The date is August eighth (8/8), so you know we’re celebrating the prolific 808 drum machine! This device transformed music production in the ‘80s, and today can be instantly recognized in everything from underground beats to mainstream hits. Click play immediately for the instrumental version of Snoop’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and stick around to listen out for that very special kick drum sound throughout the show. Cool points await you for your efforts.
Lean into the unexpected with us via “Bone Marrow Stem Cell'' from Berlin-based duo EASTER, comprised of writer Stix Omar and producer Maximilian Boss. Equal parts intriguing and terrifying.
Plus, Miami based, Caracas born MJ Nebreda is back with dance floor ready, genre-blending Latin-infused sounds off of her recently released EP “Sin Pensar.” We’re excited about this young artist on the rise, who you may recognize from Ambar Lucid's MBE visit last month.
Ready to get this week officially started? You’ve come to the right place.
John Tejada maps electronic music across time, connecting the underground’s history with the sounds shaping its future. Deep cuts and new releases move through techno, electro, house, ambient, and other corners of electronic music, with each selection building naturally into the next. The show is as much about flow as discovery, tracing the ideas, rhythms, and innovations that continue to push electronic music forward. 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.
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.
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.
