British composer Frank Bridge, born 175 years ago (1879-1941), is known if at all as the composer of a theme on which Benjamin Britten, his student, wrote variations. Bridge’s music is vital and communicative, and while we don’t cover it all, we celebrate a fascinating British individual.

Yamatsuka Eye is the founder of the influential noise band, the Boredoms, whose first major release came out in the early 1990s. Yamatsuka Eye was probably best known for his work with the band Hanatarash. Formerly known as the Hanatarashi (the snot nosed), he dropped the "I" (eye) from the band to disassociate his own ego from the project. Hanatarash is notorious for its unlistenably stange music and ridiculously insane live shows. Tracks often consisted of sounds from power tools, construction equipment, shattering glass, babbling word salads and physical tape manipulation. The band’s live shows were shrouded in legend - there are rumors that once Eye drove a Tractor into a club where Hanatarash was scheduled to play, causing $60,000 of damage. His shows also often involved chain saws and large metal drums. Eye was also a member of the bands UFO or Die, Puzzle Punks, Destroy 2, Ooioo, and many others - some projects lasting only as long as one comp track. He performs on numerous albums and collaborated with many top artists in the field. In 1996, for reasons probably as strange as his music, he changed his name to Yamantaka Eye.

When one thinks of urban blues – the electric guitar, the night clubs, the energy of the music – Chicago is a center for some of the greatest artists known to the blues. From the vocals of Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, to the harps of Junior Wells and James Cotton, to Paul Butterfield, Koko Talyor, and Otis Rush, the vibrancy of Chicago’s blues scene is a unique contribution to the world of music.

Luciano Berio, who passed away on May 27, 2003, at the age of 77, was one of the leading composers of his generation. He leaves a musical legacy of some of the most lasting works of the past half-century. Berio’s synthesis of cutting-edge modernity with passionate lyricism is perhaps his most admired quality.

As a pioneer of electronic music, he directed the Studio di fonologia musicale at Milan Radio from 1953 to 1959, creating masterpieces such as "Thema: Omaggio a Joyce." Although he wrote mainly instrumental music during the middle and final periods of his life, he was director of electroacoustic music at IRCAM from 1973 to 1980. Berio created a new standard for instrumental virtuosity in solo works such as the Sequenzas and their orchestral counterparts, the Chemins. His partnership with his first wife, vocalist Cathy Berberian, was one of the great musical collaborations of all time. His collage technique, perfected in his 1968 "Sinfonia" for voices and orchestra, was influenced by the modernism of Joyce and Beckett and the political and social tensions of the time, as well as his experience in the electronic studios.

Berio’s works encompass every genre, and we present in chronological order most of his recorded music. At the conclusion of the orgy, we will hear from Bernard Rands, a former student of Berio, and from Berio himself, in an interview that WHRB first presented during the 1994 Berio Orgy, when he was Charles Eliot Norton Professor at Harvard.

Please also see the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra broadcast on February 5th at 8 pm to hear Berio’s Epiphanies (1991-92).

Vienna-based guitarist Christian Fennesz is one of the city’s many artists associated with the noted Mego label, which releases mostly freeform ambient and experimental electronica. Similar in some respects to the work of Seefeel or Experimental Audio Research, Fennesz’s six-string soundscapes are both darker than the former and more complex and intricate than the latter, combining dense, multilayered sheets of treated guitar and synth with thin, odd-metered electronic percussion and engaging sampler work. A former member of Austrian underground experimental rock group Maische, Fennesz has also collaborated with Mego artist Peter "Pita" Rehberg on his Seven Tons for Free CD, as well as performing ensemble pieces for conceptual and multimedia art installation.

Preacher: The Reverend Peter J. Gomes, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in The Memorial Church. Music includes "The Three Kings" by Cornelius and Mendelssohn’s "There Shall a Star".

Antonín Dvorak is held to be the greatest Czech composer, whose lyrical and imaginative music harmonized Bohemian folk tunes with the symphonic tradition. Born in 1841 in Nelahozeves to an innkeeper and butcher, he grew up listening to the local songs and dances that would forever be part of his heart and music. Recognized early on for his musical gifts, Dvorak entered the renowned Prague Organ School at age 16 where he discovered the music of Wagner. A competent violist, he joined a musical group that grew to form the new Provisional Theatre orchestra, conducted from 1866 by Bedrich Smetana. Dvorak won the Austrian State Stipendium three times — 1874, 1876, and 1877 — which gained the attention and support of Johannes Brahms, who persuaded the prominent publisher Simrock to distribute Dvorak’s works throughout Europe. His music, infused with an undeniably Bohemian flavor, surged in popularity; for the next two decades, he wrote many of his most celebrated works including Slavonic Dances, the Sixth Symphony, and Stabat Mater (written on the death of his daughter). In 1892, Jeannette Thurber, a music lover and the wife of a wealthy businessman, invited Dvorak to be the director at the National Conservatory of Music which she founded in 1885. She hoped to elevate the standards of American art music to equal those of Europe; she offered an annual salary of $15,000, more than 25 times the sum Dvorak was earning as an instructor for the Prague Conservatory. He would accept the position for 3 years. As director, he encouraged his students to discover their own distinctive, American style. During his sojourn in America, he wrote several fêted compositions: the "American" String Quartet and Quintet, the B minor Cello Concerto, and the Ninth Symphony, "From the New World," taking inspiration from Negro spirituals and other American folk melodies. After his return to Prague, he served as the director of the Prague Conservatory and continued to compose with nationalistic and lyrical flair until his death in 1904. During this orgy, a hundred years since his passing, we pay tribute to Dvorak , whose diverse repertoire follows the stylistic tradition of Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner while expressing the spirit of and his love for his homeland.

The history of Southern Rap, not to mention hip-hop in general, would not be complete without giving a nod to the Houston group known as the Geto Boys. This group is well-known for its hardcore commentary on ghetto life. The Geto Boys are also infamous for the unpredictable antics of its diminutive member, Bushwick Bill. But the biggest contribution made by the Geto Boys was the introduction of a rising rap star named Brad Jordan. Eventually adopting the name Scarface from the Al Pacino movie of the same name, Jordan has become one of the most prolific and respected people in rap, and a virtual legend in the South. We highlight the Geto Boys as a collective and in many solo efforts of group member Scarface.

The WHRB Jazz Department continues its biannual tradition of playing the best in soul jazz into the wee hours every Orgy period. To paraphrase the title of one of Lou Donaldson’s albums of this genre, "Everything We Play is Gonna Be Funky."

Musicians involved with Erstwhile have backgrounds from various improvisational locales – New York, Berlin, London, Tokyo – and they encompass distinct yet overlapping genres – modern classical music, avant-jazz, computer music, and noise, to name a few. Many musicians (like Keith Rowe, Gunter Muller, Christian Marclay, and Otomo Yoshihide) are well established; others (Ami Yoshida and Greg Kelley) represent a younger generation of improvisers. A handful of the musicians play traditional instruments relatively traditionally (John Butcher’s saxophone, John Tilbury on and in the piano, Thomas Lehn’s analog synthesizer), while more play relatively traditional instruments with uncommon techniques (Keith Rowe’s tabletop guitar, the turntables of Otomo and Christian Marclay, Denman Maroney’s hyperpiano, Ami Yoshida’s voice, Toshimaru Nakamura’s no-input mixer, and no-sample sampler of Sachiko M), while many others have created instruments from various means (the virtual instruments of laptoppists Christian Fennesz and Kaffe Matthews, the electro-acoustic percussion of Günter Müller and the adapted household electronics of Voice Crack).

The Franco-Belgian tradition established by Bériot and Vieuxtemps continued to be a significant voice well into the 20th century.   Famous for their wristy bowing, elegant vibrato, and charming style of perfomance, the 20th century masters of the Franco-Belgian school maintained a strong sense of individuality in their music and adapted their style to the changing of the times.  Their prolonged survival and the distinct mark they left upon the international style demonstrate the high quality of music and the wonderful talents that were part of this tradition. Beginning with some of the earliest recordings, we explore performances of Jacques Thibaud, Zino Francescatti, Ginette Neveu, Georges Enesco, and Arthur Grumiaux, as well as the complete solo violin performances of Eugene Ysaÿe.  Their recordings, despite limited recording technology, demonstrate the extraordinary brilliance of their musicianship – Ysaÿe’s wonderful vibrato or Thibaud’s graceful slide; Ginette Neveu with her fire and Grumiaux with his clear resonating sound; Francescatti with his cultivated charm and Enesco with his sensitive nuance.  These performances have an evanescent glow that cannot be imitated.

When Elliott Smith took his life in October 2003 at age 34, he left behind a catalog of music arguably more beloved than that of any singer-songwriter of his generation. The popularity his songs found in mass culture – namely an Oscar-nominated performance on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack – are pittance compared to the reverence of his broad fan base. Many of them can attest that his exceptionally poignant lyrics, beautiful compositions, and independent ethos have been a significant source of emotional support and inspiration. Our orgy will entail a discography of Smith’s work, including early material from his old outfit Heatmiser, as well as unreleased material, live bootlegs, cover songs, and comments from notable fans of Smith’s work.

Lehár: The Merry Widow; Susan Graham, Emily Pulley, Bo Skovhus, Paul Groves, James Courtney, Kirill Petrenko conducting.

In 1997, producer Timbaland changed the sound of mainstream hip-hop forever with Aaliyah’s "One In A Million," whose stuttering hi-hats tightened the funk into a slippery, metallic assault on the senses and body. No one had to lament the demise of Bambaata’s electro as long as Tim’s chittering and gurgling machines were turning the airwaves into another kind of broadcast from space. Clearing the stage completely for a revolution in urban popular music, his work with hardcore emcees Jay-Z and Ludacris, songstresses Missy and Aaliyah, and even Justin Timberlake, has inspired not only his peers in hip-hop, but a number of electronic music artists and the UK’s own garage scene. Only a few years after that breakthrough single, the record-making and buying public has come to rely on Timbaland’s sophistication, ear for detail, and ridiculously hot beats, and to expect only the unexpected. We trace his personal evolution as he has squeezed ever more deranged sounds and rhythms out of his studio and continued to hone his craft.

Particularly after the end of the Cold War, Dmitry Kabalevsky (1904-1987) has been overshadowed by his contemporary Shostakovich. The popular image of Shostakovich as a lonely genius struggling against political oppression while encoding messages of dissent in his music contrasts sharply with the life of Kabelevsky, who fared relatively better under the Communist system. His style was essentially conservative, drawing on many influences, but never entirely derivative. He was not particularly bothered by the politics of his time, at one point belonging to two rival composers’ organizations, one of which accused the other of elitism. His legacy as a musical educator cannot be underestimated; many young pianists, violinists, and cellists all over the world have had their first exposure to 20th century music through the accessible music he wrote for children. Yet his "adult" music also demonstrates his careful workmanship, melodic gift, and charming use of alternating major and minor harmonies. We celebrate the 100^th anniversary of Kabalevsky’s birth with a selection of his recorded output.

This January marks what would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 75th birthday. Dr. King is one of America’s most honored and celebrated heroes, leading the movement that brought racial injustice to the forefront of the nation’s agenda and raising the position of African Americans in American society to new heights. Despite this fame, most Americans have only heard clips from his most famous speeches and have not been treated to his great oratory and powerful message in its entirety. Over the course of these 24 hours, we present a selection of Dr. King’s speeches largely in their entirety, along with music and interviews related to Dr. King and the civil rights movement, in order to expand upon current perspectives of Dr. King, and the movement that he led.

Nasty Nas. Nas Escobar. Nastradamus. God’s Son. These are just a few of the names given to the Queens rapper born Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones. Since debuting in 1994 with his classic Illmatic, hailed by some as the greatest rap album of all time, Nas has continued to evolve and morph over the years, providing hip hop with some of the most thought-provoking and complex lyrics ever. We will go through the works of Nas, highlighting songs from his seven solo albums, as well as guest appearances and collaborations such as The Firm and QB’s Finest.

Einojuhani Rautavaara, who just turned 75 in October, is the most significant living Finnish composer, and his work has been highly regarded internationally for over 50 years. His work explores issues of religious belief, metaphysics, and mysticism, and his impressive output includes operas, symphonies, concerti, chamber works, choral works, and electronic music. His music combines experimentation and innovation with more traditional, romantic elements. His life’s work may be summarized in his own words: "If an artist is not a Modernist when he is young, he has no heart. And if he is a Modernist when he is old, he has no brain."

Mark Robinson is best known as a founding member of Unrest. From their formation in high school in the early ‘80s until their break up in the mid ‘90s, Unrest explored various approaches to underground pop music. After Unrest, Robinson appeared in a succession of bands – the indie pop-focused Air Miami, the angular post-punk Flin Flon, and the lounge tribute act Grenadine. He has also recorded a good deal of solo material under various monikers, ranging from guitar pop to electronic music. Robinson is also well know as the founder of Teenbeat Records, which came into existence in 1985 with the release of the first Unrest cassette. Along with Dischord and Simple Machines, Teenbeat has played an instrumental role in shaping the DIY punk/indie scene in Washington, DC. Teenbeat continues to release records today, but is now headquartered in Cambridge, MA.

Doublebass explorer Mark Dresser is a musician in command of a unique language. Having studied with Bertram Turetzsky and played in the San Diego Symphony at University of California San Diego, Dresser took part in the Los Angeles avant-garde jazz scene of the 1980’s forming around figures like Bobby Bradford and Vinny Golia. From there he was invited to join Anthony Braxton’s quartet with Gerry Hemingway on drums and Marilyn Crispell on piano, a group documented in Graham Locke’s Forces in Motion and on a number of releases from that period on Leo and Arista records, as well in the early 1990’s, including the four-disc studio/live Willisau boxed set.

Since Braxton, Dresser has recorded and played with John Zorn, Jane Ira Blum, in Satoko Fujii’s trio with Jim Black, with the Arcado String Trio, Laurie Anderson, Tim Berne, Ray Anderson, and others. Under his own name he has a number of projects including an improvising trio with hyperpianist Denman Maroney and Swiss electroacoustic flautist Matthias Zieglier, a solo bass repertoire which pushes at the technical limits of the instrument, and chamber music which presses at the boundaries between improvised and composed musics, modern classical, and jazz.

Dresser’s music is visceral and buoyant, and he is a joy to see live, commanding the band physically and sonically whether playing a rollicking, hyperrhytmic pizzicato line or symphonic arco harmonics – or using one of his personal tricks such as threading the hairs of his bow through the strings, or fading between the use of his normal pickup (capturing vibration mainly between left hand and the bridge) and a special one he has dubbed the Giffus which picks up the vibration between the left hand and the instrument’s nut.

Dresser is a true improviser and an innovator – a master of his instrument. We present music under his own name, as well as with Braxton and others.

The sobriquet "Slim" has adorned the name of many a blues performer. While blues artists reuse several nicknames for several different artists, the "Slims" have one of the most prolific and varied bodies of works in the tradition of the blues. From the influential Guitar Slim (you may remember his song "The Things I Used to Do" from the great Ray Charles) to the frequent collaborative works of Slim Harpo and Lightnin’ Slim, who electrified the Mississippi from Louisiana to Chicago, to the great Memphis Slim, without whose albums no real blues collection is complete. With Sunnyland Slim, Bumblebee Slim, Magic Slim, Tarheel Slim, Shrimp City Slim, and more, we are celebrating the tremendous impact on the blues and musical history made by these artists, which by no means was "slim."

The West Coast’s premier underground hip-hop collective, Hieroglyphics have a long history that dates back to the "golden age" of hip-hop in the early Nineties. But unlike most crews in hip-hop, they’ve been successful and consistent to this day, developing an inimitable musical vision that is at once conscious, playful, futuristic and hardcore, true-school and next-school alike. Including Del tha Funkee Homosapien (infamous for his versatility, best known from Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School), Casual, Pep Love, Domino and the Souls of Mischief – a seminal group in their own right – Hiero are a mainstay of lyricism and forward thinking in hip-hop music. We will cover their earliest group efforts as well as their notable solo careers.

Fred McFeely Rogers is perhaps best known as everyone’s favourite neighbour Mister Rogers, but in fact this cardigan-toting TV star majored in composition and wrote over 200 songs in his career.

In the early 90s, Rose Melberg attained cult popularity through her work with Tiger Trap, a lamentably short-lived band whose classic K Records full-length established them as the American answer to seminal British twee-poppers Heavenly. After the dissolution of Tiger Trap, Melberg continued with a similar aesthetic of longing pop and punk-pop through her projects Gaze, The Softies, and Go Sailor, and in her solo recordings. We will play the entirety of Rose Melberg’s oeuvre with these bands as well as more obscure compilation cuts, guest appearances on other band’s albums, and covers of her songs, a tribute to Melberg’s prominence as the premiere American songwriter of the 90’s twee-pop school of bands.

Clarinettist, saxophonist and composer Jimmy Giuffre (1921- ) first made his name in jazz by penning the Woody Herman hit "Four Brothers." He joined Herman in 1949 after playing with Buddy Rich and Jimmy Dorsey and eventually landed in Shorty Rogers’ band (1952-56). Giuffre went out on his own in 1956, forming a trio with guitarist Jim Hall and Ralph Pena on bass which achieved success with The Train and the River. In 1958 he made one of the oddest trios in jazz history, hiring Bob Brookmeyer on valve trombone in the place of a bassist. Arguably his most profound contribution, his 1961 trio featured pianist Paul Bley and Steve Swallow playing doublebass. Guiffre’s compositions and the group’s improvisations all sound fresh today, utilizing space and timbre in a way that is often overlooked in the jazz idiom. From the mid-1960’s on, Guiffre formed various other trios and quartets (one electric version in the 1980’s with Bob Nieske on bass, Pete LaRoca on drums and Pete Levin on synthesizer) before reuniting with Swallow (on electric bass) and Bley in the 1990’s. Guiffre recorded on a number of labels, including Columbia, Verve, Capitol, Atlantic, Soul Note, Improvising Artists and HatHut.

Pianist Walter Gieseking (1895-1956) is best known for his transcendental Debussy interpretations, and this orgy will focus on his pre- and postwar Debussy recordings, covering the complete output of the composer’s piano music. Gieseking recorded prolifically throughout his three-decade career, covering most of the standard Austro-German piano literature. This concise, chronological look at one of the most significant pianists of the twentieth century is by no means comprehensive, but will focus on the complete piano works of Debussy and Ravel and offer glimpses of Gieseking’s Beethoven, Schumann, and Mozart catalogues.

American composer Lou Silver Harrison was born in 1917 and passed away in February of 2003; the Lou Harrison Orgy pays tribute to the classical composer who was known for his melodicism and experiments melding Asian and Western music. He studied with Henry Cowell, Arnold Schoenberg, and Virgil Thomson, organized recitals of percussion music with John Cage and alone, collaborated with various choreographers, and even built an "American" gamelan. His output included opera, vocal works, chamber and orchestral pieces, and compositions for a wide range of instrumentation, from percussion ensemble to non-Western instruments such as the gamelan to folk instruments and harpsichord. In addition to composing, Harrison was a poet and painter, expressing political views of multiculturalism, ecological responsibility, and pacifism in his works, as well as being politically active in the gay rights movement. This eighteen hour tribute will present a wide range of Harrison’s output, as well as a two-hour interview segment.

A hard swinging pianist, Carl Perkins would be far better known today had he occasionally ventured out of Los Angeles to perform and record. Perkins, whose left arm had been crippled by polio, developed into one of the leading exponents of the hard bop piano style in the 1950s. He was a "first call" for musicians when they were in LA – Illinois Jacquet, Jim Hall, Clifford Brown and Max Roach, Dexter Gordon, and Dizzy Gillespie all recorded with Perkins when they came to town. Like so many musicians of his generation, Carl Perkins died of a drug overdose in March 1958. He leaves behind only one rare full-length album as a leader, which we will hear along with his extensive legacy as a sideman.

Yevgeny Mravinsky was born on June 4, 1903, in St. Petersburg. His began studying biology at St. Petersburg University, but eventually abandoned science to become a rehearsal pianist at the Imperial Ballet. He enrolled in the Leningrad Conservatory in 1924, and in 1932 became the conductor of what was to become the Kirov ballet. In 1938, Mravinsky won first prize in the All-Union Conductors’ Competition, after which he was nominated Chief Conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic, a position he would keep until shortly before his death in 1988. Mravinsky’s performances are notable for their precision and disdain for excessive sentimentality. He is best known for his interpretations of Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, and he conducted the premieres of many Shostakovich symphonies, including the Fifth. Over the course of this afternoon and evening, we will listen to highlights from Mravinsky’s recording career, concluding with a phenomenal live performance in Vienna of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5.

Executive Bird on a Judicial Branch is a small label from Michigan established two years ago. The label specializes in lo-fi, pop-oriented music and has put out albums by bands of refreshingly good quality. It is the hope that by playing Executive Bird’s albums, WHRB will bring the label new listeners and will encourage the making of equally enjoyable music by other artists.

Evanghelos Odyssey Papathanassiou, better known as Vangelis, begain writing music at age 4, and first performed at age 6. Born on March 29, 1943, in Volos, Greece, he entered the popular music scene in the sixties as a founding member of Aphrodite’s Child. He moved on to write over 30 solo albums and soundtracks, most famously the soundtracks for the films "Blade Runner" and "Chariots of Fire". This Orgy will present a representative sample of his solo work chronologically, beginning with his early Aphrodite’s Child recordings and ending with his most recent composition "Mythodea", written in honor of NASA’s Odyssey spacecraft launched in 2001 to study the surface of Mars.

This orgy focuses on four unheralded mainstream jazz trumpeters, all of whom died before their talent had come into full flower. Each of these artists was perhaps known best for his association with other greats: Booker Little with Eric Dolphy on their essential 1961 recordings at New York’s Five Spot; Wilbur Harden with John Coltrane on his sessions on Savoy; the nearly forgotten Dupree Bolton on his work with West Coast tenormen Curtis Amy and Harold Land; and Boston’s own Joe Gordon, who worked as a sideman with Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, and Shelly Manne. We’ll present the best work of each of these four originals, covering the recorded sessions of Bolton and Little in full.

This Orgy features tracks which fit thematically the all too common subject matters of teenage depression and frustration, standard sources of inspiration for a lot of great rock ‘n’ roll. It’s mostly music from the 60’s – some minor key punkers, some wimpy ballads, but also some wild distortion/fuzz filled recordings about pain, torment, crying, being cheated, being lied to, disappointments of all sorts etc.

From his first critically acclaimed album The Newest Sound Around to his most recent recordings such as 2001’s solo piano Sonic Temples, Springfield, Massachusetts-born Pianist and educator Ran Blake (born in 1935) has combined an immense knowledge of the jazz canon with melodic subtlety and the will to improvise, resulting in performances (most often solo, but also in duet with musicians such as Anthony Braxton and Clifford Jordan) which are often sublime. Blake has made his home in Boston where he commands the prestigious Contemporary Improvisation program at New England Conservatory.

The rap group NWA emerged at the end of the 1980’s as pioneers of the most extreme strains of gangsta rap. They adapted the style of musical production pioneered by Public Enemy while totally ignoring any sort of positive message. Their music celebrated the hedonistic gangsta lifestyle that they were immersed in, and became an underground phenomenon with their record Straight Out of Compton, all without any radio play, press support, or MTV. They were considered to be so dangerous to American society, due to their song F--- the Police, that the FBI famously warned their record company Ruthless, and distributor, Priority Records, to watch their step. NWA spawned a number of solo acts too, many of whom are still making hits today. These include Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, and The D.O.C., among others. NWA set the tone of Hip Hop for the 1990s, and ushered in the era of gangsta rap.

Just before press time for the Program Guide came word of the death on December 6, 2003, only weeks before his 95th birthday (January 19), of the great German opera and Lieder singer, Hans Hotter. Hotter was one of the finest, most insightful of vocal artists, certainly the greatest Wotan of the latter part of the 20th Century, and equally riveting in many other roles. There was insufficient time to list everything to be played in this tribute, but throughout it will include Lieder of Schubert, Brahms, Wolf, and others (mostly with Gerald Moore, on EMI), plus complete and excerpted performances.

11:00 pm-12:00 am: The Hour of DSent

A conscious hour of socio-political hip hop, with a hefty side platter of interviews, live guests, and hip hop cultural news programming accompany the meaty beats.

12:00 am-1:00 am: The Souls of Crunk Folk

A fresh line-up of hip hop, soul, funk, and everything in between–"the most beautiful expression of human experience born this side of the seas".

1:00 am-2:00 am: The Storm Front

Primarily geared toward mainstream hip hop past and present, yet without being "pop", with big hits as well as lesser-known songs by popular and well-respected artists. The music will mainly be a mix of old and new school rap, with some R&B and occasional gospel and reggae.

3:30 am-5:30 am

A variety of electronic music spanning every pretentious genre name you can think of, including but not limited to: House, Techno, Trance, IDM, Drum & Bass, Ambient, Experimental, and your requests.
