The Yussef Dayes Experience
On the show this time, it’s the contemporary jazz and black classical music of Yussef Dayes.
Drummer and composer Yussef Dayes makes music that embraces tradition, but then puts on a brand new shirt and walks out into the city, ready for anything. He’s a band leader - having put together a group of monster players to bring this music into existence. The Lewisham native has been in the midst of the current London community ever since he and his brothers were in a band together. “United Vibrations” was jamming at the house on weekends, busking in the streets, and later putting on shows - including the infamous nights called “12 Tone.” His debut solo album “Black Classical Music” is available through Brownswood Recordings and Nonesuch Records.
Recorded 11/27/23.

Heartworms
On the show this time, it’s the immaculately tailored imagery of Heartworms.
Heartworms is the band project of London singer-songwriter Jojo Orme. She named it after one of her favorite bands - the Shins - 2017 album of the same name. The sound is threatening, dark, gothic even. Her lyrics walk a tightrope, beautifully balanced betwixt concrete imagery and abstract entendre. And she’s got a voice worthy of the poetry, dynamically moving from breathy whisper, to truly alarming shout. Her EP 'A Comforting Notion' is available on Speedy Wunderground Records.
Recorded 03/18/2024.

BALTHVS
On the show this time, it’s the Colombian psychedelic funk of BALTHVS.
BALTHVS is a psych-funk power-trio from Colombia. They can play surfy classics and straight ahead Cumbia, but they excel at trippy groovy psych-rock that references the sounds of the middle east, especially Turkish music. Oh - and you can definitely dance to it.
Their 4th album and latest release is called 'Harvest' and it is available on Mixto Records.

Customer Reviews
#1 Radio Station
If you hear someone gripe about there not being any good music on the radio, point them to KEXP. That will cure them.
Kexp 4 life
I just wished we had a radio station like this one in my hometown....thks a lot for all the great discovery !!! Fan from Montreal Canada ... Love you guys
Range
Kexp hits the mark for all people, and sometimes, the manage to do this all at once! Speaking for all people is a tall order but I was ordained as bishop of the 5th burrow back alleys.
I can only speak for myself and even though my musical tastes are vast these guys test the limits of my knowledge and range. They have allot of global artists and this is challenging for artist and audience.
Also they dont just play pop so if your looking for pop hits and strictly NAmerican music this has allot for you but is more about exploring the musical experience of life
