hi there folks,

hope you've all had an okay week.  as wxyc DJs and friends alike don attire they dub 90s-inspired in preparation for the dance tonight, let's remember to also mentally get ready for the upcoming week in programming on WXYC - it does impress-uh me much:

As you immerse yourself in the new week we are pleased to bring you this week's Inside Track featuring renowned improvisational jazz trio Farmers by Nature. You will hear the first disc on Gerald Cleaver, William Parker, and Craig Taborn's third release Love and Ghosts which features the complete live performance recorded in Marseille. As a collective, each musician is intenslely focused on crafting textural landscapes through blending sonic timbres and themes until a rich and eloquent atmosphere develops. The improvisations draw upon a dense network of intricacies; pulls, plucks, taps, and bowings each with their own rapidly evolving inertia that together transfer the performance through an incredible lexis of sonic themes and inventions. Tune in tonight at 9pm!

On tonight's NEW SCIENCE EXPERIENCE - WXYCs own Music Director Grant da B will be spinning the hottest and most recently released house and techno cuts that he could find. It's gonna be good. Check it out from ten to midnight tonight :)

This week's Hell or High Water will feature the fiddle recordings of
the late Emmett Lundy. Hailing from southwestern Virginia, Lundy
started gaining fame from playing with Ernest Stoneman in the 1920s,
leading to some radio appearances across Appalachia as well as a
stunning set of field recordings made for the Library of congress in
the late 1930s showcasing Lundy's old-time techniques he learned as a
child in the 1870s. Tune in Sunday afternoon at 1pm.

Tune in to Broken Music this Sunday at 2pm to listen to an overview of
the brief but explosive career of Italian noise
experimenters/electronics manipulators/sound collage maximalists
Laxative Souls or LXSS. Though the amorphous group started in the late
70s as an indusrial/post-punk/no wave outfit, by the release of their
first cassettes in 1982 they had abandoned tunefulness and song
structure in favor of over the top sonic barrages and truly bizarre
plunderphonics exercises.

Yes! This week's Outside Track will feature the second installment of classic tracks from Algeria’s popular music history collected mostly from 45 rpm singles – the major format of the era. This album offers a wide variety of styles – from heavy, Western influenced straight rock sounds to lovely, haunting folk ballads seeped in melancholy and even drifting cinematic atmospheres. This diverse record provides an interesting glimpse into the pivotal point in the nation’s history between independence and looming civil war; each track contains a distinct passion and fierce exploration of the “Arabic and electric”, forging ahead from tradition but embracing youth and unifying identity. Liner notes were written by legendary Algerian radio DJ Omar Zelig. Tune in Monday at 9pm!
