This week, I completely lost my voice! So you listeners that hate the sound of my voice are in luck, as the show this week is designed to be a study playlist. Therefore, there's minimum talking, and maximum concentration. Enjoy a solid 40 minutes of work, before you reward yourself at the end with little dance break! This week is a deep look into electronic chill vibes, with appearances from Tourist, Odessa, Broods, Madeon and Rüfüs du Sol... so prepare to get acquainted with a new genre!

This week, in preparation for the spookiest night of the year, we are walking you through a 2020 Halloween!

The music this week is brought to you by the best that "spook" has to offer: from Kim Petras, to Duran Duran, to Rihanna... There's something here for everybody! So have a BOOgie and get your freak on this week!
