Last week's Wild Kingdom show featured a tiny sample of the music I
presented during a massive multi-part Detroit retrospective presented in
May of 1995., with tunes from Model 500, Derrick May/Rhythim is Rhythim,
Blake Baxter, Eddie Fowlkes, Carl Craig, UR, Kenny Larkin, and others.
It was a nice opportunity to retrace my initiation into techno, and spin
some wicked music in the process. The playlist resides at
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=33951 . Tonight, I'm doing a
second set of classic Detroit Techno, since last week's set barely
scratched the surface. Artists to expect: Octave One, DJT-1000/Alan
Oldham, Sean Deason/Freq, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson, Eddie Fowlkes,
and more.
Next week, I'll be dealing with the music I encountered in 1996. Back
then, I presented special features on Fax, Atom Heart, Reflective
Records, (the SF label, not Dego's.), and Irdial Discs. I have the
playlists for those specials, so I'll be trying to put the music
together in some way that makes sense. More on that later....
KFJC is in the midst of their annual fundraiser. If the spirit moves
you, give us a hand The matching light will be ON.

"The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday Morning,
12A-3A (8A-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.
