I came crashing into the week with a pick up of energy with Spoon’s awesome dub edits from Adrian Sherwood — missed these when they were first released a couple years ago — plus classics from Bob Marley and a sizzling piano-forward edit of Aretha Franklin’s “Rock Steady.”

There’s also some more meditative moments with Erlend Øye & La Comitiva, a first spin from new find Kessoncoda, plus new music from Group Climate, Aaron Frazer and more.
