Peanut Butter Wolf: KCRW Guest DJ set

Stones Throw label boss Peanut Butter Wolf drops by with an exclusive first listen of Campus Christy’s “Candles (Feat. Say She She).”
Stones Throw record label boss, DJ, Highland Park entrepreneur, and now singer Chris Manak (aka Peanut Butter Wolf) is here to play Santa with his bag full of previously unheard sonic goodies. With anticipation for Campus Christy — Manak’s new project as vocalist and bandleader alongside multi-instrumentalist Brian Ellis — at a fever pitch around these parts, we had to get him in asap to share some selects.
Get into this one immediately for Campus Christy’s harmony-laden, classic-Motown-girl-group-conjuring “Candles,” featuring the handiwork of the power trio behind KCRW’s number one album of 2023, Say Say She. Plus, Stones Throw’s latest signee Bardo (Chicano Batman) delivers a realist’s twist on a “Love Song,” Silas Short’s buttery vocals make us swoon, and we hear a Chrome Canyon cut so magical that folks have offered PBW hard currency to deliver repeat spins of it during DJ sets.
