guest deejay:
RAUL CAMPOS
The voice of pirate radio in the late nineties, Raul Campos has come from the underground to represent the eclectic tendencies of his native Los Angeles on KCRW’s Nocturna. This year, his much anticipated compilation release on Nacional Records, due out in October, showcases the talents and sounds of Latin Alternative’s best. Check the videos link for some of the action at this years’ Latin Alternative Music Conference hosted by Raul.

Following the hectic conference schedule all over Manhattan, Raul jumped on a plane with Cafe Tacuba and they all played at the Hollywood Bowl only a few hours later!

Raul began to rock clubs in the early nineties. Playing mostly comedy clubs and bars across Los Angeles, Raul completed his degree at – and found himself at a crossroads. Laying his urban planning career aside, Raul followed his dream into the world of radio. He established a residency with Power Tools, Power 106FM’s longest running after hours mix show and a mainstay amongst electronic music lovers, banging out ‘megamixes’..

But it was in a basement in Santa Monica that Raul would find a home for his motley musical connoisseur-ism, Southern California’s Number 1 Public Radio Station: KCRW 89.9FM. Before his first year at the station came to an end, Raul stepped up to the mic filling in for primetime shows such as Jason Bentley’s chic Metropolis. Embracing KCRW’s devotion to diversity and freshness in selection while cultivating the interest of listeners, Raul secured a weekly show he christened Nocturna. Weeknights, from 10 to midnight, you can follow Raul’s seductive accent to a place where funky beats, heartbroken guitars, Latin loving and daring melodies live..
