Weekend Showcase 2.16

Weekend Showcase 2.16 edition is another laid-back, chill out playlist, which has 51 songs by artists you ought to know (and some you likely do).

This past week featured the usual suspects – premieres, albums, singles, and photo essays. We did, however, also invited some of our favorite artists to pay tribute to a legend, a man who we all thought was immortal. Within the playlist, as such, you’ll find a great cover of one of Prince’s iconic songs.

The playlist and tracklisting, as usual, follows the list of articles from the past week. The artists on the Weekend Showcase 2.16 edition are from: Australia, Canada, England, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, and United States.
