DJ Jojo Johanssen welcomes you to another Sonic Rehab Monday with some mid-to-late 90s trance, an amazing Wagner cover, and some great classic John Morales mixes. Also watch for another track from the new Brian Jackson album and a song from Jojo's favorite folk friends, Misner & Smith. Not what you expected? Of course not! Be sure to tune in this Monday, June 22, from 1 to 3  p.m. on KDRT 95.7fm or kdrt.org. If you can't listen live, you still have two weeks to catch this and other shows on kdrt.org.

It's that time again! DJ Jojo takes a break from moving to offer you up two hours of rehabilitating tasty tracks bookended by The Herbaliser! Nestled in between those sensi buns will be some grooves from Nancy Wilson (be sure to tune in to see which Nancy Wilson), Freefall, Parcels (a listener's suggestion!), as well as a pretty fun mini bongo inspired section featuring a Nuyorican Soul remix. Beat the heat with some cool tunes! Coming to you live this Monday, June 15 from 1-3 p.m. Pacific time. No time to listen live? No biggie! You can catch Sonic Rehab and many many others at your leisure up to 2 weeks after broadcast on kdrt.org!

DJ Jojo Johanssen welcomes Sara TAPS from The Awesome Patrol Show to Sonic Rehab as they take one for the team and revisit their high-school days through music and colors! Enjoy music from their formative years as they go back to back, stopping only to ask for your support for KDRT's Spring FUNdraiser! With no plan in place, it's anybody's guess what wonderful (or maybe even sarcastic wonderful) songs will appear.

Jojo's taking a bit of a hard line and will be sure to include songs from Cerrone, Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson, as well as Giorgio Moroder. If you listen to Dr. Deep's show, you know there's bound to be some unexpected, fun, and crazy music from his side of the science picks. Be sure to tune in and check out the science music tribute back-to-back set, only on KDRT 95.7fm and kdrt.org on Monday, May 11, from 12 noon to 1 p.m.!

DJ Jojo Johanssen kicks off the Big Day of Giving in Sonic Rehab fashion with a takeover of the replay spot for That California Sound!

Playing only music from California musicians, watch for tracks from Stan Getz, Sylvester, Jellyfish, Moby Grape, and many more! Tune in live on Thursday, May 7, 7-9 a.m., on KDRT 95.7fm and kdrt.org. 

We rely on your donations to keep things humming at KDRT. When you support our parent nonprofit, Davis Media Access, during BigDoG, your dollars may go even further thanks to matching funds! If you're unable to tune in live, listen in for two weeks via kdrt.org – and donate anytime!  

That's right folks, tune in to Sonic Rehab with DJ Jojo Johanssen on May the Fourth for an EPIC two-song tribute to Star Wars, as well as some house beauts from Blue Six and DJ Gregory plus a track to celebrate Jojo FINALLY reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. There will also be a great prog set to warm things up for a special edition next week.

It should also be mentioned that Jojo may have been a bit indulgent on this one -- 16 tracks over 2 hours! So bring some sonic popcorn, pop those headphones on (or blast those speakers), and get yourself some rehab – some Sonic Rehab! Tune in this Monday, May 4, from 1 to 3 p.m. on KDRT 95.7 FM,  or catch it on demand at KDRT.org. Be there!
