A student and admirer of all forms of music, LA-bred John Tiangco cites the sounds of various public local hip-hop radio as his formative influences. Join him one Monday a month on Fine-tune - an hour of music bridging several genres from underground/ indie hip-hop, neo-soul/ RnB, jazz, electronic, rare grooves/samples and psych/alt rock--both old, new and everything in between.
From the host: _"In this mix marking 2 years back in my hometown of Seattle, I pulled from deep, cheekily sentimental, occasionally glitchy, percussively hypnotic trax to craft a sonic palette fit to glide over the still autumn waters of Lake Union, Lake Washington or the Puget Sound.Bundle up for the hour-long ride and let this mix calm you down and then rev you up as the fall leaves descend from their perches!"_ Find the full tracklist and related episodes on NTS: https://www.nts.live/shows/rare-species/episodes/rare-species-4th-november-2025
