Description: KXRX 96.5 FM was a major rock radio station in Seattle that hit the airwaves in 1987. The station's relatively short tenure in the Seattle market was a momentous one, with 'The X' as they were known, establishing itself as one of the first major radio stations to play grunge, a wave of popular music originating in the Pacific Northwest and soon spanning the globe. The station helped launch the careers of numerous Seattle bands, and featured a roster of high-profile DJ's. After seven years of feisty, personality-oriented album rock, KXRX was sold in 1994, ending a short, but powerful run.
Description: D.J.s play recorded music for an audience. The songs often suit the theme of the event and the process usually entails aligning the beats of the set of songs in a way the tempos and rhythms sync when played together. This allows for a smooth transition from one music to the other.
Description: Big Youth was a defining voice of 1970s roots reggae in Jamaica. His chanting style, spiritual Rasta identity, and politically charged lyrics turned him into a cultural symbol of resistance. With his signature dreadlocks and prophetic presence, he gave a voice to the ghetto youth while confronting Babylon with militant poetry.
