Summary

DJ Chilly talks about stepping down as co-host of El Sonido, KEXP’s Modern Latin music show that he founded 14 years ago, and shares three tracks that run the gamut from jazz to grindcore to his favorite genre of all time, soul.

Plus, KEXP Associate Music Director Alex Ruder shares a chilled-out track that’s been in his headphones, unintentionally tying together this episode’s theme of “home.”

1. DJ Green Lantern - “Falling For Jazz”"
2. BRAT - “Human Offense”
3. J Noa - “Arrogante”
4. Ohio Players - “Here Today And Gone Tomorrow”
5. ZG - “Feels Like Home”
