Richmond gets it. More than any other city in Virginia. That’s why we created Weekend Frequency, a reader-curated playlist built for the city, by the city. Each week, a different voice from Richmond’s creative community shares the sounds that move them, shaping the soundtrack of our weekends together.
This week’s playlist comes from Warren Jones, part of the team behind the upcoming Southern Gothic Festival, a member of local experimental duo Prison Religion, and co-founder of the Black Ether label. Jones has been instrumental in bringing boundary-pushing sounds to Richmond and beyond, and his curation reflects that same vision.
“This playlist isn’t tied to any one form, just good music and diverse energy,” Jones says. “The artists featured here have made their mark by putting sound, production, and artistry first. It offers a glimpse of the catharsis that awaits at the Southern Gothic Festival.”

Weekend Frequency is part revival, part continuation of our long-running RVA Mag Weekend Playlists which started before the world flipped upside down. Dig into the full archive here.
