George Lyons welcomes listeners from Las Vegas to the cosmos on KUNV, promising a ride through technorganic grooves.

This episode is a four-hour music program hosted by DJ George Lyons on radio station 91.5 KUNV from Las Vegas. The show features an eclectic, non-stop mix of downtempo, electronica, reggae, and jazz tracks. Host George Lyons curates the music and provides detailed commentary on each artist and album. The first hour included "Under My Sensei (Thievery Corporation Remix)" from the 2004 album *The Outernational Sound*. The set featured "Foto Viva" by Moe Horizons and a 2015 track called "Foto Pati" by Mariel Mariel, which Lyons discovered by listening to his own station. Thievery Corporation's "Samba Tranquil" and "Indra" were played from their 2004 compilation *Frequent Flyer*. The hour also included the classic "Sweet Tides" from the 2008 album *Radio Retaliation*. A reggae segment highlighted remixes from the *Legend* album, including "Get Up, Stand Up (Thievery Corporation Remix)" and "Satisfy My Soul (Beats Antique remix)." The set featured Toots and the Maytals' "Johnny Coolman" with guitarist Derek Trucks and the classic "Sweet and Dandy" from *The Harder They Come* soundtrack. Two dancehall tracks, "Yahoo" by The Viceroys and "I Should Have Known Better" by The Scatolites, came from the 1994 compilation *Respect to Studio One*. Later, the show played "Pink Napkins" from Frank Zappa's 1981 album *Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar*. A track by the group Die Van Deistigen Wehr, spelled out by Lyons, was recommended to him by a DJ from Luxembourg. The set included Radiohead's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" and "Wardrope" by Hooverphonic from their 2006 compilation *Singles, 96-06*. The hour concluded with "Spirits Unseen" by Sharpshooters from their 1996 release *Pure Abstract*. A surprising moment is Lyons sharing that he often discovers new music for his own show by tuning into KUNV as a listener. The detailed backstories for compilations, like *Respect to Studio One* being produced at Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's studio in Kingston, provide historical context. The host emphasizes the global reach of the station, noting it streams "around the world and into the cosmos." The tone is enthusiastic and conversational, mirroring a classic, freeform FM radio style. The style is educational, with Lyons acting as a knowledgeable guide through diverse musical genres and release histories. Listeners who love curated, genre-spanning electronic and world music mixes with deep track histories would enjoy this episode. Those preferring talk-based podcasts or a single musical genre might choose to skip it.
