In The Groove: Post-Memorial Day chill out mix just for you

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

A massively chilled out show coming out of Memorial Day weekend — where you either danced ’til your knees hurt at Movement and the surrounding ecosystem of dance parties (like I did), or if you chilled all weekend — I just want to bring you back into the real world on a gentle sonic pillow of sound.

Is that cool? 

New music from Molly Lewis, Cousin Kula, Charlotte Day Wilson, somesurprises and a spotlight on Common’s masterpiece Be album, which was released this month back in 2005.

Enjoy!
