You can skip your next few Peloton classes. We’ve got a deep, improvisatory, and motivational as hell Wajatta rave comin’ atcha Live From KCRW’s Annenberg Performance Studio. The duo — comprised of LA techno-house maestro John Tejada and absurdist sonic comedian Reggie Watts — returned in 2023 with the knockout Waiting For The Get Down, but their storied live performances have been few and far between. Get a taste of the goods during this edition of MBE, and immerse yourself in the full goods (complete with video) right here.

the solo venture of Gianluca Buccellati who produced most of Arlo Parks' record Collapsed in Sunbeams. This selection found inspiration in feeling inspired by seventies funk and the likes of Parliament Funkadelic and Led Zeppelin.
