LP Giobbi: KCRW Guest DJ Set
Ahead of releasing her sophomore album “Dotr” and headlining the Fonda, DJ/pianist LP Giobbi shares sweet song selects and some seriously inspirational words.
Ahead of releasing her sophomore album “Dotr” and headlining the Fonda, DJ/pianist LP Giobbi shares sweet song selects and some seriously inspirational words.
Are you ready to feel inspired… really inspired? Assuming the answer is yes, we suggest you immediately connect with this guest selector set from Leah Chisholm, known professionally as LP Giobbi. She’s a classically trained jazz pianist, highly skilled dance music producer, AND the leader of both Femme House — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that advocates for gender inclusion and equity in the electronic world — and Yes Yes Yes — a pantheistic record label. She’s also the daughter of a long time public radio employee and a legacy Deadhead by way of both of her parents. These parents, who she refers to as her “favorite people,” inadvertently gave her the title for her forthcoming album Dotr (due Oct. 18 via Counter Records). The name refers to how she used to sign her notes of affection to the ‘rents, with dotr being how a young Chisholm assumed the word daughter was spelled. As a perpetually touring DJ and live performer, Chisholm created Dotr as “an attempt to capture some semblance of home while in motion.” Everything that we’ve heard from the record so far achieves this — especially the collabs with a few of Chisholm’s own favorite artists including Portugal. The Man and Alabama Shakes.
Her KCRW guest DJ set serves as a Grateful Dead starter pack, with one classic track and Chisholm’s own remix of Dead frontman Jerry Garcia’s “Deal.” Plus, a prime example of “Femme House” in action and a rising dance music artist that you simply must hear. Scroll on to peep the tracks, but be sure to listen to the full chat if you want to feel really (*really) good about the future of humanity.
And you can keep those good feelings flowing by entering to win a pair of tickets to catch LP Giobbi working her piano-based house music magic live at the Fonda Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 16.

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.
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.
Henry Rollins
A mix of all kinds, from all over and all time. Henry Rollins treats the radio as a place for serious musical exploration, bringing punk, experimental music, jazz, global sounds, independent releases, archival discoveries, and whatever else demands to be heard into the same restless orbit. The selections can travel across decades and continents in minutes, driven less by genre than an insatiable appetite for records and discovery. It’s radio for listeners willing to follow the music wherever it goes. Tune in Mondays from 10pm to midnight and Fridays 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.
