Embark on this musical journey to hear parts of his original album, the popular samples, and his new collabs with groups like Hiatus Kaiyote and the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra.

    Here's a good one! I tried some new stuff - some worked, and some didn't! You can be the judge! The episode originally aired on February 20th, 2023. Here are the tunes I played - I really encourage you to look at the video from Klaus Doldinger's Passport • Schirokko: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfyI2LTnv_Uq0OASUIAkTliavq74jPWDi
    P.S. there is a weird Al song that we played live. It was unplanned and necessary for a trumpet retrieval. Stay rad y'all!
