In this hour, the Oracle opens up a limited-time-only space portal to the Galaxy of Infinite Summer. The journey begins with a surprising downtempo number from Komon.

There’s also a long lost treasure from 1980 in the form of New Musik’s “On Islands” – a song that never made it to U.S. shores back when it was released. There’s more fresh future finds to discover in this trip. Enjoy!
