KCRW’s latest guest DJ Remi Wolf is now the reigning queen of KCRW’s Top 30 Chart. This should come as no surprise as the idiosyncratic pop star’s sophomore LP Big Ideas runs the eclectic gamut: Brass band-fueled disco, slow jams, power ballad prowess, and a whole lot more await when you cue it up. So what are you waiting for? Dig into the Spotify playlist at the bottom of this page for a sample and set aside some time to give the full record your undivided attention.

New and notable: Quite the plethora to explore this week. LA production duo Classixx are giving us their take on Nation of Language’s “Weak In Your Light” which can best be described as NOL’s signature angular romanticism, filtered through a sheer black and glittery disco veil. UK soul crooner Michael Kiwanuka has finally shared his first new music since 2021, the very onomatopoetic “Floating Parade.” Plus, further musical shenanigans from our favorite mysterious neo-soul group, Sault.
