The DJ Shannon Show @ The Lot Radio 4/15/26

April’s episode of The DJ Shannon Show on The Lot Radio delivered a vibrant, feel-good journey through sound, blending warm, textured grooves with crisp percussion and a pulse of driving house energy. The set unfolded naturally, weaving between soulful melodies and rhythm-forward beats. Some of my favorite tracks include the synth-soaked “Sauve” by Doug Gomez from his Cypher Girl Phaze 3 EP, the infectious, drum-heavy energy of “Tambores” by Nolek, and the lush, atmospheric house stylings of Kareem Ali from his latest album, The Essence, two tracks that dance effortlessly between cosmic textures and deep house rhythms.

The mix struck a balance between introspective and energetic, offering moments to drift and others to move, making it perfect for both focused listening and letting loose. And the affirmation for this episode is: “I’m seen, you’re seen, we’re seen.”

It’s easy to feel discouraged when you’re putting your talent out into the world or trying to bring a project to life, only to be met with rejection, cold shoulders, or resistance. But that’s not the full story. Somewhere out there, there are people who genuinely connect with what you’re creating, people who see your vision and want to support it. Sometimes that support shows up in unexpected ways: a random listener, a new fan, or even someone who turns into a real friend.

Keep going. Stay true to your voice, trust the process, and don’t give up.

Adding to the excitement, the episode earned a Staff Pick of the Week from The Lot Radio team, a nod that I’m deeply humbled by! Truly grateful for the love and support, and hoping this mix finds its way into your rotation. Dive into the full tracklist below, and catch you next month for another episode of The DJ Shannon Show.
