The Blend
The Blend is a daily music program on MPB Think Radio that brings together a thoughtfully curated mix of sound, story, and soul. Hosted by DJ Java, the show weaves timeless classics with new discoveries, crossing genres and generations to create an intentional morning soundtrack.
Drawing from blues, jazz, soul, hip-hop, indie, folk, and global influences, The Blend is equal parts familiar and unexpected—music that invites listeners to slow down, lean in, and start the day with depth, curiosity, and connection.
Listen every morning from 9 to 11 a.m. on MPB Think Radio.
