Messy Lil Mixtapes

11/14/2025

Season 2 of Messy Lil Mixtapes on WRFA FM kicks off tomorrow night, Friday 11/14 from 10pm-12am EST!

https://www.wrfalp.com/streaming/

Season 1 was about revisiting music on backup drives from my old life. Season 2 will be inspired by new music from my current life and Inbox.

The mission of the show remains the same – putting joy into the world by celebrating music discovered as a journalist in a mixtape for all. A lot of it will be new to me as well so here’s to discovering fresh sounds together — which is what mixtapes were always all about.

There will always be classics and obscure favorites in the mix because everything old is always new to somebody somewhere and I approach each mixtapes as Automatic Writing with Music, so there’s no telling what associations will be made along the way.

We are also adding short interviews with artists, musicians, and DJs about current projects and upcoming releases.

Get in loser, we’re going back to the future!

TGIF Disco Bunnies!
https://www.wrfalp.com/streaming/

In celebration of tonight’s 1-Year Anniversary, the themes for Episode 52 of Messy Lil Mixtapes on WRFA 107.9 FM 10PM-12AM EST are: Inspiration and Influence!

Tonight’s mixtapes “Make You Feel That Way” and “Get It Up For Love” are a deep dive into the eclectic sounds that made me the music lover I am and make this show what it is. It’s a nostalgic conversation between the past and present..

People think that because you enjoy, create, or work in dance music that that’s all you’re interested in. (Like that’s a bad thing.) As a lifelong fan, journalist, and industry veteran of 25 years I can attest that dance culture heads are diverse and voracious sonic junkies united by sound as our love language. It is like air and water to us - essential to life.

At its core music is the manipulation of invisible particles and waves through instruments and our bodies. Paraphrasing Nikola Tesla: If you want to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration – and that’s exactly what music is and does.

In that spirit, tonight’s episode connects the dots between the music that shaped me and the music I have championed. A mega-mix of this episode will be available as a separate stream and download after the show.

Thank you for the support these 52 weeks and stay tuned for year two that will feature short interviews and custom mixtapes inspired by conversations with some of my favorite musicians, DJs, and industry people.
