history :: Dialect-ic Wins Award

I didn't even know about this award, and unfortunately I was in another city DJing when the party/ceremony was on. I even missed hosting my own show that week. Nevertheless I'm proud to announce:

To coincide with our third birthday celebrations, Edge Radio presented awards to outstanding presenters and their shows. A good community radio music program is well-researched, well-promoted, and provides a distinct alternative to other available music programming. Good music program presenters are well-educated in the their subject material and are able to provide narrow-range programming with wide-range appeal.

Outstanding Music Program - My Vinyl Weighs A Ton
Highly Commended in this category: Kaleidoscope Ears, Outbreak Of Evil, Eclectic Soup, Dialect-ic, Radio Radio Radio

gig :: Sinpare (Kenya) Australia Tour 2006

The most epic gig ever as announced in previous post outgrew us, Uber Lingua. It has been scaled back to just presenting Kenyan rappers Sinpare, courtesy of Melbourne's Next Wave Festival. But less African acts has meant more room for local support acts, and opened the doors for future collaboration between Australia and Africa.
