A Six-Hour Journey Through Indie, Folk, Alternative, and Beyond (4PM–10PM)
Monday Night Mix on Indie Q Radio:
If you’re looking for a radio show that truly captures the spirit of independent music discovery, Monday Night Mix on Indie Q Radio is the place to be. Airing every Monday from 4pm to 10pm, this expansive, genre-blending broadcast delivers a random mix of songs curated with heart, curiosity, and a deep respect for artists outside the mainstream. Hosted by Ella, the show feels less like a playlist and more like a musical road trip—unpredictable, emotional, and endlessly rewarding.
A Thoughtful Start to the Evening
The evening kicks off with emotional honesty and indie warmth, opening with “Don’t Leave Me” by Madi Diaz, followed by the gritty glam of Du Blonde’s “TV Star.” After the Monday Night Mix Intro with Host Ella, listeners are pulled into raw nostalgia with Modern Baseball’s “Rock Bottom (Demo)” and the reflective Americana tones of “Rocky Mountain Low” by André Costello.
Early highlights include Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit’s “Only Children (Live From the Ryman)”, Alee’s “Oh to Be Young,” and the crossover energy of Tayler Holder & T-Pain’s “Dyin’ Flame (2025 New Version).” These tracks set the tone for a show that values storytelling just as much as sound.
Indie Depth and Emotional Range
As Segment 2 unfolds, the mix leans deeper into indie and folk textures with Blood Cultures’ “Cabin Fever Freestyle,” Sam Robbins’ “All So Important,” and Rosali’s “Rewind.” Fan favorites like Slaughter Beach, Dog appear multiple times throughout the night, first with “Monsters” and later “Gold and Green.”
Other standout moments include Jana Horn’s “All in bet,” Casper McWade’s “Last Piece of You,” Evan Honer’s “Nowhere Fast,” and LaMP’s “Jasper’s World.” Dream-pop lovers are treated to Melody’s Echo Chamber’s “Eyes Closed,” while folk and indie rock fans enjoy The Ophelias’ “Parade,” The Redbuds’ “Bring Me Little Water, Sylvie,” and Beach House’s iconic “Once Twice Melody.”
Expansive Sounds, Familiar and New
From yvette young’s “the tide” to Geese’s “3D Country” and The Tubs’ “The Thing Is,” Monday Night Mix thrives on sonic variety. Americana and roots influences shine on Tyler Nance & The Castellows’ “Keeps Me Sane,” Hippo Campus’ “Flood,” and AOTE’s “Godspeed (Goodbye).”
The show also spotlights progressive and experimental edges with Spock’s Beard’s “Invisible,” Violet Grohl’s “THUM,” and Lucy Dacus’ “Forever Is A Feeling.” Emotional storytelling continues with Ami Lyons’ “No Such Thing As Goodbye,” Chaser Crouch’s “When Cowboys Die,” and Katie Spencer’s “What Love Is.”
Classic Touches and Modern Favorites
Listeners are treated to beloved tracks like Jack Johnson’s “Bubble Toes,” Kacey Musgraves’ “Cardinal,” Marian Call’s “Good Morning Moon,” and Jacob Collier’s “You Can Close Your Eyes.” Live energy arrives via Goose’s “Echo of a Rose,” while thoughtful songwriting shines through Damian Wilson & Adam Wakeman’s “Laugh In Time.”
As the night continues, the playlist dives into deep indie cuts and emerging voices including Joy Autumn’s “Say Yes,” Madigan Linnane’s “Haunting’s Just Begun,” Emma Swift’s “No Happy Endings,” and The Real Tuesday Weld’s “Raven Black Love.”
Late-Night Discoveries and Final Stretch
Segments 3 through 5 are packed with discovery, featuring artists like Wednesday (“Townies”), Haley Heynderickx & Max García Conover (“to each their dot”), S.G. Goodman (“Michael Told Me”), Julien Baker & TORRES (“Bottom of a Bottle”), The Beths (“Future Me Hates Me”), Josh Garrels (“Make Us Ready”), and The Narcissist Cookbook (“the Simplest Words”).
The show winds down beautifully with Lawn’s “Water,” Jesse Welles’ “Change Is In The Air,” Molly Tuttle’s “Everything Burns,” and finishes strong with Amanda Foust’s “Ridgeline Blues,” Pacifica’s “In Your Face,” and G Wizzz’s “Vio.”
