Chris Douridas, filling in for Novena Carmel. On today's show we play an eclectic mix of rainy day songs for the strongest storm of the season and also share the live radio debut performance from New Jersey's latest breakout star, 54 Ultra.
KCRW’s Resident DJ is a sonic laboratory where artists are invited to reinvent, reimagine, and lean into their most eclectic, creative impulses. Resident DJ airs every Thursday night/Friday morning from midnight to 1 a.m. PT, and can be streamed anytime on the KCRW app. Just in time for Pride Month, Hercules & Love Affair will be our Resident DJ for June 2026.
