Well, as others have noted, the reggae-tinted stuff is more a genre of
Hawaiian music than representative of the entirety of "modern Hawaiian
music."
If you liked having KCCN available at your desk, though, don't forget
KINE:

Live Audio Link (Chaincast):

KINE's playlist is probably closer to the definition of Hawaiian music
than KCCN -- it skews a little more toward the traditional.
Personally, I wish KHUI -- the newest station at 99.5 -- had a website
with playlists and live audio. At times it's a little strange, but
their playlist is ... well, usually more "gentle" (and for corporate
purposes works pretty good as Hawaiian Muzak). And they play a lot of
older songs -- Hui `Ohana, Olomana -- that make me stop, drop
everything, and try to hunt down the track online.
