Transmissions from Satellite 973
DJ Sonrisa | 1:00 a.m.-3:00 a.m., Thursdays
In January 2013, WRIR-LP 97.3 FM sent Rachel Solomon (a.k.a. DJ Sonrisa) deep into the cosmos to gather sonic vibrations and futuristic undulations for distribution worldwide via satellite. Each Thursday, Sonrisa will share her findings in a 2 hour transmission from 01:00 to 03:00 EST.
You can likely anticipate turntablism, instrumental hip-hop, ambient grooves, electrifying beats, space rock, miscellaneous cosmic psychedelia and stellar prog.... but who knows what we'll encounter deep within the aural universe.
If you dig 'Transmissions', you might also enjoy these WRIR programs: Altered Circuitry - Middle East Coast Mecca - The Lounge - Sunrise Ocean Bender - This Modern Beat
