Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

S5 with the PY2-81502 KiwiSDR in Brazil. Distorted, off frequency, and the carrier is unstable. Not heard at 2023 UTC, ON by 2025 UTC. QRM from Peskies. Seems to be the station heard in North America last night.

2025 UTC-Unknown instrumental music with piano, distorted
2057 UTC-Piano music still going
2139 UTC-Still going
2207 UTC-Now on 6950 kHz but modulation is even worse
2215 UTC-Now heard on the K3FEF KiwiSDR
2334 UTC-GONE

Not DSB, poor Amplitude Modulation. When somebody can find the frequency were SSB sounds good for this station (DSB is compatible with SSB) please let me know.

2110 Very good signal on the  Pardinho, SP - Brazil KiwiSDR.  I see the same carrier offset as the transmission last night, so probably the same station.
2130 Carrier direct here in the USA. Perhaps a tiny bit of audio?
2152 Off - The signal was an easy SIO 333 or perhaps even better
2155 Possibly QSY'd to 6950 in DSB mode?
2157 Yes, same music over and over. They QSY'd. They are off frequency which does not help.

2147 UTC Solid audio now, at least as strong as the peaks last night! Same somber piano musical composition. S5 and the audio sounds good here.
2153 UTC OFF...seems to have QSY'd to 6950...DSB? I can't fine tune it now

Here's my recording of direct reception from 2147-2153 UTC:
