An early morning sonic sojourn - ears up for new Mexican Summer jams!
Mexican Summer general manager Warren Köningsmark comes to Brooklyn's favorite shipping container for the first hour of selections- Colin and Max take over for the second.
Jake and Max welcome Colin, the newest member of the Freak clan, with two hours of their most spaced selections yet.
After a balearic warm up set by Max, Bob Jones of Eaters graced the studio with his drum machine and broke down the wall to new dimensions.
Our own Jefre Cantu-Ledesma joined us in the studio on the way upstate for an hour of reggae & the like -- followed by an hour of the Freaks at their finest for Rachel's last show.
To celebrate the forthcoming release of F.J. McMahon's Spirit Of The Golden Juice on Anthology Recordings, we invited Greenpoint gem Keegan Mills Cooke for a dive into his enormous collection. Find out more about Spirit Of The Golden Juice here: smarturl.it/FJxQuilt
To celebrate the 2017 Brooklyn Flea Record Fair Jake, Rachel and Max blew the dust off their favorite records from the labels that were in attendance.
The Freaks embraced the late-May rain with 2 hours of selections in the bastion of chill that is the Lot Radio.
Iced coffee fueled this freak journey. Unsurprisingly, Max over did it.
While Rachel trekked through San Juan, the Freaks invited Mexican Summer's graphic designer, the incomparable Bailey E, to paint with her ears for a while.
While Rachel and Max escaped Brooklyn for warmer climes, the Freaks enlisted Mexican Summer comrade Colin to join Jake for a mix to remember.

Jeff Kessel, former sound engineer of the legendary NYC venue Cake Shop, broke out the funkiest in his collection and let it hang free while the sun shined on an unusually warm February morning.
Jake, Rachel and Max continue their cosmic journey into Freakland.
Andrew Chugg’s ears are the force behind many of our favorite sounds — the Anthology Files podcast and Pill’s Convenience LP, to name a few. He joined the Freaks at the Lot for a lot of coffee, records, and positivity.
The mind of the man behind Brooklyn's Ambient Church shows floated into the studio & blessed us with a trove of his rare and righteous cuts.

Rachel, Jake and Max join forces to soundtrack a rainy November morning in Brooklyn.
The Avant Ghetto mastermind Jeff Conklin takes the Freak Terrains reins for 2 hours of the sonic outer limits.

Katie & Jake join Max in the studio for the first in a new Freak Terrains series: Mex Mix, selections from deep in the heart of the Mexican Summer office.
Our beloved Phil is moving on to greener pastures, so we celebrated his departure with two hours of freak selections. Come join us this mourning.
Pill's Andrew Spaulding and Benjamin Jaffe laid it on thick between bites of hibiscus infused donuts, Max plays a favorite funk record at half speed, and Rachel brings us back to earth with cuts from around the globe. Fun was had indeed.
Al Carlson, producer and engineer-at-large, joins the Freaks at Lot Radio to premier new cuts off his forthcoming and welcome a new day.
Globe-trotting DJ, buyer at Academy Records, true gem of a man Ron Like Hell joins us for our first episode at our new home, The Lot Radio.
Jake Pepper, Future Punk and MEX Warehouse Maestro, takes us for a 60 minute journey of disco, post punk and beyond... capped on both ends by Sir Paul, of course.
Weyes Blood fills us in on the inspiration and process behind her new EP Cardamom Times, Baltimore producer Co La phones in to talk No No on its release day, and more Mexican Summer goodness.
In this excursion through Freak Terrains, our guests Dungen dig deep into their record collections, Andrew Kidman talks Litmus / Glass Love and Jon from Pill shares ideal ensemble costumes.
The Freaks invite Jesper Eklow of Soldiers of Fortune and Endless Boogie in for an hour of unheard demos and "shit rock." No Joy call in from the van and talk tour eats, and we debut the latest from Quilt + Connan Mockasin / Devonté Hynes.
A look back at Mexican Summer's sonic offerings of 2015.
