Jojo Johanssen's blog

It's time to no longer think of Mondays as the start of the work week. Monday is Sonic Rehab Day! DJ Jojo Johanssen has some lovely ones for you this week, and he'll be kicking things off with a wild, crazy, groovy, funky banger from Kid Creole & the Coconuts, as well as music from DOMi & JD Beck, Grace Jones, and Madlib's take on a Blue Note classic. He'll also bring in some more lover's rock, as well as a rap track from the early days of the genre.

Sound amazing and possibly too good to be true? Never fear! Jojo always delivers, so be sure to tune in this Monday from 1 to 3 p.m. on 95.7 fm or KDRT.org. Don't forget that if you can't listen live, you can still catch past shows up to 2 weeks after broadcast on KDRT.org! Don't miss it!

Tune in on Monday, April 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. for some more Sonic Rehab with DJ Jojo Johanssen!

He'll also be throwing down some tunes from a newly discovered sub-genre... Lover's Rock!! Still need a reason to tune in? Really? OK! Also look for a track he first heard in a grocery store! Don't miss the groove! Tune in on 95.7 fm or on KDRT.org. Can't listen live? That's OK! You can still stream past episodes on KDRT.org!

It's DJ Jojo Johanssen's birthday this upcoming week, and what better way to celebrate on Sonic Rehab than to play only his favorite songs!

Music of all shapes, sizes, and weights promise to keep it eclectic, and watch for a track by one of his birthday sibs. The show promises to be fun and celebratory, so be sure to join live Monday, 1-3 p.m. Pacific, on 95.7fm or KDRT.org. Can't listen live? Listen back on KDRT.org!

Get ready for my first themed show! I love a good cover version, and I'm bringing that love to you.
