6-12-19 Special Artist Feature: Bjork!

A special 2 hour radio show in homage to Bjork, and her influence on electronic music.

Thousands of remixes have been made by DJ's inspired by her music.  Some can be found at bjorkremixes.com, Sunday in the Park, and Feisar.  Back in the 1990's, there was a wonderful place for amateur, unofficial remixes at the Bjork Remix Web (arktikos.com).  Unfortunately, it is no longer up, but many fans (like me) downloaded substantial parts of it.  I play a few late in this set.  I would love to find more remixes and more information about the DJ's.  Perhaps this will be an ongoing research project...

This show is part of a fundraising week to support non-commercial, independent radio station WTJU.  If you support non-commercial, community radio, then please consider making a donation.  It's truly a wonderful cultural resource, staffed by volunteers like myself.

Listen here for up to two weeks.
