Big things cooking this week. Here's a little snippet of what we got:

On tonight's Inside Track, tune in for Social Housing the new album from Marquis Hawkes. A celebration of the public housing development he and his wife live in and an attempt to reject some of the negative connotations surrounding them, Social Housing is an infectious house album full of lush synths, crisp hi-hats, tight drum riffs and heavy baselines. It also features contributions from British key and synth superstar Tim Black and prolific American R&B singer Jocelyn brown. An anthem for your summer dance parties.

Check out New Science Experience at 10pm tonight to get down to some beat-oriented trax from the future

Tune in to the Backyard BBQ this Sunday at 8pm for a special one hour block of local music 

Monday's Outside Track will be a new live album from Georgian saz (long-necked lute) performer Nargilә Mehtiyeva (aka Aşıq Nargilә) entitled Yurt Yeri. Participating in an one of the oldest musical oral traditions, Mehtiyeva combines traditional melodies with words from Destan epics, region poetry, and her own original lyrics. The performance you'll hear was recorded live at Cafe Oto and is both is immediate and powerful, creating a beautiful intersection of of cultural participation and individual _expression_.
