With four weeks in a row at number one, Little Dragon has almost certainly set a KCRW Top 30 Chart record. While the gap between the top and second spots is closing slightly, it’s feeling thrillingly likely that the Swedes will hold their lead for the entire month of July.
New and notable: Hot, hot, hot on Little Dragon’s heels is LA dub-maestro Pachyman with his forthcoming LP Switched-On. Starting from the bottom, but expecting a mighty climb, is Quantic’s fiery second standalone single of ‘23, “Stand Up.” Plus, the weirdo-pop summer jam you didn’t know you were craving via LA stalwarts Allah-Las. Have you met our Top 30 Spotify playlist? We think y’all will get on famously.
