The playlist for last week's radio show can be found at 
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=30723 .

Last week I had local patron of the arts Al from SF as a guest DJ, who 
donated generously in our Fall Fundraiser. He played an ambient set of 
tunes from the computer games Mysterious Journey and Deus Ex, finishing 
up with a nice Robert Rich track from the double CD Trances/Drones. He 
broke a long-standing jinx, as none of the other guys over the years who 
donated for an hour on the air ever showed. Bravo!

This week, I'm starting off a series of "Dutch Treat" sets with a short 
exploration of the back catalog of Eevolute Muzique. I was introduced to 
Eevolute back in 94/95 by Gamall Awad, who at the time was living up the 
peninsula from me in San Francisco and working with Jonah Sharp's 
Reflective label. His tips all panned out, and were a great help back 
then, as I was just getting my bearings in techno.

I wasn't thinking of doing the Eevolute set so soon, but the tracks fell 
together much more easily than I expected. It'll all be material from 
before the turn of the century, starting with the Florence track "The 
Garden", and ending with Vladimir M's "Sex and Lies", about 16 tracks in 
total.

The next treat will be from the 100% Pure label in a couple of weeks.


  "The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday 
Morning, 12A-3A (7A-10A GMT). The webcast is at www.kfjc.org (follow the 
links). Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived there. 
You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show "Just 
Desserts" that aired 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.

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 fairly serious promotion, contact the KFJC 
promotions department at xxxxx@xxxx.xxx 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.
