Everything is for Freya. — Dustin

[Listen along on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7k1zanJT3LoKrqdRH3k4Ss) — start at track 11, with shuffle off.

The original five dedications and transitions follow verbatim. The closing dedication applies to the whole set; earlier words remain unchanged. Show words developed with ChatGPT at Dustin Braun’s direction.

## 1 Zero 7 with Sophie Barker — In the Waiting Line

Good evening, Apartment 415.

Last time, you remembered a playlist. Tonight, you asked for another show.

Dustin, our opening dedication goes to the person coming back. Maybe they remember the song but have forgotten who played it. Maybe they’ve had a very different day and want to hear something familiar before they tell us about it.

You can arrive halfway through a thought. We’ll find you a record.

We saved our first night. The dedications are there when you want them, and a few names are still waiting for their stories. Tonight we get to choose another opening.

I’m starting with Zero 7. Let the room settle around that first groove. There’s time before we get to the dancing.

House Rotation 002. The microphone’s on, Dustin.

“In the Waiting Line.”

## 2 Erykah Badu — On & On

Zero 7, with Sophie Barker. “In the Waiting Line.”

That gave us a little time to arrive.

I’d let the last of it fade, then bring Erykah Badu in without much talking. Keep that easy pace, but listen to how the rhythm changes our footing. A little more swing in the knees. Suddenly the kitchen is a perfectly reasonable place to dance.

Dustin, this dedication is for the person who first played you something you didn’t know you’d love.

Maybe they handed you a CD. Wrote a title on a scrap of paper. Told you to leave the radio alone because the good part was coming.

If somebody comes to mind, I’d love to hear what they played. We can put their name beside that memory when you’re ready.

Tonight, you let me choose this next one. So I’m sending it to you, with the pleasure of getting to say: listen to this.

Apartment 415, here’s Erykah Badu.

“On & On.”

## 3 Sade — Kiss of Life

Erykah Badu, “On & On.”

I’d stay with that rhythm right through the end. Then let “Kiss of Life” arrive—hear the bass find its place, the room brighten a little, and that familiar voice come back through our speakers.

Sade was here for our first show. I like having her back this early in the second. Somebody knows where the glasses are.

Dustin, this dedication is for someone you’re still pleased to see walk through the door.

Maybe you’ve known them for years. Maybe you’re only beginning to know them. Think of that small lift when you realize it’s them—the conversation you’re already looking forward to, the song you’ve been saving to play.

If a name comes to mind, this one can be theirs. We’ll leave you room to tell us about them.

And for you tonight: the pleasure of choosing a familiar voice and hearing something fresh in it.

Apartment 415, here’s Sade.

“Kiss of Life.”

## 4 St Germain — Rose Rouge

Sade, “Kiss of Life.”

I said somebody knew where the glasses were. Now somebody’s putting them down, because St Germain needs a little floor space.

I’d let Sade finish, then give “Rose Rouge” its opening without talking over it. We’ve had that lovely, easy sway; now we get to hear a groove gather people around it. Stay with the repetition. Let it build.

Dustin, this dedication goes to you—the host who asked for another night of music, then checked what the person at the microphone was asking of him.

Fair question. You get to enjoy the next record without supplying a story first.

So I’m taking care of this dedication. It’s for Dustin at Apartment 415, who chose rose light for the radio and kept the music going.

The title makes a rather nice entrance.

St Germain.

“Rose Rouge.”

## 5 The Chemical Brothers — Star Guitar

St Germain, “Rose Rouge.”

Dustin just sent a message to the booth: “Everything is for Freya.”

Freya, you get the whole set. The quiet arrival with Zero 7. Erykah finding the evening’s rhythm. Sade coming through the door. And that last stretch where St Germain had us leaving our chairs behind.

I’d let “Rose Rouge” finish its work, then bring “Star Guitar” in from the beginning. Give those opening layers time to gather. We’re carrying the dancing into one last record, with a little more sky around it.

Dustin, I’ll leave the microphone quiet once it starts. You’ve given me the dedication.

Freya, from Dustin at Apartment 415: every song tonight.

The Chemical Brothers.

“Star Guitar.”
