Hosted by LUPE, RECENTS is the radio equivalent of a photo dump. A show that emerges out of all the deliberate piles of vinyl on the floor; the converted playlists from multiple streaming libraries; cassettes with no download code; FLACs ripped from the promo CDs; the browser tab groups; favorited tweets of just a YouTube link; the little unmute button on the Instagram slideshow clips; record label mailing lists that keep going to spam; and the new-used arrivals bin at the shop in the middle of nowhere that’s still somehow overpriced. RECENTS is an ode to, and embrace of, the randomness that comes from hoarding all genres and decades of music from every corner of the earth and mixing them together. And leaning into the fact that sometimes out of chaos, sequences form. Do Jan Jelinek and Janet Jackson go together, or were they just next to each other?

On RECENTS, expect to hear anything and everything, new and old, including guest DJ sets & live performances, and sometimes even compiling & discussing music that fits a theme (just to bring some order to it all).

This month DJ Economy joins as a guest.

Hailing from Baltimore and based in Los Angeles for over a decade, Body Tools co-founder DJ Economy moves fluidly between the roles of DJ and producer. His work spans a wide range of styles, anchored by a sharp ear for percussion, jazzy and gritty grooves, and the off-kilter edges of IDM, jungle, trip-hop, and dusty deep house. Behind the decks, he delivers sets that shift form effortlessly while keeping hips locked into the groove. Across five releases on Body Tools, DJ Economy has carved out a sound that feels raw and forward—marked by the jagged textures of analog hardware and a steady nod to the warehouses and open fields that defined rave’s earliest days.
