) and include newer finds that might not be on the list yet (but likely will be).
- The artists included come from myriad genres, geographical locations and stage of growth. I stay away from mainstream established artists, but I will play artists that I’ve followed as they grow. I love it when emerging artists gain traction, and I like to celebrate it.
- I include a cover song each week, and highly recommend checking out MetroVeteran’s (Ruel Smith) ‘Synthwave Covers’ Spotify playlist. There are 900+ great tracks on that list.
- I post a page like this each week to help you find out more about the artists you heard on this week’s show and to make it easy to do so.
- I’m working with NEWHD on a Featured Artist program, and I’ll note those artists as they appear.
Have fun with the list below, enjoy the artists/music and…

Z-GR! Radio Episode Twenty Two Lineup
Ollie Wride - A Matter of Time
I first heard Ollie Wride in 2022 on a Twitter post where he was doing an impromptu cover of Annie Lennox – it was amazing, and since then he has blown things up – multiple tracks are well over a million streams, and ‘A Matter of Time’, a favorite of mine has recently been remastered.
The Mondays / LiTTiE / The Fancee - Like That
‘Like That’ is by Episode 10 opener Kali J and Leslie Powell, the other half of the power pop duo the Mondays. You’ve heard them on multiple TV shows and commercials, and of course, L.A. Producer extraordinaire Littie is in the mix.

Fight Like Apes - Pretty Keen on Centrefolds
Lauryl Sulfate and the Ladies of Leisure - I Go Deep
Supersonic Platonic - Buzzkill
Royal Castles - Hunny Bunny
Deco - Bitter Sweet Symphony
If you know anything about the history of the Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ you know that it the centerpiece of one of the nastiest songwriting credit disputes on record – fortunately, things went the Verve’s way back in 2019 which is well deserved – simply put, the track is amazing, and Deco’s take on the song is really, really fantastic.
Melinda Kausek - In The Dark
I’ve seen live here in the Bay Area several times – she plays a really cool Banjolele which is exactly what it sounds like it is. I really love good storytelling in music, and I always appreciate artists who tell those stories in unique ways using unique instruments.
