First show! My name is DJ Tender and I'll be bringing you music served hot and fresh for your listening pleasure. This first show I'm just getting on my feet with putting together shows for online listening! I don't think any playlist of mine would be complete without Blood Orange. I've been a devoted follower of Dev since I saw him at FYF Fest in LA when I was a senior in high school, and with the early release of his latest project Freetown Sound you have no excuse for getting into him now.. You might know him from his various collaborations with artists like Solange or Carly Rae Jepsen, or you might have been a longtime follower of his first indie project Lightspeed Champion. At any rate, enjoy the tracks or not, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt for creating music that has such a unique sound and feeling. In a culture that feels strongly about the popularization of pop music, music that Dev is producing appeals to those who might want to deviate a bit from what's top 40.
