    Jan 13, 2023

    Three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, twenty-one, twenty-four, twenty-seven… thirty!

    Three and thirty are indeed today’s magic numbers as news breaks that beginning on 3/3/23 — a little over 30 years after the release of sampladelic hip-hop icons De La Soul’s groundbreaking debut 3 Feet High and Rising — all six of the pioneering group’s early albums will at long last be on DSPs. And they’re whetting our whistles with the initial offering of their classic, Schoolhouse Rock! riffing single, “The Magic Number.” It’s available for your streaming pleasure now.

    New Music Friday is on deck as well, bringing with it an intriguingly emotive cut from Glasgow-based, minimalist-soulie Josef, and the cathartic electro-ballad “Ellerin Hani?” from the team of innovative producer Kutiman, and vocalist Melike Şahin.

    Plus, we have just the mix to get you pumped for the 2023 Festival SZN ahead. ODESZA, Polo and Pan, Channel Tres, Biig Piig, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs are all bound for CRSSD San Diego. Say now, why not get extra-pumped for the forthcoming festivities by snagging a pair of FREE CRSSD passes right here?

        • 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.

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.
