0:00.0 | From Independent Music Station, K-E-X-V, you're listening to In Our Headphones, a podcast about the songs that we just can't stop listening to. |
0:07.7 | This is Evie Stokes, and this week I'm talking with DJ Abby. |
0:11.8 | For those that may not know me, I haunt you every Wednesday, 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Pacific time. |
0:17.3 | So if you can't sleep, come hang with me or in the archive. |
0:20.6 | Haunting sounds so sinister. |
0:22.2 | And you're the nicest person I know. Isn't it great? Can you hear the joy in my voice with the |
0:27.1 | haunting? I can. It's a good juxtaposition. Okay. So Abby, you have a few songs that you would |
0:32.7 | love to share with us today. A couple things that you can't stop listening to. What's your first pick? |

1:21.6 | You can hear like all that club music goes with percussion first. |
1:25.6 | And I'm just like, yes, give that to me. I need this in 2020. And it was so |
1:30.1 | cool to have that just, you know, injected in this new record, Dia as well. Yeah. She has an amazing way |
1:37.8 | of sharing like, you know, stuff that's vulnerable and personal to her, but also putting it to club |
1:43.2 | music. And I'm here for that because I just want to dance it out and she makes it happen with this. |
1:49.0 | And the beat on this is incredible. |
