Hey everyone,

Here are just a few updates about upcoming programming this week on WXYC:

Tune in tonight from 9-10pm to hear a phone interview with the band Future Islands in preparation for their 1000th show! (this was rescheduled from last Sunday's Backyard BBQ).

On tonight's New Science Experience, 10pm-midnight, WXYC's own DJ Candy Boys is bringing an hour mix spanning from trap-styled bangers to IDM freakouts. That'll be followed by an hour of NSE boss Beto Terwilliger spinning some low key head-knodding techno tracks.

Tune in to Broken Music this Sunday at 2pm to hear assorted recordings from the Dutch electronic and percussion experimenter Rob Smit. Smit started his recording career in the early 70s as more of an ambient electronic producer but shifted around 1976-77 to start working with reel-to-reel machines, toy instruments, sounds sampling, and various percussive devices. This show will focus primarily on Smit's early 80s output on his own Kubus Kassettes imprint, recordings that culminated with the excellent Metaal release that finds Smit using a detuned xylophone and tape machine to make a hauntingly cool sound.

And in place of this week's Sports Rap, Sunday from 9 to 10pm, DJ Lon will be hosting an hour-long confessional show. Tune in to hear Usher's Confessions Pt. I and II, confessions from some WXYC DJs, and much much more.
