Anthony Valadez: Just Visiting

The DJs here at KCRW are pretty talented people. In addition to hosting the best radio shows heard anywhere, they are also involved in all sorts of creative projects outside of the station, from spinning at LA’s hippest venues to music supervising the latest Hollywood blockbuster. Some of our DJs are even musicians in their own right. Anthony Valadez, who you can hear on-air every Monday night at midnight, has just released his latest album, Just Visiting, and we’re excited to steam a record from a member of the KCRW’s family right here as part of our Album Preview!

Just Visiting

is my latest release on Plug Research and is just one of my huge accomplishments as a producer. It’s the album I have always wanted to record, shifting away from the samplers and machines and moving more into a live feel. I reached out to many of the artists I have been playing on KCRW in regards to lending their talents to the record and many agreed to do so, including Anna Wise of Sonnymoon, Genevieve of Pollyn, Nick Rosen, Def Sound, The Park, Mar, Joya Mooi and Damon Aaron.

Just Visiting will be available to stream on demand from Monday June 25 through July 2, 2012.
