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

Loved hosting Daniel Villarreal and his excellent band in studio today! He was in town to perform at Moondog Cafe, a new-ish venue bringing some of the most exciting stuff to the city right now… and man, Daniel did not disappoint. We’re gunna break that set out into its own post later this week so you can hear it in full, but if you can’t wait, head to the 2:20 mark and listen up! It’s wild stuff. Plus, new music from Joy Crookes, Theo Croker, Girls of the Internet, Spoek Mathambo, Mount Kimbie and more.
