Northern Community Radio is a gemstone that is worth fighting for. Besides, what OTHER station would allow me to play my own playlist on the airwaves?


DJ Lake Poseidon's Playlist

In honor of KAXE turning 50, we're featuring playlists from our volunteers that help tell their musical story.

Dan was born on the south side of Chicago and remembers dancing to Booker T and the MG's as his 1st musical memory. What followed has been a lifelong adventure of hearing new music and being exposed to the people and communities that produced the artists. Forwards in all directions!
