Introducing… KGNU’s Millennium Mixtapes! 🎶

A sonic journey curated by KGNU DJs, celebrating the sounds that defined the last 25 years in music.

First up is longtime KGNU volunteer, DJ, radio trainer, and host of TerraSonic, Joel Davis.

Joel says: "Looking at the release years of these records (listed alphabetically by title), I see that this list is apparently a lot of nostalgia for the early aughts with a little recency bias mixed in. I’m sure once I hit ‘send’ I’ll come up with another 30 albums just from the 2010s. This list reflects an ear and taste developed over 3.5 decades at KGNU and based solidly on my experience at this incredible radio station. Thanks for listening and for supporting. I hope you find something on this list that you didn’t know you love. ¡Viva KGNU!"
