The electro-soul, dancehall-loving Toronto duo of Bonjay - Alanna Stuart and Ian Swain -  are making their second trip to SXSW this week, this time supporting their six-track EP Broughtupsy which is available now. Recently Alanna and Ian dropped by The Alternate Side's Studio A to talk with Alisa Ali and play a few songs, including "Stumble" which you can check out after the jump.

Texas electronic artist Spencer Stephenson has drummed for Sleep Whale, performed alone as Abacus and now works solo under the moniker Botany, dipping gently into the chillwave movement, but giving it his own sample-heavy spin. Earlier this month he released his debut EP Feeling Today on Western Vinyl. But as Stephenson told The Alternate Side's Alisa Ali, the five-track sampler is just a taste of what Stephenson has planned for his first album.

The Alternate Side's Alisa Ali has been thinking about her CMJ Music Marathon experience over the past week and reports back on the highs (Suuns), lows (missing Massive Attack), earaches (Dirty Projectors) and ecstasy (Sherlock's Daughter) of this year's festival madness.
