    LA stalwarts Gabriels have been in heavy KCRW rotation for years, so it’s about time that they topped the chart. As anticipation for their forthcoming EP “Bloodline” reaches a fever pitch, so too have spins of the title track.

    Gabriels aren’t the only project garnering such feverish devotion. Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars’ Silk Sonic brought some desperately needed party energy, Cleo Sol’s August release “Mother,” makes a welcome resurgence, and London based Los Bitchos make their chart debut. Bring on all of the festivities!
