Robin Danar

Los Angeles is always critiqued as a place with no sense of community. The sprawling nature of the place can make it feel difficult to connect. But there is a community and it's linked by a public radio station in Santa Monica, KCRW. The station's music programming is freeform and that means a wide variety of artists get airplay and heard by an audience equally as diverse, but all sharing one thing: A passion for discovery. What Robin has done is tap into this community by bringing together an array of artists heard on KCRW and asking them to try things that perhaps they wouldn't ordinarily attempt, to record with fellow musicians they most likely wouldn't have considered working with. In short connecting the threads that permeate the airwaves of Los Angeles and creating something fresh and reflective of the moment.
