He talks about what's been exciting him about music from the Bay Area, then shares a dreamy and joyful ambient track from Oakland in the '90s that was recently rediscovered. He also recommends a track that bring West Asian folk into the club, talks about what makes the "Oakland techno" sound, and shares some enveloping shoegaze from an emerging group.
