Host: Megan & Isaiah

Description: TRUE PEAKS hosted by mt. logan (aka Megan and Isaiah), explores the wild frontiers of experimental sound. Each episode deconstructs a unique sonic universe – from the tape pioneers of musique concrète to local noise artists, from field recording soundscapes to hyperpop glitch beats. In audio, ‘true peaks’ represent the highest points of sound waves. Metaphorically, it’s about amplifying voices that have been historically excluded from computer music education. We’ll discuss underrepresented voices in music technology, creative uses of sound, and cutting-edge research. Tune in on the first Monday of each month at 11am on CFUV 101.9 FM for a passport to uncharted sonic territories that push the boundaries of what music can be.”

Hosted by Vanessa, the show connects early influences, overlooked artists and contemporary releases, with particular attention to women, queer and trans musicians, and Black, Indigenous and other artists of colour whose contributions are often sidelined in music histories.

Open to any genre or movement, Proto Bozo pairs music with stories about the communities, politics and DIY scenes behind it. Researched history episodes alternate with music-focused shows that leave more room for listening and discovery. Curious, irreverent and opinionated, it’s for listeners who want to find their next favourite song and hear familiar music differently.

In a city where many cultures coexist but aren’t always equally represented, my intended audience for this program are the Filipinos residents, who deserve a space in mainstream media where their music, language, stories, and struggles can be heard. But the spoken part of the program will be in English, so the program itself can be enjoyed by anyone!

Description: Problem Child is your home on CFUV for the rascal outcasts of music and sound.. This program is not simply adherent to the typical instrumental Ambient, Noise, or Drone side of experimental music; you will hear the lofi demos, the deepcuts, the antitradition, the subversive, the very loud and the very quiet, the underheard and misunderstood, the far away and uber-local. There is no difference between the happy accident, and the methodical genius here. Tune in with an open mind!

Host: Troy Lemberg

Description: Looking for your hardcore fix? Then there’s a program on CFUV just for you. Every Thursday night, The Action Index takes listeners on an hour and a half tour of the hardcore community. Each week, host Troy Lemberg aims to highlight what he calls true DIY hardcore that has progressed from the early 80s. The show serves as an alternative to modern mainstream’s representation of hardcore, which he feels tends to focus on fashion and marketability rather than the community, ideals and message brought forward by the bands.

Host: Courtney

Description: Consider this show to be “rock adjacent”. You may not headbang to these songs in a smoky garage, but these sorts of eclectic, often oddball artists inspire the bands you love. Maybe the lyrics won’t make sense. Maybe there’s some uncomfortably saccharine pop thrown in the mix. Maybe there’s an off-key bicycle horn. It’s all part of the magic.

Host: Armon
Description: WAKEUP is an exploration of hypnotic rhythms, tension, and textures hosted by Armon Kaboly-zadeh. Running weekly from 12am-1:30am on Friday night, WAKEUP indulges in the brooding solitude of late night hours, allowing listeners to lose themselves in the dark dubby sounds or rhythmic tick of techno, and the uplifting spaciness of deep house music. These forms of music are free from any social expectations and listeners are encouraged to tap into their inner selves as they think, feel, and groove to the music. WAKEUP will primarily draw on older vinyl releases from various labels across Berlin, Detroit, Amsterdam, and Chicago — making space to feature upcoming Canadian techno artists as well. WAKEUP hopes to capture the freeing, meditative, communal soul of techno and house music, fostering a spiritual experience for listeners who tune in.

Hosted by speakers and learners of the language, Words and Culture spends time with each diverse language learning simple phrases, and connecting to the culture of those communities. Join us as we get to know the passion of language keepers, musicians who sing in their language, the excitement of a language nest, challenges for new speakers, profiles of generational speakers who are keeping their languages alive, and a documentary-style episode of practical uses for everyday tasks – ie. Cree in the kitchen.
