    This Tuesday on MBE, we welcome Girl Ultra, as she shares song selections and celebrates the release of her new album RRRomeo, which took close to five years to complete. Plus, we give away tickets to her show at the Roxy in February, and dive into new Michael Kiwanuka, and the first Flaming Lips song since signing with Third Man Records.

        • 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.

        • Resident DJ

          Immersion (Colin Newman and Malka Spigel) are our Resident DJs for October 2026.

        • Tyler "Boogie" Boudreaux

          Part wax, part digital, pure heat. Tyler “Boogie” Boudreaux channels KCRW’s eclectic sound through a kaleidoscope of psych, garage rock, soul, funk, and indie sounds. Vintage records collide with new releases, while house, indie dance, post-punk, trip-hop, darkwave, and unexpected detours keep the boundaries loose. The common thread is energy, groove, and discovery, with one hand in the crates and the other firmly planted in what’s happening now. Tune in to Tyler’s show Thursday nights from 8 to 10pm.
