Wednesday (Mercredi) July (Juillet) 8, 2026
Coffee with Zack ☕🎧
What's up, everybody! It's Wednesday (Mercredi), July 8 (Juillet), 2026 — and today we celebrate the world of Music. Grand mix of new releases, legendary catalogs, gear news, and culture drops from around the globe, all curated for you in true Coffee with Zack fashion. Restez avec nous — plenty more World Cup coverage coming this week too.
More DJ podcast episodes than any DJ around the globe — 13+ channels and counting on lefrenzy.co. Still waiting on that DJ Mag nod (an insult, honestly), so please like, follow, and share with fellow fans. Every stream helps me get closer to finally buying my first car after 25 years of work — the last 8 of them without a salary. 🙏🚗
