KEXP's weekly guest DJ mix show is a multi-genre program featuring eclectic sets by a rotating cast of local, national, and international DJs and artists. Every late Sunday night at midnight, a guest DJ outside of KEXP's on-air talent will take you on an hour-long journey through their record collection to showcase their unique sonic vision of a Midnight In A Perfect World.

Tom Sharkett is a Todmorden, UK-based musician and founding member of W. H. Lung. He's been on a hot streak with a run of standout remixes for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Nation of Language, and Nightbus. He recently put out a solo EP titled 25 on Test Pressing Records and it's a wonderful showcase of his glistening synth-pop sound that highlights his timeless, crystalline, melancholic productions and heartfelt vocals.
Gia Margaret is a Chicago-based artist who crafts music that is intimate, beautiful, and dreamy. Her fourth and latest album Singing came out this past April and it marked her first vocal album since her 2018 debut album There’s Always Glimmer following a vocal injury in 2019 that forced her to pivot towards instrumental-focused ambient music. Be on the lookout for Gia Margaret's recent Live on KEXP session to hit KEXP's YouTube channel in mid-August.

Aisha Vaughan is a Welsh singer, composer, and producer who creates nature-inspired Celtic ambient and new age music that's lush, ethereal, and hypnotic. She just released her sublime 6-track EP Water World on July 17th via LA-based label Leaving Records.
