Dear everyone,

An amazing week of programming is ahead of us on WXYC (starting in just half an hour!). You won’t want to miss any of these upcoming specialty shows:

Get in it tonight from 9-10pm with some sugary club bangers from German DJ/producer Lauer on the Outside Track.

Right after that, on tonight’s New Science Experience, resident DJ Alex Brown goes in for two hours of dark Berlin-style techno and atmospheric house jams. Expect selections from Rødhåd, Frank & Tony, Daniel Avery and the like. Check it out -> 10pm to midnight!

On the Orange County Special, Sunday 11am-1pm, Jane DW will be hosting a great selection of traditional and neo-traditional music from around the world.

Hell or High Water, 1-2pm on Sunday, will feature recordings from UNC’s Southern Folklife Collection of Jean Ritchie, influential Appalachian dulcimer player who passed away earlier this week. Also featured on these recordings is Doc Watson (from Deep Gap, NC) on guitar.

This Sunday’s Broken Music, 2-3pm, will explore the works of the Montreal-based sound artist Emmanuel Madan, including his collaborations with the instillation artist Thomas McIntosh in [The User]. Madan and McIntosh continue the Fluxus tradition of using everyday objects to create sound--clocks, light fixtures, and most famously, printers. Madan's collaborative work with Francis Dhomont and his solo work may also be featured.

On Sunday from 8-9pm, grill master DJ Mucho Mango will be flippin’ some well-done tunes by local artists on the Backyard BBQ.

After the BBQ, stick around from 9-10m for Sports Rap, which will feature discussion on how Kyrie Irving's fractured kneecap could turn an already lopsided finals into a sweep, UNC's release of the NCAA's notice of allegations, and if winning game 1 can really propel the Blackhawks to victory in the Stanley Cup. Other topics will include the Women's World Cup and Sepp Blatter's resignation as president of FIFA.

And on Monday’s Inside Track, from 9-10pm, we’ll be hearing the release Aleatoric Inspirations from pianist/composer Florian Wittenburg. This release is comprised of music made by chance-based processes. Wittenburg has started with a series of random notes on a page from which he's discerned melodic patterns that he can then group into phrases. The result is a series of meandering, atonal pieces.
