Jamie xx’s In Waves maintains a solid lead, but the Friday Sept. 27 release of Dance, No One’s Watching by UK jazz ensemble Ezra Collective has clearly captured the collective attention of KCRW’s DJs.  

New and notable: Speaking of last week’s impactful album drops — influential, avant-electro-pop producer SOPHIE’s posthumous, self-titled LP has officially cracked the top 20 of KCRW’s Top 30 albums chart.
