Check our Myspace and Facebook pages for our playlists! E-mail us at wbcx@hotmail.com for more info |
Eclectic 89.1 FM WBCX is a radio station operated by Brenau University students and community volunteers. We are "The Voice of Brenau"
Eclectic 89.1 features programming catering to people of all ages, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds. We also strive to "raise the bar" for musical quality while attempting to break down the generational, racial, cultural, economic and educational barriers that exist between these disparate groups when it comes to radio, music and media. We want to unify the community through extraordinary music!
We do not feature music that has been played on other radio stations in the past ten years -- or, at least, we try not to. We seek to play music that is more unique and original than commercial radio stations, as well as what the record labels dictate.
We have a different format each day, to allow us to focus on all genres of music that have evolved throughout the Classical & Jazz Continuums. We create different moods in keeping with the days of the week, emphasizing different styles of music each day -- and providing various blocks of programming -- to give everyone a taste of something that they like.
So . . what kind of music do we play on Eclectic 89.1?
Well, we play BOTH styles of music -- Classical & Jazz . . . and all the assorted genres that have evolved as part of their combined Continuums, including:
The World Classical Continuum (circa 3,000 BC to 2,009 AD) – African, Greek, Roman, Gregorian, Madrigals, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Sacred, Classical, Chamber, Choral, Opera, Ballet, Oratorio, Romantic, Impressionistic, Expressionistic, Neo-classical, Neo-romantic, Modern, Celtic, Chinese, Japanese, Asian, Indian, Latin, French, Italian, South American, Classical Guitar, Klezmer, Flamenco, Fado.
The Jazz Continuum (1890’s to today) – Ragtime, Blues, Gospel, Spirituals, Call & Response, Spasm Bands, Juke, Traditional Jazz, Dixieland, Brass Bands, Stomp, Western Swing, Bluegrass, Stride, Boogie Woogie, Hot Jazz, Scat, Gypsy Jazz, Big Band, Swing, Sweet Swing, Standards, Showtunes, Bop, Hard Bop, Post Bop, Vocalese, Cool Jazz, West Coast Jazz, Chamber Jazz, Mainstream, Straight Ahead, Progressive, Third Stream, M-Base, Avant-Garde, Free Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, Doo-Wop, Jive, Rockabilly, Reggae, Chicago Blues, Memphis Blues, Delta Blues, Jump Blues, Piedmont Blues, St. Louis Blues, New Orleans Blues, Soul, Funk, Fusion, Disco Funk, Dazz, Jazz Rock, Funk Jazz, Free Funk, Soul Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Retro Swing, Smooth Jazz, Nu-Jazz, Neo-Soul, Nu-Soul, Rare Grooves, London Soul, Acid Jazz, Hip Hop, Go Go, Trip Hop, Spoken Word, Break Beat, 2-Step, World Fusion, World Beat, Afro Beat, Ambient, Illbient, Downtempo, New Age, Electronica, Deep House, Techno, Chill, Drum N Bass, Jungle, Trance, Latin Jazz, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Afro-Celtic, Afro-Brazilian, Salsa, Samba, Tango, Mambo, Rhumba, Brazilian Jazz, Bossa Nova, African Jazz, Euro Jazz, Asian Jazz and various assortments of any combination of grooves therein. . . .just to name a few.
The music we play may be diverse, but the mood is always consistent, and the standards of quality are firmly rooted in the classical and jazz continuum!
Musical genres divide people into subcultures, and we try to break those divisions down. . . providing a much bigger musical picture, and revealing the connection between all genres within our ten formats.
