HAAi Remix of Nina Simone + Sensational Seoul Seven Piece Leenalchi + Josh Conway release debut EP and LP's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Everybody’s free to feel good as we get into an early listen of Aussie polymath Jordan Rakei’s latest crisply produced and sonically soaring gem. The Grammy-nominated artist dropped the appropriately titled “Freedom” just this morning and it’s exactly what you need to start your week on a triumphant note.
Plus, downtempo delights via Thievery Corporation founder Eric Hilton’s forthcoming LP Sound Vagabond, and an unreleased treat from Scandinavian soul-stirrers Dina Ögon.
