strongboi took over KEXP’s studio on August 14, 2025, to drop a radiant in-studio version of their single “special.” Alice Matthew’s soaring vocals, Ziv Yamin’s keys, Dekel Adin’s bass, Matthew Roth’s drums, Eden Mechulam’s guitar and vox, and Paolo Guolo’s sax/flute/vox combined for a dreamy, jazz-funk vibe, all guided by host Kennady Quille’s easygoing energy.
Behind the scenes, Kevin Suggs captured the sound, David Parry mixed the magic, and Matt Ogaz gave it the final polish. Cameras run by Carlos Cruz, Leah Franks, Scott Holpainen, Luke Knecht, and Ettie Wahl (with Cruz editing) turned every angle into pure gold. Catch the full performance on KEXP’s YouTube channel—and consider joining for extra perks.
