Fruit Salad & Existential Grooves
{Notes from the Sound Garden}
Dear dreamers and disco philosophers,
After a sweet little break and some family recharge time, We're back on the air and deep in the heat-drenched swirl of summer. And what better way to return than with an episode that’s part sun-soaked silliness, part cosmic inquiry? I’m calling it Fruit Salad & Existential Grooves, because that’s where my brain has been living lately: somewhere between sweet fruit chunks and deep sonic contemplation.
This mix is for the moments when you’re standing in front of the fridge wondering why we exist, or dancing barefoot to distract your overthinking brain. It’s a little retro, a little ridiculous, a little reflective, just like this season.
Music has this wild power to hold our joy and our questions at the same time.
And this playlist? It’s a whole existential picnic, packed with playful bananas, cosmic beats, and the occasional mind-melting sample collage (thanks, Avalanches and ECC).
So whether you’re listening live, catching the replay, or just here to peep the tracklist, I hope these grooves bring you a moment of magic.
💜 With love from the whimsical edge of reality,
DJ Tea
