George Lyons invites listeners into the Lyons Den for a techno-organic groove journey through rare musical gems.

This episode is a curated music mix from the archives of "The Lyons Den Radio Show," hosted by DJ George Lyons on member-supported station KUNV Las Vegas. George Lyons guides listeners through an eclectic, genre-spanning musical journey from his program. The show originates from Las Vegas and is broadcast on 91.5 FM, streaming globally via KUNV.org. The episode features a substructure track from *Cafe Del Mar Volume 10* and Firewire by Portishead from their debut album *Dummy*. It includes the Andy Votel mix of Beeline from Lamb's limited edition *What Sound* and the track Black Capricorn Day from Jimmy Requiem's album *Synchronized*. The set also played Human Nature's cover of Baby, I Need Your Loving from their album *Reach Out*. A later segment presents three Van Morrison tracks: Lifetimes from *Wavelength*, Western Plain from *The Philosopher's Stone*, and Cypress Avenue from *Astral Weeks*. The host describes a technical anomaly where an unreleased Bob Dylan version of Mississippi from *The Bootleg Series Vol. 8* unexpectedly mashed up with John Trudell's Restless Situations from *AKA Graffiti Man*. A notable moment was this spontaneous, "bizarre" digital mashup between the Dylan and Trudell tracks, which the host attributes to a computer glitch or "ghost in the machine." The music selection is designed as a "ride through the techno-organic grooves" intended to make listeners "feel good." Insights include the host's personal note that the sounds played are "certainly the sounds I hear in my head," adding a subjective layer to the curation. The episode also previews an upcoming one-hour Frank Sinatra radio special within the broader program. The tone is consistently relaxed, conversational, and deeply enthusiastic about the music, with the host frequently encouraging listeners to "turn it up" and "groove." The style is that of a freeform DJ set, blending commentary with seamless musical transitions across diverse artists like Kruder & Dorfmeister, Spoonful, and Porcupine Tree. This episode would deeply appeal to music enthusiasts and audiophiles who enjoy eclectic, non-commercial mixes spanning trip-hop, electronica, classic rock, and psychedelic sounds. Listeners seeking structured interviews, topical discussion, or a single genre focus should skip this archival music presentation.
