KEXP's weekly guest DJ mix show is a multi-genre program featuring eclectic sets by a rotating cast of local, national, and international DJs and artists. Every late Sunday night at midnight, a guest DJ outside of KEXP's on-air talent will take you on an hour-long journey through their record collection to showcase their unique sonic vision of a Midnight In A Perfect World.
Check out the archives of previous exclusive mixes here, and check out the upcoming schedule below:
Negative Shawdy is an Arkansas-based artist who has quickly emerged with a distinctive high-energy sound that confidently blends hip-hop, R&B, hyperpop, and club-primed electronic styles. Her music is deeply influenced by her journey navigating her sexual orientation and it's enriched by the musical legacy of her family, including her cousin Janelle Monáe and her late aunt Christina Veronica of Secret Ties. Her debut full-length album Dancing With the Lights Out is a collaboration with Baltimore-based producer Otto Moss and it's slated to be released on November 8th.
Haich Ber Na is an emerging London-based artist who aims to create music that speaks to listeners on both a macro and micro level, saving a special place in his heart for the overlooked dreamers. Hailing from the working-class suburbs of Peterborough, an often overlooked city named “the most depressing city in the UK," his empowering style is on full display on his recent debut album The Everyday, a cinematic, expansive, alternative R&B-pop record that balances sleek production with his expressive vocals and heartfelt lyricism.
Molina is the alias of Danish-Chilean producer and composer Rebecca Maria Stougaard Molina. This past October she released her debut album When you wake up on beloved Danish label Escho Records. An album long in the works, it's a record full of songs "focused on the accidental and immediate" that yields an absorbing and intimate listening experience. The album arrives in the midst of Molina touring extensively playing alongside her close friend and creative collaborator ML Buch, which included a stop at KEXP for a live session this past July.
DJ Zen is a Seattle-based event curator, creative, and in-demand DJ who's the co-founder of Colours Global, SeeYouOutside, and UpTempo. Her versatile style has been heavily influenced by her culture and growing up in the melting pot that is NYC, allowing her to jump across a wide range of genres — hip-hop, R&B, soul, dancehall, Afrobeats, UKG, jungle, drum & bass, and more — with ease.
