Rare Charm w/ Laurie Piña + Ella Blou - May 29th 2024

About

“Rare Charm with @crushedpeanut is back on air tonight, Wednesday, May 29 at 8pm PT, this time around with a special guest mix on hour 1 from international silly lady, queen of boop, proprietress of sugary grooves, @ellablou! 🎀🛍️🐩🍧🌠💞🍓🫖🪩 Ella Blou is a British dj, designer, and stylish lady with a snazzy handbag collection. Her approach to djing is informed by elements of fashion and design, with a heavy emphasis on worldbuilding. She spins visions of candy floss out of beats and boops and unspools wonderful spaces for listeners to dream in with her selections. She hosts Ella Blou on @NoodsRadio. I am a huge fan and honored to have her as a guest this month!” —Laurie
