Timeline

1962

Chris Douridas (born September 20, 1962) is an American popular DJ and musical tastemaker at Santa Monica, California's radio station KCRW, where he hosts a two-hour program showcasing progressive new music.

He is also a filmmaker, actor, television presenter, and a three-time Grammy-nominated producer of soundtracks and music videos.

Douridas attended North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas) on a theater scholarship where he became involved in campus radio station KNTU-FM.

While there, he hosted a freeform morning radio show called The Morning Exchange, mixing blues, bluegrass, reggae, Motown, classical, jazz, and progressive pop.

While still in college, Douridas was hired by Dallas, Texas, public radio station KERA, beginning as a weekend classical music host and later promoted as host of the stations All Night Jazz program.

1987

In 1987, the station transformed into an all eclectic format, with Douridas hosting the innovative evening show, 90.1 at Night.

While there, he created a series called Sound Sessions, live radio sessions featuring Dallas area bands.

This show gave a platform, recording resources, and eventually compilation CD exposure to bands such as the Dixie Chicks.

At the time the only other broadcasts that featured local bands were on KDGE.

1990

In the 1990s, Chris Douridas became known as the host of KCRW's daily three-hour new music program, Morning Becomes Eclectic, bringing a personal character to the show.

He was also the station's music director at the time.

In the late 1990s, Douridas was an A&R executive for DreamWorks Records, the label started by David Geffen, Mo Ostin and Lenny Waronker.

While there, he brought in the bands the Eels and Propellerheads, and produced the Grammy nominated soundtracks for American Beauty and Shrek 2.

1998

When he went independent of KCRW in 1998, he maintained a link to the station by presenting a two-hour program called "Ground Zero", which was renamed "New Ground" after the 9/11 attacks.

Later, the show was extended to three hours.

Perhaps Douridas' greatest contribution to the station was his hiring of most of the on air staff including Liza Richardson (a former colleague at Dallas' KERA), Jason Bentley (formerly of KXLU, and current music director/host of "Morning Becomes Eclectic"), Garth Trinidad, Anne Litt, Gary Calamar, Kevin Ponthier (a former colleague at his college station, KNTU), and Tricia Halloran.

Halloran recently left the station and is a Hum in Santa Monica, CA staff music supervisor.

1999

His work on 1999's American Beauty and 2004's Shrek 2 brought him Grammy nominations.

2006

In November 2006, Douridas came across an import release from an artist named Oren Lavie.

After a long distance correspondence, the two decided to partner on releasing his album The Opposite Side of the Sea in the US.

2008

In May 2008, "Her Morning Elegance", the album's first single, was unveiled in a commercial for Chevy Malibu, and, again in January 2009, in a celebrated stop motion music video that was subsequently nominated for Grammy Award for Best Music Video and viewed over 30mm times.

Lavie also contributed an original song for the 2008 Andrew Adamson film, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which Douridas was consulting on.

2009

On Labor Day, September 7, 2009, KCRW launched Eclectic24, an online 24-hour music channel.

Created and curated by Douridas, who has programmed the channel since its inception, the concept features a continuous original mix of its unique eclectic programming, including many exclusive live tracks captured from on-air performances first broadcast on its flagship daily music program Morning Becomes Eclectic and other programs.

2010

A few months later, on April 12, 2010, he hosted the first in a weekly series described as a 'new Monday night Hollywood party'.

The inaugural evening featured live performances from Dawes, The Like and a DJ set from fellow KCRW host Anne Litt.

Week two featured the debuts of new projects from Chrissie Hynde and Brett Dennen.

In its first year, the series was named "America's Best Party" by Paper Magazine.

Since then, School Night, named for the excuse colleagues gave for not being able to attend the late night weeknight event, has become a launch pad for new artist projects.

The night is produced in collaboration with LA promoter Matt Goldman.

To date, the series has featured the US debuts of London Grammar, Michael Kiwanuka, Chet Faker, Liam Bailey, and Katy B, among others, and the LA debuts of Years and Years, James Bay (singer), The Naked and Famous, Two Door Cinema Club, Wolf Alice, Alt-J, Twin Shadow, Frances (musician), Maximum Balloon, Tom Odell, Villagers, and MNDR.

Additionally, the night often hosts surprise appearances from iconic artists as well, with past appearances by Moby, Ben Folds, Chrissie Hynde, Miguel (singer), Florence and the Machine, Daniel Lanois, Brett Dennen, Vanessa Carlton with Stevie Nicks, Lucinda Williams, Rickie Lee Jones, Neil Finn, Matisyahu and Kimbra.

A monthly event dubbed School Night NYC was launched at The Bowery Hotel in 2010.

2015

In 2015, Douridas embarked on a joint publishing venture with Mothership Publishing, the publishing arm of Anti-Epitaph Records, headed by publishing icon Lionel Conway and Brett Gurewitz.

The first signing under this new partnership is with Canadian troubadour Andy Shauf.

While attending a wrap party for his latest film project at a venue called Bardot, upstairs from the Avalon Hollywood on Vine Street, Douridas was invited to come back to DJ and curate an evening at the venue.

2016

On the occasion of the 2016 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the channel staged an All-Coachella programming event on April 14–17, 21-24.

The concept was further explored on Tuesday, May 24, 2016 in celebration of the 75th birthday of Bob Dylan.

A Day of Dylan featured original Dylan masters, covers of and by Dylan, songs about Dylan, and interview clips.

Douridas has carved an extensive career in film music supervision producing the soundtracks of such films as American Beauty, Shrek 2, As Good as It Gets and the Austin Powers trilogy.
