KXLU Playlist 2/2/12
It was great to sit in on Levitation Radio again at KXLU 88.9 FM Los Angeles. The program’s DJ graciously offers up part of her own airtime as a platform for DHR to present and share some the music we feature here on the net. It provides an additional channel to help expand our reach through the broadcast medium, and we always get bitchin’ feedback from the station’s listeners.
This time, we were particularly focused on spinning some of the newest [...]
DHR guest DJs on KXLU 2/2/12
Dirty Hippie Radio is guest DJ-ing tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 2 from noon-3 on KXLU’s Levitation Radio.
The program spins a seamless blend of new and old garage, psych, rock, and whatever penchants the DJ happens to be entertaining from week to week. Could be a bit of funk, a lot of soul, a dash of Latin garage, or a kiss of French psych. Always, the selection keeps listeners in tune with today’s beat, while reminding and unearthing what led up to [...]
DHR Guests on KXLU Halloween Special!
For the 2nd year in a row, DHR was invited to guest-DJ on KXLU 88.9 FM’s Levitation Radio for a spooky, kooky, sexy Halloween special broadcast.

Arthur Brown – prelude/nightmare
“Children of the night…” (Dracula w/ Bela Lugosi)
Pizza! – husky open-toed camel
Tijuana Panthers – creature
The Purple Gang – the wizard
Sam Gopal – season [...]
DHR on KXLU – Playlist 4/7/11, Dirty Jeff’s Psychotropic Sounds
Well, DJ Jen decided to take a vacation. A much deserved vacation. So while she was out gallivanting the city nights while dodging sexy city men under heavy moonlight, Dirty Jeff got to sit in her chair, fill her shoes, and taste the sweet life from the captain’s seat on her show at KXLU (88.9FM Los Angeles).
The dynamo force that is DJ Jenny Gee of KXLU and Dirty Jeff of DHR is nearly overbearing. The sheer incredulity of the mind-blowing [...]
Grand Elegance visits The Prospector
One of the best, most talented, and enigmatic bands to come out of the LA-Long Beach scene made a grand appearance at The Prospector on Thursday night, Nov 4. Amidst life’s incessant hectic dance, a Grand Elegance performance has at times become far and few between. Some get married, some have kids, others moonlight in 3 additional bands, and most still slave away in the workforce. It ain’t easy, and it ain’t always fun. But we hope we can always [...]

It truly was a joy to be in the KXLU studio on LMU campus. And what a fantastic opportunity to play, [...]
Silver Lake Jubilee Festival
We want kids to be talking about DHR so much that parents think it must be the latest drug fad. We want our station to make the party like the rug that really ties the room together. We’ll see you at the festival if you’re there, and when we do we’ll give you a cool sticker and a high-five.
