Title:  The Okie Indie Music Hub's Quarterly Music Sampler (BandCamp)

Artist:  Various Artists (Facebook)

The first Okie Indie Music Hub sampler includes a wide variety of artists from the Oklahoma music scene.  The compilation opens with Johnny Badseed and the Rotten Apples' alt country "Thought You Noticed."  Up next is hip hop artist Alan Doyle with "Never in My Wildest Dreams" followed by electronic artist Maria Fantasma with "Human Hearts."  Joe Sixpack & The Americans is up next with the hip hop/electronic “Supah Hyptendo.”  Sticky Stranglets’ own brand of alternative rock is next with “Topsy Turvy World” followed by the hip hop of R.I.S.K. on Da Disk with “Harvest Season.”  Ira Burton adds a dark and moody element to the collection with “Pick Up the Sweettalk.”  The dark mood continues with Cubby’s “Don’t Run From Me” and Mikael Olof Jünderwater’s “With All Due Respect.”  Shani The Star brings a dreamy and trippy with “Timeless Spellspinner” while Movements closes the compilation out with the upbeat “Hey Mister.”
