Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Jet Lag – A Mixtape

(From 2012. The Jet Lag programme, hosted by Yoon Nam, ceased airing last year after an inspired decade-long run on Atlanta’s 88.5 fm.)

Over the past couple of years I’ve been irregularly highlighting some of my favorite voices online (and beyond), inviting them to guest DJ my show on SIRIUS XMU. For those of you sans satellite radio we’ve been turning these sets into mixtapes, with sounds ranging from the blown-out psych bootcut of DJ Turquoise Wisdom, to the international taboo of Ponytone. Today we catch up with the host behind one of my favorite radio programs of the past year, Jet Lag.

Hosted by Yoon Nam, Jet Lag concentrates on vinyl recordings of international psych, prog, outsider folk, vintage soundtracks, library music, and other rare sounds from the 60s and 70s. It airs Sunday nights from 8 -10 pm on WRAS Atlanta, 88.5FM. Founded in 2006, Yoon traverses the globe weekly featuring a diverse mix ranging from PFM and Ejwuusl Wessahqqan, to Jean Le Fennec and Korean masters Jung Hyun Shin and Jung Mi Kim.

After the jump — two hours of Jet Lag, broken up into two sets.
