SOS Music is an LA-based, female-led label founded by DJ duo of Maddy Maia and Tottie, who pair two distinct sounds under a radically inclusive ethic. Their eponymous record label, with roots across L.A., Europe and the U.K., elevates and champions gender-expansive voices in electronic music.
The duo's ferocious B2B sets (and their striking charisma onstage) have become a word-of-mouth sensation around L.A.’s warehouse scene and well beyond, including performances at the world’s premiere festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Dekmantel Selectors and Somos, and at clubs like NY’s Good Room and SF’s Midway.
Since forming their !K7 imprint SOS Music in 2020, they’ve carried the torch for femme-led experimental club music. Their releases earned instant praise from Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, The Wire, Mixmag, Flaunt, Crack, Juno and Stamp the Wax.
SOS Music joins KCRW as our Resident DJ for May 2026. In their second show, they head to the Americas, showcasing incredible femme and nonbinary electronic artists coming out of Mexico, Brazil, and across South and Central America. Express Set duties are from the Brazilian multimedia artist, producer, DJ, and moviemaker Marta Supernova.
Vintage24 turns the dial back to KCRW’s classic analog days, opening the station’s archives for a continuous journey through decades of adventurous music programming.

Heard in shuffle rotation, Vintage24 moves freely across genres, eras, and scenes, offering longtime listeners a chance to rediscover favorite programs while introducing newer audiences to the depth, history, and eclectic spirit of KCRW’s music archives.
