David Dresher is a DJ with a deep love for jazz. His passion for the genre took root in the 1980s while working on the film Amadeus for Fantasy Records in Berkeley, CA—home to legendary labels like Prestige, Milestone, and Riverside. Over the years, his jazz collection grew alongside his involvement in the music scene. While living in Los Angeles, he volunteered at the Jazz Bakery, where he worked on shows featuring artists such as Ron Carter and Esperanza Spalding.

Growing up in Santa Fe, public radio was always important to me. I remember having to record my favorite shows on tape and listening to them the next day because it was a school night. I was fortunate to participate in KSFR’s youth program which trained students to engineer, host, and produce their own 30 minute bi-weekly shows. Once at college that experience helped me land a coveted spot on WNYU where I had a weekly reggae show in NYC. Returning to New Mexico I was humbled to be a substitute host for Reggae Runnins for a brief period. Now, over a decade later, I’m very excited to be back hosting once again. I hope listeners will enjoy the wide but vetted selection of roots, dub, dancehall, and more.

Judah grew up surrounded by the sounds of traditional Jewish and Hasidic music in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up in a home without a TV, radio was an essential access point to the world. Not long after arriving in Santa Fe he founded the klezmer band Los Klezmerados Real de la Santa Fe de Judios Crucificados, in which he sang and played guitar. KlezocalypseNow was started by the fiddler in Los Klezmerados, Liv Orovich, who handed off the program to Judah after she left the US for gentler pastures in her ancestral homeland of Croatia. Judah is a river rafting and backpacking guide in Northern NM.
