In The Groove: The return of Detroit’s Slum Village, Arooj Aftab teases new album (May 8, 2024)

Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET.

I love when someone like Detroit legends Slum Village drop a new album — their first in nearly a decade — and I can build a show around that. I can’t say enough about the new project.

There’s also a good chunk of Pakistani singer-composer Arooj Aftab, who is getting ready to release a new album, and new releases from Saya Gray, Wu-Lu, Vegyn, Baby Rose, SPRINTS and much more.

Let’s go on a musical journey together!
