Continuing with the theme of Seven To Consider for any episodes featuring all Creative Commons music just feels right. Seven songs isn't an overwhelming number of tunes that are likely to be unfamiliar to most listeners. Hopefully, it's just enough to leave people wanting more. And as often as possible, I like to include selections that feature recognizable names. The Shad & Skratch Bastid cut that kicks off the show features a co-production credit from DJ Jazzy Jeff. Other hip-hop cuts within this episode include the uptempo electronic-enhanced "My Dreams" from Ultimate Fantastic (one could argue that it's slightly hip-house in its approach) and DJ Enki's "Ghost Of An Instant," which could be a favorite with fans of early work from DJ Shadow and RJD2.

Ohad Slavin's "Hide" is a midtempo hypnotic cut from the Digital Diamonds netlabel that straddles the line betweeen techno and house. "You Are Enough" by Niki J Crawford is uplifting motivational soul that the world can use right now. Tab's "Sake Bomb" is one of the highlights of this episode: a sultry and trippy downtempo song that calls for constant rewinds. And then there's the drum and bass banger "Regal Bounce" by Moki McFly. It comes from last year's blocSonic netlabel release Tabernacle Sanctuary Alligator Soufflé, which won the 2024 Creative Commons Community Music Award for Album Of The Year. If any of these tunes pique your interest about the artists or labels featured within this episode, then my work here is done.
