As a musician, I have always had this need to find new music (hear new sounds) in order to feed my creative juices. I got involved with college radio in 1988 at Western Washington University’s KUGS 89.3 FM. (Bellingham, WA) It was a great experience and lasted for four years until they changed their music format – and I no longer had artistic control of the playlist. I continued on at KSVR in Mt. Vernon, WA until 1995, when a full time job in Bellingham soon ended my DJ days.
I have returned to my role as a DJ after discovering Mixcloud.com. Here I can upload one hour radio shows onto the Mixcloud platform. The shows are absolutely free – and without any ads to disrupt the flow of the music. All you need is access to the world wide web!
This radio series has been offered to (low-power) FM stations in the Bellingham area. KOYS 94.1 LP FM Bellingham, WA is now playing New Century Music Box every 2nd and 4th Saturday @ 8:00pm (Pacific Time) also streaming online at PNWRADIO.ORG
Moving forward – I envision a better system for giving new artists access to the public airwaves. Please see my thoughts on “Envisioning the Future”.
Thank you for listening!
