This weekend at midnight Saturday/12AM Sunday (GMT- 8hrs), the Wild
Kingdom features a 3-hour Mayhem radio special called "Double Dutch
Delight", featuring the work of two of Utrecht's finest, The Connection
Machine and Maarten van der Vleuten. The Connection Machine's first
12", "Bitflower", was released on Carl Craig's Planet E imprint in
1994, and is a perfect example of dreamy IDM/313 hybrid techno. Their
total released catalog is small - (4) 12"s and a CD, but the quality is
exquisite. Maarten van derVleuten has been a mover and shaker in the
Dutch techno/house scene since early days, and he has a sprawling
catalog of releases under many names, and on many labels - Djax, Prime,
R&S, TZ, Apollo, Outrage, Signum, See Saw, ESP, and U-trax, to name a
few. In contrast to the Connection Machine, the special will offer just
a taster of Maarten's output (no real surprise, given that the special
is only 3 hours long). Those wishing to do remedial research on van der
Vleuten can check out discogs.com for more information.
Last week's Wild Kingdom was preempted by a 24 hour KFJC Mayhem special
called "Doing It to Death", a celebration of the life and times of James
Brown. The playlist is located at
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=32645 . Upcoming Mayhem
specials are cataloged at
http://www.kfjc.org/programming/mayhem/index.php . Folks liking
strange/eclectic music will find mind fodder there....
"The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday Morning,
12A-3A (7A-10A GMT). Potential listeners outside the San Francisco Bay
area can find a webcast at http://www.kfjc.org/netcast/index.php .
Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived at kfjc.org.
You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show "Just
Desserts" that was on Fridays 10P-2A from 1992 through 1999. Archived
playlists exist for that show starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve
1999/2000, so you can see what what I'm up to these days is pretty much
consistent with what I was up to all along.
If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to
let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all
over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events.
If you want to do some promotion for an event, contact the KFJC
promotions department at [email protected] to arrange ticket giveaways
and/or to send information for inclusion in our concert outlook. Thanks
to those who have sent promo music so far.
Regards,
