Sound Advice is Bandwidth’s weekly playlist of artists we think you should catch in D.C. this week.

This week’s Sound Advice playlist starts with feedback and ends with a throwback: fuzzy Vancouver band Weed (July 3 at Rock & Roll Hotel) starts us off, and we close with a classic from UGK, the Port Arthur, Texas, duo that launched rapper Bun B (who’s at Echostage July 3) into the upper crust of hip-hop’s Southern underground.

In between, we’re all over the map from Gaithersburg to Nairobi to Hangzhou: MoCo hip-hop star Logic plays a hometown show tomorrow night, and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival (see our photos) wraps this weekend after some must-see performances from Kenyan and Chinese artists including pipa virtuoso Wu Man.

Hear them all in our playlist, below.
