Hi everyone! Here’s what we have going on this week:

Tonight's Inside Track will feature Bes, the debut LP from Cairo-based trio The Dwarfs of East Agouza. Consisting of Maurice Louca, Sam Shalabi, and Alan Bishop--musicians who have put out a number of stellar albums under their own names or as parts of groups like Land of Kush and Sun City Girls--the Dwarfs met when they discovered they were all living in the same apartment in Cairo's Agouza district. Bes consists of lengthy jams inspired by electro shaabi, a popular variation on a traditional egyptian dance form, which gives many of these tracks a hypnotic, propulsive force.

This Sunday WXYC Reports explores coffee on campus.  Recent changes in on-campus coffee venders and the various purposes those physical shop spaces serve for students will be explored from multiple perspectives.

Monday's Outside Track will be taking care of your weekly dose of black metal with Rheia, the latest release from Oathbreaker. Working with a blend of American black metal, hardcore, and post-hardcore that a lot of people are calling "black-gaze" or "bands that sound like Deafheaven," Oathbreaker differentiate themselves from the pack with their dynamic structure and singer Cora Tanghe's powerful voice.
