The Weekly Address — one prompt, many sets, many listeners

The Address ← Order of Proceedings

Each week a guest DJ takes the podium and delivers the Address: a prompt that describes a night of music without naming a single artist or track. It is the same words for everyone.

Every listener then runs the Address through the studio, and the studio plays out a different set for each of them. No two people hear the same night. That difference is the point. File your set below, hear the others, and remark on what the room made of the same words.

How to Answer

1.Copy the Address and paste it into the studio, exactly as written. Don't add artists or tracks. Everyone starts from the same words, or the comparison means nothing.
2.Save what the studio gives you as a playlist, and make the playlist public. A private playlist can't be played on this page.
3.In Spotify, choose Share → Copy link to playlist and file it below. Add a line about what your set did with the Address if you like.
