The Beat Oracle is back for 2018 with a hazy mix of downtempo, leftfield and lo-fi house. Artists like Oddnip, Neo Image and Akasha System are perfect for soundtracking those summer recollections during winter. Hear more great stuff from The Range, Central and The Cyclist. Stick around until the end for a hot tip on a local live show!

As we move into a new year of the Beat Oracle, changes are afoot!
Sharing Future Music with our listeners has always been a labor of love, and due to expanding personal commitments, the podcast will be moving to a monthly two-hour update starting in 2018.
Does this mean the Beat Oracle is finished? Absolutely not! At a minimum, new episodes will be beamed to your listening devices every month, with the possibility of additional shows being added as the inspiration hits. Episodes may end up being 2 hours, 3 hours, or dare we tease…10 hours?
Our year-end retrospectives, Slowly Series, and other specials will also remain intact.
As much as we wish we could continue delivering high-quality mixes each week, we have decided this is the most sustainable path forward to keep the Beat Oracle alive and thriving.
For those listeners looking for more content, check out (or revisit) our 10+ year audio archive for massive amounts of quality tunes.
Thanks to all of our listeners for hanging with us. We look forward to presenting more top sounds this year and beyond!

This is Michael finishing off our three-part 2017 retrospective series. 2017 was a great year for music and this mix features some of the songs that bookmarked my year. Thank you all for listening and giving feedback this year. I want to also offer my deepest gratitude to my co-hosts for the decade of inspiration and partnership.
