Weekly Dose Volume 2 with Alex Nikas and DSCO

jayko-weeklydose2

Techibeats head writer Alex Nikas and artist DSCO bring us our Weekly Dose of musical medicine. This week’s dose includes a smorgasbord of tracks with a touch of everything. I got to say that I am extremely stoked to peak into the minds of these two. I love both of their music tastes and I am sure you all will too. Most doctors won’t prescribe you with such a high potency dosage, but I am not like most doctors and I almost 100% positive that you won’t overdose on medicine like this, but don’t quote me on that.
