Morning Becomes Eclectic

Global Beat: Mexico serves red-hot sounds, your chance at tickets to check out Thee Sacred Souls, and Morning Becomes Rave as we dance hard to weird bangers.
Get ready to dance, because Morning’s Becoming a Rave thanks to some seriously unexpected bangers. Stockholm-based artist Stella Explorer channels Patti Smith into her electronic compositions… and it works!? Along those lines, “Who Me?” from Glaswegian-duo LAPS (Ladies as Pimps) is pop meets hip-hop with an experimental flair.
Next is our weekly trip down south for Global Beat: Mexico, and this one’s extra fun. NPR’s Betto Arcos — fresh from his recent sojourn to the Mexican megaevent Festival Cervantino — spins delightfully genre-bending tracks rife with cross-cultural influences. P.S. Tickets are going fast for our very first Global Beat: Live! Featuring Sgt. Papers, Parque de Cometas and Marion Raw — it’s all happening at the Paramount Theater TONIGHT, and it will be epic. Grab your spot now.
And we have the perfect way to get you into your weekend groove early — entering you into the mix for FREE tickets to check out California's sweet soul pioneers, Thee Sacred Souls. They’re bringing that magic touch to Garibaldina Hall on Friday, Dec. 9, and we have five pairs of tickets to give away. Enter here, and good luck!

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.
