"Discover new music". In all we do, KEXP seeks to fulfill that mission and share with you the best new music we can find. But it's a big world! We're fortunate to have many resources at our fingertips, and a lot of great artists come directly to us, yet sometimes we rely on fellow curators whose passion for music leads us to new discoveries we might not otherwise find. Trans Musicales de Rennes, or Les Trans, shares a similar vision. Created in 1979, this winter-time festival held in Rennes, France, has made a name for itself in featuring artists just before they break and seeking new talent from around the world. Next week, Trans Musicales will host the KEXP video crew and DJ Morgan, bringing us to capture exclusive live sessions around the festival.
Check out a few artists we're eager to record, below, and look for updates next week on KEXP's Facebook page and blog, and video later on KEXP's YouTube channel.
