Have you ever wondered what fusion of music will occur as we collectively stumble around the internet gathering bits and bytes of tunes and traditions from across the globe. Who will mesh and mash-up and draw upon such treasures. What new sounds will emerge and what new world will be born from such creations. I wonder a lot about that but mostly I wonder who will be brave enough to seek.


"I wrote this EP as I was coming into myself. It was a period of my life when I learned how to love myself and what it meant to show myself respect. The root of this EP grew from the word resilience; Resilience in my mental health, as a woman and in my relationships. - LIA





"Sometimes the biggest holdback is that little voice in your head saying you can’t do what you really want to do, for fear of failure. It’s a song where I’m battling the inner demons in my mind, asking them ‘why you wanna bring me down?’ when all I want to do is at least try. We all battle with these voices and this came to me and sometimes confronting them is the best way to get ahead." - Aphrose

I was watching an ad for No Frills, a video by Scott Cudmore and I started thinking about art, because that ad is art and how art is reinterpretation of life, art is a question of what is and who we are and who we are as art and there is a further story about how who we think we are can be reinterpreted as pixels for one or paint daubs for another. Who will you trust to reinterpret you? Who will you trust to re-constitute you? Would you even let go of your ego? But while I ponder here are tonight’s guests.




“This song is about the perils of falling for a poet, and just how rare it is to find true love.” - Lynee Hanson


“Directed by Amelia Curran and shot during the recording of my latest album, Sweet Marie, the video for "Hands on Fire" is a celebration of collaboration and the song itself embodies the struggles and joys of creating something.” - Erin Costelo


“This song is a celebration of me finding my way to womanhood and because of that, opening my arms to love.” - LIA


"During that period of 180 days, I often wondered what it would be like if I ever reached the other side; a seemingly unattainable goal. This song is an homage to that dream-like period." - Ada Lea

Ride on, its almost September, the mystical beginnings of Fall when the funds for the Ontario Stereo Acquisition Program will be deftly pocketed and bands shower the season with songs. But don’t rush it, don’t jog, or gallop, just saunter, one slow foot in front o the other, the Fall will still be there when you get there.
