Dan Digs on WNXP – Special Guest: MRCY – May 26, 2024

Episode 5 features the US radio interview debut of the South London soul duo MRCY.

Every Sunday 5p-7p CT I spin a curated blend of electronic soul, leftfield indie, experimental beats, uptempo house grooves, and global sounds live from the studio.

Tune in each week for a special hand-picked mix of brand new music, classic deep cuts, guest DJ sets live in studio, and in-depth interviews with the world’s most innovative musicians.

This week I was joined by Kojo and Barney from MRCY. We talked about how they met via a Stevie Wonder cover on Instagram, how they previously worked with Joy Crookes, Olivia Dean, Cleo Sol, Little Simz, making music that is honest, and their favorite song from their brilliant new album, Volume 1.
