New Electronic Music Weekly Update!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Hello world!

My name is Daniel, and I am your friendly KZSC Electronic Music (RPM) Director for the year! I may not be the most experienced genre director this year, but I’m going to try  my damndest; I’m happy to be here and even more than happy to be producing for the blog (and my shows, of course). Every week I’m going to create a small write up about the new CDs coming into the RPM department so you, the esteemed (and technologically savvy) listener, can know what to expect from our musical universe, and whats current in a musical genre that really doesn’t get that much public attention!
