'Around The Fringe' taking you higher

I've been DJ'ing with and for the ever-esteemed Rev. Cool on Around The Fringe for nearly twenty years, a live radio program that is a direct inspirational template for It’s All Happening. The program airs on WYSO 91.3 FM and has been a cultural fixture among the indie music and media scene in the Dayton, Ohio area and beyond for over four decades now.

It was a pleasure to return to my old radio stomping grounds again this summer, including doing this gig on July 18th, 2025, featuring the bulk of the set list for a new IAH episode in the works ("Music For Gong Gong") and slated for release at the end of the month. There was also segments from last year's Margination episode, featuring dialogue with renowned artist Migiwa Orimo and her The Day Before Tomorrow exhibit, which features her focusing on the hundreds of ICE detention facilities throughout the nation.

It's not an overstatement to say without Around The Fringe there would be no It’s All Happening , a true progenitor of the program. PROGRAM PLAYLIST: Osibisa - “Music For Gong Gong”
