Good reception at 17:44 into Masset, BC playing Airwaves, by GusGus
So, is this a N American or Europirate?
Answered my own question.  At 17:51, they ID'd as broadcasting from North America
Watching my waterfall, they all of a sudden started dropping frequency down to 21695.  Playing One Love at 17:56 UTC.

Fair to good into Masset at 01:51 UTC tune-in.
AHA clearly made a mistake IDing, judging from others!  Shazam wouldn't produce an ID  (Sorry, not my cup of tea).   Heard best on my 220 deg KAZ antenna, but easily heard on all my various antennas in Masset.  Rather thin audio, unfortunately.
Transmitter off at 01:56:20.  Some faint CW afterwards, but unclear whether the same op. 
Back again a few minutes later (01:59)

I think there are 2 stations cochannel.  The rap station went off again at 02:08, revealing a weaker station underneath!
Der Weg Zu Zweit Grauzone    So, perhaps a Europirate?

The Corbett Report is back with wacko right wing stuff about global warming and climate change.  I think I preferred the piano music.  S9+20 into Masset.
