⋆˙⟡ Seconds of Static

What's hip-happening?

I'm Max, the DJ for the Saturday show, 'Seconds of Static' on UIC Radio's broadcast. Gracing the air at 11 am with some new beats and fresh tunes, I try my best to showcase a little snippet of the stuff I'm listening to. I bring a focus to self-discovery through music you probably haven't seen before -- none of the self-help book stuff, just real and raw attitude from a real and raw person.

Nobody has a perfect day every day, but we can definitely try! I want to show that music hasn't just helped me find myself, but many others through the ages. Living the life of a student, navigating through different social circles and educational spheres, is hard. Every day it seems to get harder. But the only way out is through! And I hope to help a couple of people through those hard times by giving them just a couple of seconds of static.

Seconds of Static birthed out of the necessity for space. For seconds. In stressful situations, days, or schedules, all I search for are those few seconds to breathe. To take a moment to center myself. I find those seconds most often in between songs -- right before the next one starts, and right after the last one ends. Reflecting on the previous song and preparing for the new one, I find my seconds. Ergo, Seconds of Static. Each song I handpick for those seconds. What it feels like to be hit with an amazing song, a deeply intrinsic one to whatever situation one might be undergoing and have a couple of seconds to truly appreciate what that song has done. Then onto the next!

Saturdays, 11 in the morning, in the space right before the afternoon hits, I hope you'll find some seconds to spare. A couple of seconds for Seconds of Static.
