My name is Troy Araiza Kokkinis. I DJ’d for 88.7 KSPC Claremont from 2007-2010. They were some of the best years of my life, and I am happy to have spent them alongside some of my dearest friends Andrew Nino, Kendra Atleework and Priscilla De Lara in the broadcast room.

KSPC Free Lunch Project was developed in 2009 by Kendra Atleework and myself. We wanted to develop a mixed media endeavor that reached out to the musicians and artists in the local community to share their stories and creations. We accompanied the hard copy releases of the live sets with zines, which had contributions from as far away as Spain and England.

This is amateur radio mixed with some legendary acts, so give us some slack. We said plenty of stupid stuff and made plenty of novice mistakes. We were 19 year old snot nosed punk kids from the Inland Empire. What else do you expect?
