On a gorgeous early summer day in Montreal, Lexis returns for Episode #19 of Back 2 U, hosting another intimate session of back-to-back vinyl curation. This month, he’s joined by a local music staple—an artist who stopped by to spin their most meaningful records and share the stories behind the music. Our guest is Chris, the creative force behind 180g vinyl café. For over a decade, this Rosemont hideaway has served as a sanctuary for music lovers. It’s the kind of hidden gem that’s well worth the trek, offering a perfect harmony of expert cappuccinos, a robust lunch menu, exceptional tunes, and an atmosphere that feels just like home.

Episode 18: NOEY LOPEZ & MAB'ISH (hosted by Lexis)

On a beautiful spring day in Montreal, Lexis sits down for another round of back-to-back record sharing for Episode #18 of the Back 2 U show. This month’s friendly music hangout features two incredible artists passing through the city to share meaningful records and the stories behind them. First up is Noey Lopez, a cornerstone of the Houston underground House and Techno scene for nearly 15 years. Joining the session is Brussels-based dancer, DJ, and musician Mab'ish, a familiar and beloved favorite of the Kiosk Radio family. Dive into an afternoon of deep selections, global sounds, and transatlantic musical storytelling.

Episode 17: DJ KOZZ (hosted by Destiny)

Lexis hands over the hosting duties to his dear friend Destiny who in turn invites another friend and influence, Montreal’s DJ Kozz. “Kozz–aka Alex Moskos–is the music coordinator at CKUT 90.3FM, the mind behind Drainolith and former guitarist with Montreal noise rock legends AIDS wolf.  I probably first saw him perform at a Concordia Electroacoustics tribute concert to Raymond Scott when I was 18. Since then we got to know each other over the last couple decades through the noise and punk scenes, the radio station and through showing each other weird records. He was the very first person to come to mind when asked to guest-host Back 2 U because we share wide-ranging tastes and a compulsion to understand records in their historical context.”
