WKNC 88.1 FM - North Carolina State University Student RadioMark O’Connor and Ryan Barnum from Raleigh’s Strange Faces stopped by the WKNC studios to talk with Phian before their Thursday, Dec. 11 performance at Local Band Local Beer.
The interview also includes four songs: Above the Waves, Back of Your Mind, Pale Horse and Wasteland.
Machine Drum – “Vapor City Archive”
Based off the artist’s recurring dreams, this complex album paints a picture of his dreamscape. Awesome rhythms, beautiful keyboard parts, and top notch production that really brings out the darkness in the album. Minimal Vocals.
Flying Lotus – “You’re Dead”
Super jazzy album. Most tracks are quite short. Other than “Never Catch Me” featuring Kendrick Lamar, this album lacks the typical hip-hop influence FlyLo tends to bring. This album can go from an extreme fast passed weirdness to a slow and lulling cadence.
Aphex Twin – “Syro”
Thirteen years in the making, Aphex Twin’s “Syro” album. Ambient, Industrial electronic, even some jungle techno. A cool mix of interesting sounds throughout the entire album, while still keeping up with Aphex Twin’s darker style.
SBTRKT – “Wonder Where We Land”
The second full length album from SBTRKT (pronounced “subtract”) brings less synths for a wider range of styles. Sampha’s smooth R&B vocals are used on several of the tracks as well as other recognizable vocalist and rappers. All songs are pretty chill.
Caribou – “Our Love”
A more lyrically personal album for Caribou. This album explores a wide variety of styles. From the slow cerebral tracks like “Silver” to the mode mid-range synth-pop songs like “Can’t Do Without You” to the dance tracks like “Julia Brightly” this album has a lot to offer.
MOA – “Maverick”
I like this music, give me some “moa” am I right? (lame) Wow, what a feel good album. This is one of the happiest and upbeat electronic albums I’ve heard all year. Lots of dance club type tracks and some dubstep. Some tracks sound a little poppy; lots of upbeat techno.
Garden City Movement – “Bengali Cinema”
Sweet EP. Very chill, downtempo beats with chopped and screwed vocals. Totally “Majestic Casual” style. Listen if you enjoy those chill tunes.
Eliot Lipp – “Watch The Shadows”
A soulful album that really showcases his synth-hop style. Many great vocalists are featured on this album. A beautiful fusion of soulful organic sounds and new dance floor mechanics.
Kodomo – “Patterns and Lights”
Nice beats with some classical elements thrown in. This album has more of an ambient sound; no big drops or build ups. Reminds me of Japanese producers styles.
Bonobo – “Flashlight”
This 3 song EP really demonstrates the quality of Bonobo’s work. A chill album with many layers to concentrate on while listening. Good swurling synths. The last track is the most down-temp of the three.

There’s a lot of talk about our online privacy these days, but a lot of people don’t know what it’s really all about. Sara decided to break it down a bit for you.
We have a new installation of Selma’s poetry corner, which we would like to note, is now an award-winning segment. Selma’s feature of and response to poetry submitted by an inmate-listener brought her national recognition in the College Media Association’s Pinnacle Awards, announced earlier this month. This week, Selma brought another special guest into the studio.
Listen to all this, plus our Community Calendar.
