This month, we are extremely proud & honoured
to welcome the "female Derrick Carter", DJ HEATHER
[blackcherry recordings | ilovedjheather.com
| fabric uk - chicago, usa]. DJ Heather
grew up in Chicago; a city with a rich underground history and perfectly
suited to a kid with a keen interest in music. Her parent’s collection
of LPs became the backdrop for her own explorations into music.
The prevalence of all-ages clubs in Chicago were a gateway into
late 80s dance music and the wealth of local radio shows, playing
everything from new wave to rock and disco to hip hop, created a
wide base of influences for her future DJing and production. Heather’s
undiluted appreciation of music has seen her develop from hip hop
DJ playing rare groove, soul and funk into primarily a house DJ.
It wasn’t a conscious decision but a natural migration, during years
spent working in record shops and developing her skills, that has
taken her to countries across the globe and seen her become a resident
at fabric last year. Heather has released on California’s Seasons
imprint and launches her own Blackcherry Recordings in May. She’s
lent her warm voice to many tracks, and has collaborations with
Brett Johnson, Slater Hogan, Bobby Valentine, Miles Maeda, DJ Colette
and No Assembly Required released over the coming months.
We are also proud to bring you another headlining set from DON
TINSLEY [urban
jazz naturals | vista
| gallery - st. louis,
mo]. From October 2000 to the present Don has been working on his
Jazzy House project entitled Urban Jazz Naturals. Urban Jazz Naturals
is a collective of four musicians that combine sequencing techniques,
live horns, digital and analog synthesizers, drum machines and vocals.
Drawing from many musical genres encompassing Jazz, Soul and House
music among others the Urban Jazz Naturals took the House music
community by storm with the debut promo “How Can I?” remixed by
veteran Producer and DJ, JT Donaldson. In addition to two residencies
in St. Louis Don is busy playing guest appearances at dance clubs
throughout the U.S. alongside industry greats such as Lenny Fontana
(Ministry of Sound), Mark E. Quark (Spundae), Q-Burns Abstract Message
(Eighth Dimension) and Roy Davis jr. (Undaground Therapy) to name
just a few. Don has become known for his ability to excel in the
production and djing of many styles of music ranging from Deep House
to German Techno and everything in between.

for all of us because a VERY integral part of the Audity Central
family is leaving after this month- EMMERALD. Emmerald
has been starting Audity Central off right for over 2 years with
her eclectic style of broken beat, 2-step, and nujazz. We've seen
her talent progress from simply crossfading between 2 records to
actually mixing her tracks quite superbly. Besides her amazing taste
in music, she has always been there to help support the night in
any way she could from passing out flyers to working the door to
running errands and anything else she was asked to do. I don't really
know how things are going to work without her being here, but we'll
press on & keep her memory alive. Emmerald has been trying to find
another job for a while now, and, we always knew that this fateful
day would come, but it was never something we wanted to think would
actually happen! She is moving on to another stage in her life down
in Atlanta, and we are going to be there to help her celebrate it
in style. It is bittersweet parting because we're happy to see our
sister move on to greener pastures, but we love her too much to
let her go! Be sure you're there to send her off with the rest of
Nashville.
Along with support from CHEK (abstractions / emc),
SCOTT NELSEN (mindgasm / emc / xdn), and SPOON
(jack junkies / emc / rex hill). Date: Friday : MAY 28TH, 2004.

9.02.03 - TIME HAS RUN OUT ON THE UNDERGROUND ALARM CLOCK
- It pains me to tell you this, but unfortunately, it is true. Last
week, a major announcement was made by officials at my former radio
station that shook up the schedule quite a bit. It was announced,
without any explanation as to why, that the station would not allow
community members to volunteer to do their radio shows. Needless
to say, it threw the staff into an uproar. A meeting was held last
Friday to try & explain the decision, and I come to find that it
was all enacted in a calculated & malicious effort to get rid of
me. I know that may seem paranoid, but I can honestly tell you that
it is true.
The reason I no longer am welcome at WRVU is because of Audity Central.
Apparently, two individuals have had issues with Audity Central
for quite some time but failed to bring it to my attention. Just
this past week, I was told that it is a violation of FCC regulation
for a DJ to announce events over the air that said DJ has a vested
interest in. That may be true, but why was I told by 3 different
station managers that I could announce the event, and why was I
just being told about this regulation now after all these years?
Seems to me that if it was such a huge infraction, someone would
have brought it it to my attention right away. I thought I was in
compliance with the station's every wishes the entire time, and
since no one told me otherwise, what reason would I have to suspect
anything different?
Audity Central was started well before I was a member of the station,
and it has never been about making money. It has always been about
providing WRVU DJ's, listeners, and the Nashville community the
opportunity to enjoy electronic music in a fun and safe environment.
Many of the artists that are played at Audity Central are found
in WRVU's primary rotation. Every event, we allow WRVU DJ's get
in for free, and those students who are DJ's that spin electronic
music have always been welcome to spin at the event. After a few
individuals at the station saw the benefits of being associated
with such an event, WRVU asked to be a part of it financially, and
it was involved for a few months in 2000. When it became too difficult
for WRVU to go through all the hoops to get the money, the still
wanted to lend its name to an event that seemed to be in-line with
its musical philosophy. The administration has had issues with this
event ever since. However, there has never been any explicit communication
between the faculty advisors and myself. All I ever recieved were
veiled communications that often came as third-hand, garbled directives,
as well as threats of legal action. Audity Central has tried our
hardest to comply with the changes that Vanderbilt wanted us to
make, but they kept making changes to their orders and then gave
no feedback for months at a time. If at some point, during training
or otherwise, it was brought to my attention that announcing shows
I was involved in was illegal, I would have stopped IMMEDIATELY.
At the meeting on Friday, I was accused of "running a cottage business
out of a college radio station," which is COMPLETELY FALSE. This
"change in policy" was set in motion a few weeks ago with the station
manager & the student advisor addressing a board of 6 students &
a few faculty members concerning the Audity Central issue. I was
never told about this meeting or asked to attend. I didn't even
know that Audity Central was even an issue in the first place. And
worst of all- I wasn't allowed to defend myself against these heinous
charges. (You'd think Vanderbilt would be familiar with due process.
I guess those rights aren't afforded to community volunteers.) During
that meeting, the board heard the station's version (completely
true, I'm sure) of the story, but what about my version? If my future
at WRVU was in jeopardy, I should have at least been able to represent
myself at this board meeting in an effort to clear my name. My character
& repuation have been questioned by people that don't even know
me, and now I won't ever have a chance to tell them otherwise.
I would NEVER misuse or blatantly disregard the station's best interest
to perpetuate my own endeavours. My outside endeavours will stand
on their own with or without promotion on WRVU, and I would NOT
intentionally jeopardise the opportunity to do a show at WRVU simply
to announce an Audity Central date. The radio station, the people
affiliated with it and my radio show are extremely important to
me, and I sincerely apologise for any wrong-doing in relation to
station policy. It seems that some form of discipline or suspension
would be the logical first step to rectifying the situation instead
of taking the opportunity to do my show away altogether.
However, I have thought long & hard about this terrible misunderstanding,
and I feel that this a sign to move on to bigger & better things.
Part of me wants to stay & put up the biggest fight, but I realise
that the two individuals that stand in the way of me getting my
show back will never listen to reason or try to see things in a
different way. Apparently, I have been a thorn in their side for
too long, and now I will be made a casualty because of a minor technicality.
Karma can really suck sometimes, and I'm sure that it will take
care of everything that it needs to in this case. I just felt that
everyone of you deserved an explanation, so I hope this is sufficient.
I'll be happy to discuss it further, if anything doesn't make sense.
I want to thank everyone that has voiced your concerns to the administration
regarding my show. It really means a lot that my show meant so much
to you. I also want to thank everyone that has gotten up with me
on Tuesday mornings for the last 3 years. I hope I was able to turn
you on to some amazing, new music, and I will continue to try &
do so in the virtual realm. It has truly been a blessing of the
highest order, and I want to thank everyone for their friendship
over the years. Just because I'm not on your radio dial anymore
doesn't mean that our friendship stops there. Life will go on as
before, and I'll be spinning your favourite tunes all over town,
so please keep an eye out for me. I will continue to record an hour-long
show for my website every week. As I said before, I am off to bigger
& much better things, so I hope you'll come along with me. See you
on the dancefloor. Love, Dub.

parting because we're happy to see our brother get married to the
love of his life & move on to greener pastures, but we love him
too much to let him go! Be sure you're there to send him off with
the rest of Nashville. This month, you'll get an extended set from

6.19.2003 - UNDERGROUND ALARM CLOCK:SESSION 3 GETS REVIEWED
ON :SCENE: TENNESSEE - Big thanks to e21 for taking the time
to listen to & review my latest offering in the UAC mix series.
(5 OUT OF 5 STARS!! Do I really deserve that?!) Lots of kind things
to say about the mix, and I really appreciate it. Check the review
out for yourself at :scene:
tennessee. It's about halfway down the page on the right hand
side. Be sure to check out the rest of the site, too, for all the
latest info about the club/party scene in Tennessee. Tell 'em Mindub
sent you!
5.26.2003 - SESSION 3 TO BE FEATURED ON WWW.RADIO-MAESTRAL.HR
IN CROATIA - Gordan Kusanic is about the unleash the furor (Who
am I kidding?) of Session 3 on the unsuspecting country of Croatia.
Gordan is the host of MuzikaNaStruju, which is his show that features
deep house mixes from all over the world. The mix is set to be broadcast
on Friday, June13th from 8pm-11pm GMT. I need to do a little research
to find out when it will be broadcast here in Nashville, but it
would mean a lot to me if everyone could tune in. Gordan would be
so impressed if he logged an extra 20-30 listeners during my mix's
broadcast! Stay tuned for more info, and be sure to check out his
site in the meantime for some great new music.
5.14.2003 - MORE MINDUB ON WRVU 91.1 FM THIS SUMMER!
It's summer time at Vanderbilt University, and that means that most
students have gone home. Since we try to keep the dead air to a
minimum at WRVU, you will now get more Mindub than you probably
care to have.
The Underground Alarm Clock will stay the same with its deep,
funky, sexy house music on Tuesdays & Thursdays. However, Meanderings
will allow me to venture into other genres of music that I can't
really play on The Underground Alarm Clock. I plan on featuring
more downtempo/lounge/trip-hop/electronic music, as well as few
indie bands here & there. It might not be what you are used to hearing
on the Clock, but I promise you that all the music will be equally
as exceptional, so PLEASE try & tune in!
Here are the new timeslots:
- MONDAYS 6PM-8PM - Meanderings
- TUESDAYS 6AM-8AM - Underground Alarm Clock
- THURSDAYS 6AM-8AM - Underground Alarm Clock w/Spoon
5.13.2003 - SESSION 3 NOW AVAILABLE AT SPUN RECORDS!
If you can't live without the funky house sounds of the Underground
Alarm Clock, but you can't be bothered with the process of mail-order,
you can now pick up the lastest session at Spun Records, which is
located at 207 Louise Ave. directly across from Cafe Coco right
behind where T.G.I.Fridays used to be. For more information, call
321-0056. The manager, Tim, is a big fan of the Underground Alarm
Clock, so stop in & say hello. They also rent a wide variety of
DVDs, buy/sell used CDs, and carry loads of fresh import vinyl for
all you DJs out there!
4.01.2003 - SESSION 3 IS FINALLY DONE ... ORDER TODAY!
Everyone's been asking when "Session 3" is going to be done, and
I can finally say that it is done RIGHT NOW! It's taken over a year
to mix something that I really like, and I think this new Session
is the best representation of the Underground Alarm Clock in recent
months. It was tough trying to fit 2 hours worth of different styles
of house music into a 70 minute mix, but I think it works, and I
really hope that you will agree.
