Week 24 - September 6, 2024
EPISODE 24 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…

Episode 17’s Malo is back on the show with a track that was featured on a Netflix movie called 365 Days. I understand why it was – it’s a great track that has clocked over 5.5 million streams on Spotify. Awesome.
The Cohrsi / Eisfabrik - Forever- Eisfabrik Remix
Social information is thin on Germany’s ‘The Cohrsi’, aside from a Facebook page, but that’s OK because Stephan Cohrs makes great music and this track is the Eisfabrik remix of ‘Forever’. It’s a great remix of a great track.
