For the sixth consecutive summer, our pal Chris Berry of Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers joined us in the KMSU studios to play a bunch of music from his personal collection and to talk a little shop about his labels. These have been some of our favorite shows to do over the years as they are always filled with loads of new discoveries and little known gems, and this episode is certainly no exception. Chris put in double duty this time around in Mankato, too, sticking around to DJ at a local event we were involved in that featured performances from Termite Acropolis, Final Seed, Lens, and Matthew De Gennaro. It was an all-around good time, of course, and included the usual fine dining and cold beverage intake. But, there were a few new surprises to this year’s experience: BATS!! Not the baseball variety either, but those actual little flying critters. For real, you’ll have to ask us about it some time. Hope you enjoy this episode, though. Check out the links below to find out more information about each of the releases played or feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for looking and listening.
