Monday Night Melancholy & Metal with DJ Moto

Posted-onBy lineBylineDJ Moto

In this high-octane Monday night session, DJ Moto brings a masterclass in heavy rock and metal, blending brand-new releases with timeless 70s classics. Despite a few technical “glitches” that Moto handles with professional grace, the show maintains a high-energy vibe, celebrating the arrival of summer weather and the rebellious spirit of rock. The episode features an extensive tribute to Deep Purple’s ‘Burn’ era and explores the global metal landscape, journeying from the Canadian riffs of Iron Kingdom to the shipping-container rehearsals of Norway’s Conagon.

The second half of the show pivots toward upcoming talent and big announcements. Moto spotlights UK-based bands like Open Sight and Soul Weaver while teasing an exclusive upcoming interview with Al Crimso. The show rounds out with a nod to the psychedelic 70s via The Factory and the southern-fried grooves of Black Stone Cherry, ending on a legendary high note with UFO’s ‘Doctor Doctor’. Whether you’re in the mood for melancholic blues or shredding guitars, this episode covers the full spectrum of hard rock.
