Downtempo-electro pioneers Kruder & Dorfmeister hit the decks at KCRW HQ to preview their 30th anniversary tour: An Evening With Kruder & Dorfmeister.
Austrian DJ/production duo Kruder & Dorfmeister are pioneers when it comes to indulging electronic music’s chiller impulses. Since their early ‘90s origins, they’ve gravitated to downtempo melodics and Boom Bap beats. They’re also a major staple of KCRW playlists spanning years and departments. Dig The Treatment’s theme song? That’s “Chocolate Elvis” by Tosca, a Richard Dorfmeister side project from the K&D extended universe.

Now celebrating 30 years together as a musical team, Kruder & Dorfmeister commandeer the decks at KCRW HQ to deliver a top secret mix of highlights from their illustrious career. The duo also dish with Novena and Anthony about nearly getting stuck in Black Rock City following the torrential downpours they experienced during their first trip to Burning Man. Plus, they share how early techno inspired their genre-departing sounds, and they share the secret to their lasting partnership: “Money.” Just kidding, it’s their unbridled enthusiasm for music discovery that keeps the tunes and the DJ sets flowing.

Peanut Butter Wolf
Peanut Butter Wolf goes deep into a lifetime of collecting, pulling from more than 50,000 records alongside a digital archive packed with unreleased music and overlooked discoveries. The founder of Stones Throw Records favors the underdog, moving through hip-hop, funk, soul, electronic music, oddball records, rarities, and sounds that resist easy categorization. Inspired by generations of adventurous DJs and selectors, the show treats digging as an art form and the unexpected find as the ultimate reward. Tune in every third Sunday of the month from 8 to 10pm.
Henry Rollins
A mix of all kinds, from all over and all time. Henry Rollins treats the radio as a place for serious musical exploration, bringing punk, experimental music, jazz, global sounds, independent releases, archival discoveries, and whatever else demands to be heard into the same restless orbit. The selections can travel across decades and continents in minutes, driven less by genre than an insatiable appetite for records and discovery. It’s radio for listeners willing to follow the music wherever it goes. Tune in Mondays from 10pm to midnight and Fridays from 8 to 10pm.
SiLVA
A dance-forward mix that moves freely between house, disco, boogie, electronic music, global club sounds, and plenty in between. SiLVA’s sets are built for Saturday night, mixing new tracks, classics, edits, and deep cuts without getting boxed into one genre. The emphasis is on movement, surprise, and keeping the energy alive from one record to the next. Tune in to SiLVA Saturday evenings from 6 to 8pm.
Jason Bentley's Metropolis
Metropolis captures the hypnotic pulse of modern city life through electronic music built for movement, atmosphere, and late-night discovery. Jason Bentley connects current releases with foundational tracks, remixes, underground club sounds, and artists continually reshaping the possibilities of dance music. House, techno, electronic pop, and leftfield productions move together in a fluid weekly journey that reflects both the history and the evolving future of the dance floor. Sophisticated, immersive, and always looking ahead. Tune in to Metropolis Saturday nights from 8 to 10pm.
