Foreign Hour: Jouvert Bouyon w/ Jon Trini

This is a mix by the LA-based DJ/Producer extraordinaire Jon Trini as we prepare for Junkyard Jouvert in Los Angeles on Saturday June 21. This mix features new Bouyon from Dominica as well as records from the region that are directly inspired by the Bouyon sound. Enjoy!

Folk Krautrock Indie Rock

Brian Weitz has been making music as Geologist with Animal Collective for going on two decades. The egg first cracked in the mid 90's at Baltimore record fairs and long overnight radio shows in New York on WKCR. Whether making sounds in the practice space or playing records, his bandmates call it the O'Brien System. One Tuesday each month you can go there with him on NTS 2.
