It was XG with two bangers kicking off the show. Heavy weight rap tune with iconic lyrics, ‘Woke Up, followed by new tune jazz infused hip hop ‘Howling’. IVE got together with David Guetta, who needs no introduction with track ‘Supernova Love’ with a sample from Ryuichi Sakamoto’. We played 8Turn for the first time ever on our show, and I am a newbie to their sounds too. ‘You ar my reason’ is their latest release.

Keeping with our influencer from Radio Host Well Miguel, who circled back to Loona member Yves with her latest track ‘Viola’ from her new album ‘I Did’. Love this electronic funky track.

Dem Joints produced ‘Gold’ from Itzy brought us back, followed by OG’s Monsta X who debuted back in 2015. We played ‘Middle of the Night’ which they released back in 2020. Next up it was new release from Stray Kids who have celebrated being the first Kpop group to have a Japanese tune to hit No 1 on the US iTunes Album Chart. It was a double whammy, as we also played 2022 hit ‘Circus’ which was also from a Japanese EP.

Ateez were back with ‘Ice on my teeth’ followed by one of my faves Enhypen whose choreo is off the charts, with ‘Bring the heat back’. We had two collectives first of with ’88Rising’ with Major Lazer and Jackson Wang to name a few with track ‘Walking’, the mix that is ‘GOT the beat’ with members from Red Velvet, Aespa, Girls Generation and lead diva BoA.

We closed out the show with Way V and Miracle, they have their comeback at the end of the month with ‘Frequency’, and our faves New Jeans who are going through things with their label ‘Ador’ – regardless, their song ‘How Sweet’ remains a solid fave of mine.
