KCRW Broadcast 38
I think this may be a first for our us. Seeing that I am out on the road at the moment, I had an idea do the show from the busy streets of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I sent Engineer X a letter about the idea and he said I should go for it. So, I came up with a show, made my list and went outside with my digital recorder. I sent the music and the voice stuff back to Engineer X via Yousendit.com and it came through intact...

I think this may be a first for our us. Seeing that I am out on the road at the moment, I had an idea do the show from the busy streets of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I sent Engineer X a letter about the idea and he said I should go for it. So, I came up with a show, made my list and went outside with my digital recorder. I sent the music and the voice stuff back to Engineer X via Yousendit.com and it came through intact. In an effort to make the show special, besides the crazy sounding audio, I have included two tracks that you might find interesting. One is from a record stall that I went into and bought a stack of CDRs, this would be track 07. I don't know who Aneka Palaran is and it's almost impossible to find information on her that I can read but the track sounds good and so I threw it into our mix. Or second to last track for the evening is the evening prayer that I recorded outside of a mosque across from the hotel I was living in. The last track was added by Engineer X. It features the mighty William Parker on bass, so you know it's going to be great.
I will be making another recording like this from the next location, hopefully, I will be able to score some local music. I am still buzzing about being able to walk into record stores in Riyadh and buy Omar Souleyman CD's for a few bucks. I have been listening to them over the last few days, they sound really cool. Perhaps I'll throw on one of those tracks in early December, if I can pull off another one of these on-the-street recordings. I told Mr. Bentley we were going to do this days ago and so far, I have not heard back from him, I guess he's busy with Morning Becomes Eclectic, whatever.
I promise you, Fanatics, I will do my level best to hit the record stalls in all the places I am going and drag out the bestest sounds I can and get them to you for your evaluation and hopeful enjoyment!
Thanks to Engineer X for corralling all this craziness into a semblance of order.
I hope you enjoyed Shepard guest hosting the show last week.
Tonight's show is going to be a little noisy so prepare and STAY FANATIC!!!

Live on KCRW
Live on KCRW is KCRW’s performance series featuring artists recorded live at our Santa Monica studios. From emerging acts to established voices, the series offers artists a space to present their music in an intimate setting that puts the focus on performance, sound, and personality.
Morning Becomes Eclectic
KCRW’s signature music program and the heart of its eclectic sound, Morning Becomes Eclectic brings together new discoveries, timeless recordings, live performances, and conversations with artists shaping music today. Hosted by Novena Carmel, the show moves freely across genres, eras, and borders with curiosity as its compass, creating unexpected connections between the familiar and the unknown. For nearly five decades, MBE has made discovery part of the daily ritual while keeping its ears firmly tuned to what comes next. Tune in on weekdays from 9am to noon.
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.
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.
