I created a mix for commuters for KCRW & Metro Art LA. You may be seeing my face in buses and trains across the city. If you do, send me picture. This is part of a months long collaboration between KCRW and Metro Art LA where various KCRW DJs create a variety of mixes for commuters. Mine is all inspired on ambient music and in there you will find many of my friends and people whose work I love. The series started with Novena last month and will continue with SiLVA and Wyldeflower. I hope you like it. You can find the mixes at kcrw.com/soundtrips

Next up: @cafe__ale (Ale Cohen), director of KCRW’s music program. Charge up your earbuds and tune into a moment of calm amidst LA’s motion with a blend of ambient, experimental and modern classical sounds. Featuring LA artists alongside pioneers like Alice Coltrane and William Basinski, the playlist invites riders to slow down, tune in and find meaning in the ride itself. Tap in, hit play and go Metro.
