The Cool Pool

Get an animated start to your weekend every Friday night from 10 PM to midnight with an eclectic mix of two genres I find to be vastly underrepresented in college radio: hip-hop and electronic music! In particular, you may hear some traditionally jazzy ’90s hip-hop, glimmering vaporwave straight from the depths of Bandcamp’s golden age, abrasive and exciting experimental hip-hop of the 2010s and 2020s, sweeping new age and ambient tracks from the ’70s and onward, buzzing and upbeat video game OST selections, and some hypnotically melancholic trip-hop and IDM from the late ’90s and early 2000s.

In between songs you may also hear discussion/ramblings regarding music, cartoons, video games, literature, films, comic books, local goings-on, and whatever else manages to escape my mouth. Callers are always welcome for a late night chat or a friendly recommendation!
