The first KCRW Top 30 winning streak of the year is on. For the third week in a row, Helado Negro's PHASOR proves unbeatable when it comes to station-wide airplay. Is there anything that can break this spell? Further spins of Khruangbin's latest single ("May Ninth") ahead of new LP A LA SALA, perhaps? Steadily increased appreciation for IDLES full-throated punk rock anthems (and commentary around their inspired music videos)? Or will it be something entirely new? Watch this space.

New and notable: LA-based composer Avila Santo leads with percussion and hip-hop production techniques to bring us the hypnotic (and totally addictive) single "Space + Time."
