Fluid – Best of 2017

Nerd Show curates all of the music heard of the Soma FM station Fluid. It’s described best as the following:

“That strange point on a musical map, where Instrumental Hip-Hop, Chilled Trap, woozy Electronica, and Future Soul meet, exchange ideas, collaborate, and spawn in the soft, bluish glow. Unwind and detangle amidst the soft harmonies, deep bass, smooth chords, ethereal vocals, and dynamic percussion. Not recommended for those operating heavy equipment.”

This show features over 30 of the tracks “loved” by listeners. It’s in reverse popularity order, and there are certainly some surprises. Enjoy!
