Secret Music Playlist, February 24, 2013

Hi -

  Here's my playlist for Sunday, February 24, 2013. Today I aired excerpts from
an interview I did back in December with Will Ackerman, musician, producer and founder of
Windham Hill Records. I've known him a long time and it's always a pleasure to see him. Enjoy.

Secret Music Playlist, February 17, 2013

Hi -

   Here's my playlist for Sunday, February 17, 2013. Played some older
stuff today for various reasons. Hadn't played Vangelis in ages, so I fixed that. Jeffrey
Koepper's birthday was this week, so I played some of his music. And I hadn't played
DATT in forever, too. I'll play some more acoustic music next week to balance things out. Enjoy.

Hi -

  Here's my playlist for Sunday, February 10, 2013. Lots of great
electronic music today, both Berlin School style and ambient. Haven't had a lot of European electronic
music for a while. Nice to have some new things to listen to. Enjoy!

Secret Music News, February 2013

Hi -

  My name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a
New Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 25
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.  

  I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting music to play on my
show. If you have something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the
address below or email me for more info. If you're a local musician or
just passing through the beautiful Hudson Valley region and you'd like to
stop by for a live interview and/or performance, drop me a line and we'll
work something out. Also, if you'd like to send me downloads of your
releases in lieu of actual CD's, that's fine with me, too. Just send me an
email and let me know. Thanks.             

  It's cold here in New York, and I'm doing my best to keep warm. I'm
surprised at the amount of new music I've been getting, though. Usually this time of year is
quiet. Not this time. I'm always happy to see something new and
interesting show up in my mailbox or email. With the increase in postage
rates, it's not as easy for artists to mail CD's. I'm perfectly happy with
downloaded promos. Somewhere around half the albums I play these days come
to me this way. Just let me know.

  There's a new service out called DAR.fm. which allows you to record
radio shows (like mine). The website has more info. but it's basically a free service much
like a Tivo, which allows you to select and record radio shows for future
listening. Finally something for those of you who aren't around to listen
in on a Sunday morning.               

  For more info or weekly playlists, check out my website below. I'm also
on Facebook, so look for me there too. Here's my top 20 playlist for January, 2013. Enjoy!

Secret Music Playlist, February 3, 2013

Hi -

  Here's my playlist for Sunday, February 3, 2013. Lots of great new music
this month. Foremost among the new releases are newly released albums of older
material from Vidna Obmana, and a bunch of new stuff from the Groove
Unlimited label. Good to hear new music from both sources. Also, I
realized recently that I hadn't played any of Zero Ohms' older music in a
long time, so I rectified that. Enjoy!
