DJs

Musical Fruit / DJ Goodwoman

Musical Fruit / DJ Goodwoman

Musical Fruit is an effervescent morning show, airing Thursdays from 9:30-11am that affirms non-linear, zoot-suit states of mind. DJ Goodwoman plays jump blues, rhythm and soul, chanson, exotica, swing, indie folk (old and new), stirring tunes from whatever genre, and rock ‘n’ roll in all its iterations. Your intrepid host also promises tarot readings, saxophone spotlights, cuts from the weird and wild vault, oddball and/or worldly insights, and interactive toe-dips into the realm of pure imagination. 

DJ Goodwoman moved to Port Townsend right before the pandemic. She was born in the general vicinity, left for quite awhile, and then felt called to return – to live by the sea, with the trees, in the wind. She’s wanted to be a DJ since she was 9 years old. Dreams do come true! Email DJ Goodwoman

Radio Kilombo / David Bonobo & DJ Brazil Nut

Radio Kilombo, airing weekly on Thursdays from 9-10pm, curates the Earth’s finest collection of seductive African and Afro-Latin grooves. The selections are three parts club culture, one part roots culture, and all parts positive. From Global Bass to Afro-Latin Folkloric to Rare Groove, join us for our weekly convocation, hear the story of the rhythms, and let the music stir your soul!

In 2001, David Bonobo created the program ¡SouLbRosO! for KillRadio.org, an L.A.-based internet radio collective. In 2010, he launched the now defunct Radio Machete podcast network. It included his own program, El Ritmo Subversivo, which he brought to KPTZ 91.9 FM in Port Townsend, WA in 2018. In 2021, it was re-branded as Radio Kilombo with new co-host Thais Oliviera. DJ BoNobO has played for club and festival audiences across Mexico, Cuba, California, and Washington state. As a music journalist, he has interviewed Lila Downs, Rocky Dawuni, Sidestepper, Sandra Izadore, Jeremy Sole, Celso Piña, Antibalas, and more.

Thais Oliveira hails from Sao Paolo, Brazil’s largest city. Her father was a Jazz musician, and she has absorbed much of his musical knowledge through osmosis. After working as a journalist in Sao Paolo for several years, she set out to see the world. While traveling, she met her husband in Alaska before going on to visit Europe, Mexico, and Cuba. She has long held a deep fascination with African culture within her native Brazil, and she considers herself to be a student of that and other forms of African rooted culture across the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. Thais brings a wealth of experience and first hand knowledge of Brazilian music with her as she embarks on this new adventure as co-host of Radio Kilombo.

Interstellar Underwear/DJ Mars

On Mondays from 3-4pm, enjoy an exhilarating trip around the rock ’n’ roll universe. Interstellar Underwear is the cheeky name of the weekly radio program hosted by DJ Mars. You’ll hear classic, garage, punk, new wave and psychedelic rock from the 1960s until now, mixed with rock outliers like reggae/dub, doo wop, and whatever else he finds floatin’ around in space. And if you’re into killer cover versions, he’s “Got Ya Covered” with his weekly exploration of this far-out corner of the galaxy. It all makes for a unique journey worth taking – and if you listen a few times you might even be able to say Interstellar Underwear without wincing!

DJ Mars is known to his relatives and friends alternately as Mars, Marsh, or Marshall; he’s originally from California but has lived the majority of his life here in the Evergreen State. Marshall has DJ’ed at KCMU Seattle (the pre-KEXP college radio station) and at KJET Seattle. Mars plays guitar and bass, and enjoys writing and graphic design. Email DJ Mars.
