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.

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.
