Deep Voices 132 on SpotifyDeep Voices 132 on Apple MusicBecause of some life changes (I had to get a job), Deep Voices has been on an unplanned hiatus. But I am back with a new playlist, one that is (uncharacteristically?) catchy. The idea behind this one was to start with dub, in this case a track by African Head Charge, and spiral outward. A friend I sent this one to said it’s great for the gym. Apologies for the break. If you have a paid subscription and want to cancel or pause, please do.
