Hi all,

Take a look at all the sweet stuff coming up on WXYC this week:

Tune in to tonight’s Inside Track at 9pm to hear a sampler of music from Atlanta house stud and owner of the NDATL music label, Kai Alcé. Even though the label only started in 2008, Alcé has been in the game for many years, working with big house names in both Detroit and New York City. Unlike some of his peers, Alcé's tracks are totally lush, very clean and almost always feature vocals. HOT TIP: He'll be DJing at the Nightlight on Rosemary St. THIS SATURDAY! Come out and get down!

Tonight's New Science Experience, 10pm to midnight, will feature a warm mix of techno and house from local DJ and WXYC alum MISHA. Tonight's set will serve as a warm-up mix for tomorrow’s Kai Alcé show.

This Sunday, you can catch an eclectic mix of traditional and folk music on the Orange County Special, 11am-1pm.

On this week’s Hell or High Water, Sunday from 1 to 2pm, we'll be mixing things up a little bit: while you'll hear some blues music, the main meat of the show will consist of a reading of William Faulkner's 1931 short story "That Evening Sun." The story is named after a blues' track, “St. Louis Blues”, and we'll play several variations on the show. The story itself contains many references to blues, as the author and the genre are inexplicably tied, and we'll discuss how, in many ways, the story is a blues song in and of itself! Tune in!

This week on Sports Rap: Diego returns to talk hoops and NBA drama! Is Kobe washed up? Is Stephen Curry a demigod, or something more? Is Kristaps (Dirk 2.0) Porzingis the real deal? Catch answers to these questions and much more, from 9 to 10pm this Sunday.

And don’t miss this week's Outside Track, Monday from 9 to 10pm, to hear Nylon, Greek musician Michalis Moschoutis’ debut album, with which he radically explores the sonic capabilities of the classical guitar. Through eight different improvisations, he switches between plucking, strumming, and sustained bowing in such a forceful way that the usually undesirable noises that reveal the instrument’s constructive features are prominent.
