Like many of his Italian colleagues at that time, he composed the scores for many exploitation films in the 1960s and 1970s, in genres such as Spaghetti Westerns, Eurospy, Giallo, and softcore sex films.\n\nUmiliani's other scores included Son of Django, Orgasmo, Gangster's Law, Death Knocks Twice, Five Dolls for an August Moon,[1] Baba Yaga, The Slave and Sex Pot. His orchestra score \"Arrivano I Marines\" for War Italian Style, a 1966 comedy about two USMC soldiers in Italy, is used in the Armored Trooper Votoms series as \"March of the Red Shoulders\".\n\nHis composition \"Crepuscolo Sul Mare\" was used in Ocean's Twelve. More recently, his composition Echi Della Natura featured on the soundtrack of Ashim Ahluwalia’s 2012 film Miss Lovely.\n\nOutside of his film score work, Umiliani formed the rock band Braen's Machine with Alessandro Alessandroni. https://tinyurl.com/54bpyjj9", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3588161, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588161/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-07T17:01:45-08:00", "show": 65315, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65315/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "In interview with Eilon Paz", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "", "artist_ids": [], "album": "", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": null, "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Eilon Paz is a professional photographer and the founder of the popular vinyl-collecting website Dust and Grooves. \n\nHis most recent work is Dust & Grooves Vol. 2: Further Adventures in Record Collecting, the ultimate coffee table book for vinyl lovers.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "nontrackplay" }, { "id": 3588160, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588160/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-07T16:58:47-08:00", "show": 65315, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65315/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3588159, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588159/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-07T16:54:31-08:00", "show": 65315, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65315/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia803207.us.archive.org/35/items/mbid-7a2ad97a-55e9-48a4-953b-45ddc10f7f0f/mbid-7a2ad97a-55e9-48a4-953b-45ddc10f7f0f-3778603775_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia803207.us.archive.org/35/items/mbid-7a2ad97a-55e9-48a4-953b-45ddc10f7f0f/mbid-7a2ad97a-55e9-48a4-953b-45ddc10f7f0f-3778603775_thumb250.jpg", "song": "All Is Full of Love", "track_id": "d0f91fdc-3eb1-3779-bd9b-b5b372c93f44", "recording_id": "7f527f79-3303-4f30-add1-3b58b65181d9", "artist": "Björk", "artist_ids": [ "87c5dedd-371d-4a53-9f7f-80522fb7f3cb" ], "album": "Homogenic", "release_id": "7a2ad97a-55e9-48a4-953b-45ddc10f7f0f", "release_group_id": "810272e0-aef1-3d85-b2d3-e512e87fc38c", "labels": [ "Elektra Entertainment" ], "label_ids": [ "745f3292-03fe-44b5-babe-bc7eaa46a15d" ], "release_date": "1997-09-27", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Of this track, Bjork reveals, \"That song's from a moment when I'd had a pretty rough winter and then it was a spring morning and I walked outside and the birds were singing: Spring is here!\n\n\"I wrote the song and recorded in half a day.

It gives me a great deal of warmth, peace, and empowerment when I sing it live. It reminds me that time heals – not everything, but it makes things feel less raw and painful and gives you new perspectives.\"\n\nWhen British soul and jazz singer Celeste released her debut album in 2021, it topped the charts in the UK, earned an Oscar nomination for \"Hear My Voice,\" and featured in the John Lewis Christmas advert with \"A Little Love.\" However, after the Covid-19 pandemic and a disagreement with her label and producers, her hot streak subsided. \n\nAfter 4 years out of the game, the British singer released her second album Woman of Faces. In the 33-minute album, Celeste shows a side we haven’t seen before. Despite spanning only nine tracks, the album feels complete, a full arc from despair to declaration.\n\nIn its brevity lies potency: an emotional journey which navigates heartbreak, self-discovery and resilience. Woman of Faces is a record forged through heartbreak, proof that Celeste’s quiet fire still burns fiercely beneath the masks. https://tinyurl.com/4mzjsdrf", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3588150, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588150/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-07T16:42:13-08:00", "show": 65315, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65315/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "BETTER DAYS", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "25138b76-005a-43eb-8366-a8ad134517ac", "artist": "Ray Lozano", "artist_ids": [ "6129089d-56a2-4551-a263-f66db638f032" ], "album": "SILK&SORROW", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "d25385e1-b8e9-4980-9bde-be722028c268", "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2025-03-28", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Ray Lozano is up for a 2026 Music Moves Europe Award (MME Awards), an annual prize recognizing the success of ten emerging artists or groups who reached audiences outside their own countries with their first internationally released album in the past year.\n\nYou can check out all nominees here, as well as vote for your favourite: https://mmeawards.eu/en/\n\nGerman-Filipino singer, songwriter and producer Ray Lozano creates music like a rare fragrance: smooth and warm, with notes that linger long.
