  • Welcome to Radio Free D’ni!

    Welcome to the homepage of Radio Free D’ni. You will find here both our current announcements and our past playlists. Our links to the music stream are at the top, just above this post. And there’s a stream player right here when the stream is on.

    Generally speaking, we present a new show every other week, at 1300 KI time, with remastered versions of our shows from five years ago in the intermediate weeks. We have pre-show music usually starting 30 minutes earlier (so getting on the stream at 12:30 KI time might be a good idea), and also a good bit of music after the show proper.

    13:00 KI is 8 pm in the UK, 9 pm in CET. KI time is Mountain Time in the US, and it follows DST… I can only assume that when Victor Laxman got the KI’s working again he synch’d them to surface time in New Mexico…

  • 306 Procol Harum

    The band with a big big hit from the late Sixties that contrived to overshadow a lot of their later work, rather unfairly.  Also the band where Robin Trower first came to prominence, and whose work with Jack Bruce we featured in the postshow.  29 listeners at peak, very satisfying in these times.

  • Harum. Procol Harum.

    This week, we will look at a band that, despite having been labeled a one-hit wonder, went quite a bit beyond the pale, or the whiter shade thereof. Pigeonholed as Symphonic Prog, they had a far wider range than just that, as we hope to show you.

  • 182R Wigwam

    Finnish prog and pop rock band Wigwam provided an entertaining show, with up to 21 listener connections, a very satisfying number 🙂  The wildfires kept away from Cyan too.

  • From Prog to Finnish

    This week, we will look at what a British emigré put together with the leftovers of a local Blues band in 1968. The results could be described as a “big tent” effort. They did call themselves Wigwam, after all. Not entirely happy with being labeled “Prog,” they said they did “deep Pop,” and you can find out whatever that is supposed to be if you tune in on Sunday.

  • 305 Mysty Jazz

    One of my first DJ shows, back in the days of the DMR, repurposed for the Mysterium weekend.  Max 14 listeners, so not everyone was in Portland.

  • Mysterius…

    Since it’s Mysterium time, this week will be a jazzy look at Myst-ish things. A rivening trail of odds and sods, leading the listener from exile to revelation, even to the end of ages. Or straight into the City, depending on which book you pick up.

  • 181R Miles Davis – The Birth Of The Cool and more

    A third Miles Davis collection, concentrating on his rise to fame and the rise of the Cool Jazz style.  16 listener connections at best, which is a good number.

    (more…)

  • Happy Birthday, Cool!

    This week’s offering is a look back at what Miles Davis did around the time of Birth of the Cool. Well, around the time the tracks collected on that compilation were recorded, so we’re talking about the end of the 1940s and onwards: the genesis of what became Cool Jazz.

  • 304 Easy Listening 2

    A second dose of easy listening tracks, with stuff from piano bars in Paris, Italian cinema music and British ensembles like Sounds Orchestral.  A goodly number of listeners too, up to 24 at best.

    (more…)

  • It Ain’t Easy

    Actually, yes it is. Easy Listening, that is, back for a second show this week.

    See you in the Cavern,
