Calling in from Berkeley Northern California, just across the San Francisco Bay, Andrew Jervis drops a new episode of The Gathering. Musical guests celebrating new releases are London's Donna Thompson and Sao Paulista Sessa - both have beautiful new bodies of work that both faced down that fear of having to take time off from music, for differing reasons, and came up with the goods! Also, in Curator's Corner is purveyor extraodinaire of vinyl and musical ephemera, "Cool" Chris Veltri who is in his 30th year running things at San Francisco's Groove Merchant record store.

Also in the show: new music Barbados born Debbie Gaskin whose full length just dropped on Toronto's Local Dish, plus Rotterdam musician Anton de Bruin's collab with KOG & AZIZA, plus new music from Scandinavia outfit Dina Ogen, from Momoko Gill. You'll hear Werkha's collab with Daudi Matsiko, new Mike James Kirkland, Chronixx, WRENS, Victoria Port, St Panther, Bricknasty, Juana Molina and loads more - recent essentials, brand new styles, and peeks at upcoming releases by musicians from all over the globe - it's the Gathering!
