"In the Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.

I came crashing into the week with a pick up of energy with Spoon’s awesome dub edits from Adrian Sherwood — missed these when they were first released a couple years ago — plus classics from Bob Marley and a sizzling piano-forward edit of Aretha Franklin’s “Rock Steady.”

There’s also some more meditative moments with Erlend Øye & La Comitiva, a first spin from new find Kessoncoda, plus new music from Group Climate, Aaron Frazer and more.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
