The DJ Prescription: A nearly post-pandemic mix tape
John Richards here with the latest DJ Prescription. Today we diagnose a nearly post-pandemic mixed tape need. 3 songs that you would slap on a tape for anyone coming out of this shit show & hoping for better days. Good news, every artist you know or don't know yet is also coming out of this & they have the songs. The songs that are going to see us though this.
1. Strand of Oaks "Galacticana" "I believe that ecstasy happens when we all get together" sings Strand of Oaks frontman Tim Showalter. "Standing Right in front of me, feeding off the energy together.” This song is THE song coming out of the pandemic to celebrate being together.
2. Amyl & The Sniffers "Guided By Angels" Out of Australia, this driving song was half written before the pandemic during the fires down there & this & the rest of the new album during the pandemic. It’s a song influenced by the world changing all around you. Which it is, for all of us.
3. Torres "Don't Go Putting Wishes In My Head" The new album is a contender for album of the year. Mackenzie Scott, the artist behind Torres said she wanted to channel her intensity into something positive, life-saving & joyous. Something we are all trying to do.
Grab those & grab those albums when they come out. We will make it out of this together & music, as always, will lead us to the light. Make sure to follow us on IG @thedrandthedj & hit us up if you need a DJ Doctor to prescribe you any music.
