KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

DRAMA taps Flight Facilities for an assist with their latest gentle-groover, “Dollar $hort.” An extremely cursory Google tells us that this is only the second time that the Aussie nu-disco heartthrobs have collaborated with the Chicago (power)house duo. Give “Dollar $hort” a spin in this edition of MBE, and we’re certain you’ll agree that they should team up more often. And the movement doesn’t stop there, we’re igniting the floor further with Salto Palante’s “La Jungla,” remixed Mac Miller, and Prince. Plus, a cool down with the minimalist jazz stylings of Tommaso Cappellato.
