For New York Music Month WKCR takes over Ergot Records in the East Village to do a LIVE daytime broadcast hosted by WKCR’s own Prezzo of Groove Trackers Radio, Isadora, Ayanna Heaven and Ergot Records owner Adrian Rew for an afternoon of conversation, music, digging and more. The station invites artists and music lovers alike to come through and learn more about their station ethos, and why supporting the alternative is so essential.
WKCR is Columbia University’s non-commercial student-run FM radio station, dedicated to presenting a spectrum of alternative and local programming — focusing on traditional and art music, spoken arts, and original journalism. The station exists to preserve and share independent music, news, art, and history with listeners, and has long been a launch pad for emerging artists here in NYC - going back to The Stretch and Bobbito Show, Monday Morning in Mono + more! - and remains a vital incubator for local news and new artists trying to connect with local audiences. To listen to WKCR, tune in at 89.9 FM in the New York Metro area or hear us through our webstream available on WKCR.org.
Prezzo
Prezzo is a DJ, a radio programmer at WKCR since 2023, and a host of Groove Trackers since its creation in 2024. Also at work in the field of academia, he has recently waded into music history and is happy to endlessly wax analytical on all things dance music.
Isadora
Isadora’s Bio: Isadora is a DC-born DJ who has recently brought her analog instincts and global taste from Dublin to NYC. She is the New Music Head at WKCR and loves its rich sonic history, funky programming, and endless record collection. Musically, she mixes whatever will get your body moving, from soulful house to dancehall to Go-go.
Adrian Rew
Adrian Rew has owned and run Ergot for over a decade, first as a label (2013) then as record store (2021). No stranger to radio, Adrian maintains a weekly two hour show on East Village Radio, every Thursday 6-8pm, in which he plays new arrivals at the store. Tuning in may prove costly to vinyl enthusiasts…
