Seven & Seven Is Radio
Seven & Seven Is Radio features psychedelic music of all genres from all over the globe, focusing on the "golden era" of the late 1960's to the mid 1970's. Each episode is selected by Elvin Estela and curated from his personal vinyl collection. This podcast continues in the tradition of Estela's previous psychedelic show - She Comes in Colours which he hosted on Los Angeles college radio station KXLU from 2000-2009 - in unearthing long lost gems from underground heroes and forgotten pop successes.
