5 Songs To Hear This Week: April 16th 2026

New msic from Robyn and Kelsey Lu.

RESIDENT DJ 028: SRZ

Soledad Rodríguez Zubieta, also known as SRZ, is a music curator, radio selector and DJ based in Buenos Aires. For over two decades, she has been doing what she cares about most: sharing music across different platforms, from her work on leading radio stations in Argentina, where she developed author driven shows, to her current work as a DJ and curator in international contexts. Her selections move across decades, genres and geographies, bringing together overlooked classics and new discoveries, with a strong focus on unexpected connections between them. With a background in psychology, her approach to music is rooted in emotional perception, exploring how sound shapes memory, atmosphere and experience.

SRZ joins KCRW as our Resident DJ for April 2026. This is her third mix in the series.
