The Gathering: Andrew Jervis w/ Egon and Miche

Jump into The Gathering with California-based Andrew Jervis for musical discoveries from around the world and rare joints from the vault. This month is a magical summertime mixtape of all-oldies, including obscurities, classics, and favorite reissues of the year so far. From spiritual vibes emanating from behind the iron curtain to Italo-disco, soulful French prog to hypnotic Greek Epirotic music, Bay Area Highlife to Afro-Cuban sunshine sounds and even a couple of jazz and jazz adjacent tracks from the UK scene of the 80s and 90s - we've got your audio air miles lined up!

We've also got a double dose of Curator's Corner in this month's episode. Guests joining Andrew in the Corner are Now Again founder Egon, along with Miche, whose reissues on multiple labels including the mighty Mr Bongo have all been 100% fire - both are exemplary compilers and earned their spot in the Corner by continuing to dig deep and bring forth the music we need in the age of the algorithm and everything everywhere at once culture. Tune in to hear what makes their reissues tick, what they think makes an essential compilation, and who their favorite curators are.
