Midnight in a Perfect World: Kastle

Kastle is the alias of Los Angeles-based DJ/producer Barrett Richards, a constantly evolving and forward-thinking artist that also runs the hotly-tipped Symbols record label. Initially emerging onto the scene with a fresh club sound that fused house, R&B, bass, and pop in a seamless fashion, his more recent output has signaled a shift towards a darker aesthetic that explores a more abstract, experimental, and physical style, a progressive mentality that shines through during his adventurous DJ sets as well. His exclusive mix for Midnight In A Perfect World revels in this headier, visceral style and swarms through some of his favorite new club tracks from underground producers, while also sneaking in some exciting forthcoming tracks on his Symbols label.

Midnight in a Perfect World, KEXP's weekly hour-long guest DJ show, airs Fridays at midnight. This multi-genre program features eclectic sets by a rotating cast of international and local DJ’s, each building upon a party vibe to kick off your weekend. Midnight in a perfect world is made possible with support from New Belgium Brewing.
