Immersion (Colin Newman and Malka Spigel) are KCRW's Resident DJs for October 2026.
Immersion are Malka Spigel and Colin Newman, best known for their work with the groundbreaking post-punk bands Minimal Compact and Wire, respectively. The project emerged in the early 1990s and has always prided itself on a diversity in approach and an ability to be both self-contained and a vehicle for collaboration. They've worked with the likes of Tarwater, Laetitia Sadier, Ulrich Schnauss, Scanner, Thor Harris, and more. Their latest album, "What Is Lost Will Return," was released on September 4, 2026. The couple also hosts a weekly radio show called Swimming In Sound, under the guise of which they now serve as KCRW's Resident DJs for October 2026.

J.Rocc
A weekly guided journey through what’s next, what’s overlooked, and what’s timeless.
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.
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.
