A Protomammal's Guide to Connection
The primordial soup is heating up for something rEvolutionary summer 2025... Every week DJ Jess is cooking up a chain of connections — maybe it's the same producer or a crazy sample or a niche artistic influence or maybe two entirely different tracks relate within their own habitual psychosis. Tune in for some weekly proselytizing on superior songs and all the weird ways they relate to each other. Musings are sure to delight the common protomammal.
