Morning Becomes Eclectic playlist, April 12, 2023

Hosted by and
MBE co-host Anthony Valadez are birthday twins, and both make appearances in this set. Plus, new heat from NOIA, Buscabulla, Overmono, 79.5, and Durand Jones.

We’re sending joyous birthday wishes to jazz legend Herbie Hancock, born on this day in 1940. Also born on this day is our own Morning Becomes Eclectic co-host Anthony Valadez so we’re cue-ing up the Sugarcubes classic “Birthday,” to celebrate them both.

Plus, take a twisty sonic adventure with Barcelona’s NOIA and Puerto Rico’s Buscabulla, get dark with electro-gods Overmono, and sample the sweet soul of New York’s 79.5 complete with a feature from Durand Jones.

DJ comment:

The sole vision of Toronto keyboardist/vocalist Chris A. Cummings, Marker Starling make laid-back pop that draws on soft rock and early-'70s singer/songwriters.
