Composed of Poppy Hankin, Iris McConnell, and Sophie Moss, Girl Ray are a British trio who have explored a psych-tinged indie pop, colorful R&B, and infectious disco-pop over their three distinctive albums for Moshi Moshi records. Their latest album Prestige is the sound of Girl Ray reclaiming disco music as the celebration of sexuality and outsider culture that helped birth the genre.
Girl Ray's exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is an insightful journey through some late-night faves as they share some stellar classic pop songs, slow-motion soul jams, and moody acoustic gems, alongside a pair of their own cuts.
