Eli Escobar is an NYC native who has weaved his way into being one of the city's favorite DJs, seamlessly blending house, disco, New Wave and funk into the sort of flawless storytelling one associates with the legendary mixmasters. A co-founder of Tiki Disco, a resident of clubs like House of Yes and Le Bain and a super Madonna fan, Escobar joins Vivian for an hour of music and banter about his most recent album, _Shout_, for Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter's Classic Music Company label, coming of age in the Big Apple and the songs that help heal the world's ills. Also on today's show: a preview Chal Ravens' _Top Flight_ show; some thoughts from "visual composer" and avant-opera singer Kárynn; and plenty of new music and breaking music news.
