We turn up the volume this Wednesday on our Spring Drive and bump future punk rock sounds from Santigold on her new single “High Priestess,” out today. The lyrics are a call to your own power, fortitude, and wisdom.

We also hear from El Michels Affair, a new one-off single featuring the gorgeous vocals of Piya Malik of Say She She, who have a highly-anticipated show this Thursday at The Lodge Room! Our very own Novena Carmel will be on hand on the decks, alongside the disco punch of JJ & the Mood Grab your tickets on kcrw.com/events, then head to kcrw.com/give to unlock the hottest live happening in town.

And speaking of hot tickets, if you’ve been dancing, prancing, grooving, and getting down with us – for months, years, or just as of late – we’re having a party and we want you there! Donate today and you’ll receive an *exclusive invitation* to our members-only “MBWe” virtual dance party — and we promise it won’t be your mama’s typical glitchy Zoom affair. We’ve got cool sounds, visuals, and plenty of surprises to complete this special celebration. Think Soul Train with a sexy digital twist.

There’s a limited guest list for this event, but as an MBE listener, the invite is all yours if you donate now. The extra sweet cherry on top? Every dollar you give today will be doubled, thanks to The Hillenburg Family.
