QC Radio: King Hippo with Dr Belsidus, Elastic Arts, Way Back Trio, Way Back Duo, A. Billi Free & Uncle EL, _stepchild
30.03.21QC Radio is a weekly look at the creativity flowing through the City of Chicago. We’ll hear from Chicago-based musicians, DJs, record stores, journalists, labels and parties. This season is curated by broadcaster, event producer and member of the International Anthem family, King Hippo.
One of the beautiful aspects of living in Chicago is that you can attend multiple events every night of the week and today’s show is the same. We’ll hear an audio documentary by Dr Belsidus, collaborators A. Billi Free and Uncle EL share music and words – we’ll stop by Elastic Arts and check out two live sets from Adam Zanolini, Angel Bat Dawid and Dr. Charles Joseph Smith and we’ll end the night on the West Side with _stepchild. Welcome to Chicago in warm weather.
‘Who is Dr Belsidus’ is an audio documentary to elucidate the mystery of the identity of the musical entity that is the beat maker and afro electronic music producer persona of composer multi-instrumentalist and conceptual artist David Boykin.
