Jungle’s Volcano is number one for the third week in a row, but Toro y Moi’s surprise drop of new EP Sandhills takes second place in a photo finish. Ready for an educated guess about next week’s chart? Expect to see a new top spin-grabber.
New and notable: London-based sweet-soul craftsman Jalen Ngonda hit Press Play last week, and KCRW DJs took note. Come Around and Love Me, his debut LP for Daptone Records, is charting comfortably in the top 20 ahead of its Sept. 8 release date. And in the spirit of only shouting out stuff that’ll make you feel great, don’t sleep on Rozi Plain’s Help (Remixes), and the latest from whimsical NYC producer CARRTOONS in advance of his eagerly anticipated LP SATURDAY NIGHT (due Oct. 6). Get down to those happy sounds with our Top 30 Spotify playlist.
