Friday Night Groove: March '25 Recap
It's Spring, Innit?
Hello music lovers,
The temps are rising on my side of the world, and it feels like most people are eager to burst into spring and summer. There’s a collective giddiness in the air, even if few will be quick to admit it (state of the world and all). Still, it’s nice to soak up those increasingly rare moments when it feels like everyone’s on the same page. It makes you wonder if we’re not as hard to please as we think. With that being said, here’s everything you missed in March.
03-07-25 Friday Night Groove feat. Alfred Nomad
Los Angeles-based artist, emcee, and organizer Alfred Nomad returns to the program for an interview and an exclusive peek into his latest album, Until I Get Home, Take What You Can Carry. I always appreciate my conversations with Alfred because I find his approach to music sincere and relatable. Each release invites you into another chapter of his life, but there are enough threads for you to weave into your own story.

03-28-25 Friday Night Groove feat. J Peacock and Phil Minnick
Interview and guest mix from J Peacock and Phil Minnick, the Detroit-based DJs and two of the co-founders of the Choose Better Friends record label. As you’ll hear in this episode, they’re not only great DJs, but fantastic people as well. I gave them no notes on how to prepare for this mix, and they still managed to fit almost everything I love into a set

Peace, thank you, and catch you next month.
