Ever wanted to immerse yourself in the beautiful sounds of Indonesian Kroncong music but just couldn't seem to find the time? Desperately wanted to get into 80s Japanese post-punk underground but never knew where to begin?

This mix floats us through the lands of the US, the UK, Indonesia, Japan, Italy, France, Brazil, Burkina Faso, and Mexico. Sit back and listen to the sounds of the mellow people of the world. This playlist is adapted from episode 8 of Lost and Sound, which aired live on March 4, 2015 on UCLA Radio. It also features a few audio clips from the original live show.

Glam rockers T. Rex influenced many of the bands that have passed through the studios of KCRW – from Beck to MGMT – and now four of our DJs have remixed four tracks from the band for the T. Rex vs. KCRW Soundclash Remix EP.

All of the songs getting the remix treatment were Top 20 charting singles that came out in the wake of T. Rex’s seminal album The Slider. The EP closes with a cover of “Main Man” from The Slider recorded live in KCRW’s studios by Portugal. The Man.
