This member-exclusive mix is by no means a definitive history of dance music. It’s simply my own take, with much of the music connected directly or indirectly to Los Angeles. You’ll hear music from some of my favorite LA dance labels, including Adult Contemporary, Sentrall, ESP Institute, Sisters of Sound, and 100% SILK, among others. I’ve always leaned toward the dreamier, more psychedelic side of dance music rather than the straight-up banger, but I hope this makes a good soundtrack for your weeklong exploration of dance music in Los Angeles.

Expect established innovators alongside emerging producers and overlooked gems from decades past. Tune in to John’s show Tuesday and Saturday nights from 10pm to midnight.
