Get a taste of the local music scene in Cleveland Magazine's freshly updated Cleveland Current playlist, ready in time for the first weekend of the summer.

Here, you'll hear the eclectic, experimental sounds of Me:You, a duo from Mourning [A] BLKstar bandmates LaToya Kent and R.A. Washington — and you'll also rock out to Heart Attack Man's latest album Freak of Nature and The Sonder Bombs' new single "waste."

You'll also get a taste of The Monday Program's new mixtape West$ide Market 2, and Uniity's fiery new single "IMadeYou" — along with a sprawling jazz single from Dan Wilson and an upbeat indie-world tune from Sororii.

Also, a bit of Smoke Screen's final album that was created in Cleveland, before the duo relocated to Los Angeles, and get a taste of Cleveland native Dame Drummer's soundtrack to his documentary Black Daddy.

Check out our playlist below, and be sure to follow Cleveland Magazine on Spotify while you’re at it.
